The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive coordinator search is over. Arthur Smith is their guy. Time will tell if he’s the right hire, and ultimately, the results will tell that story. If the Steelers put points on the board and win games, it’ll be a genius move. If their struggles continue, fire up those College Gameday signs. That’s life in the NFL.
One thing we can conclude is the team’s process. Only their second outside coordinator (offense or defense) hire since 2001, this is something of new ground for Pittsburgh. They usually prefer to internally promote instead of bringing in a fresh face.
