The Steelers have been under fire this past week like perhaps never before under Mike Tomlin, so how do they respond? While coaches like Arthur Smith and Teryl Austin take their marching orders from Tomlin, they know they have a role. On Thursday, the Steelers’ offensive coordinator indicated this is a test for the group.
During the Steelers’ loss to the Bills, fans chanted “Fire Tomlin” and booed Renegade. As a former head coach himself who has lost a job, Arthur Smith knows what that’s like. “This isn’t business for the meek, especially mentally”, he said, via transcript provided by the team’s media department.
