Arthur Smith once worked for Mike Vrabel. Sunday, they’ll be coaching on opposite sidelines. Former Pittsburgh Steelers tight end MyCole Pruitt thinks it’ll be hard for the Steelers’ offense to surprise the Patriots’ defense. The small fraternity that is coaching offers plenty of links for this Week 3 game.
“They definitely have a lot in common, and Vrabel knows Art’s offense inside and out,” Pruitt told the PPG’s Brian Batko in a recent interview.
Vrabel was the Tennessee Titans’ head coach when Smith first became an NFL offensive coordinator. Tennessee hired Vrabel in 2018 with Smith as one of the few holdovers from the previous regime, ascending into a coordinator role for the first time.
