The Pittsburgh Steelers have always been a family-oriented organization. Ties to Pittsburgh run strong, and oftentimes, when somebody is hired to the team, you can trace the dots back to some form of a connection to the organization. The Steelers new offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith, is no different.
In a one-on-one interview with Missi Matthews, Smith was asked about those connections and if he leaned on guys like Mike Munchak, Mike Vrabel, or Mike Mularkey throughout the hiring process with Pittsburgh.
“A little bit,” Smith said in a video of the interview posted on the Steelers’ website.
