The NFL coaching cycle is a constantly changing beast, and all eyes are constantly keyed in on who can ascend the ranks to be a potential head coach. Teams have become quick to pull the plug on coaches, which means assistant coordinators are constantly the focus of potentially making that jump to head coach in the offseason. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, that may mean already losing Arthur Smith after just two seasons.
Despite only an ok season last year on offense, Smith saw some league-wide interest as a potential head coach. It seems like he was the runner-up for the Jets job, and had Aaron Glenn decided against taking it, Smith would be in New York as we speak.
