Fan reaction to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ recent hiring of Arthur Smith has been mixed at best. One guy who doesn’t understand why there has been any fuss is Dick LeBeau.
“I can see him in Black and Gold pretty easy with the philosophical approach Pittsburgh has always taken in football,” LeBeau told Steelers Depot Sunday of the team’s new offensive coordinator. “I think Arthur will fit perfect for them.”
LeBeau doesn’t just draw that conclusion from afar. He and Smith worked for three seasons together with the Tennessee Titans – Smith while he was ascending in the organization and LeBeau at the end of a remarkable 45-year NFL coaching career.
