We’ve known the Pittsburgh Steelers would be looking for a new offensive coordinator this offseason from the moment Matt Canada was fired mid-season. While fans had been calling for change, the removal was shocking for a Pittsburgh franchise that hadn’t made an in-season change to their coaching staff since 1941.
Then, running backs coach Eddie Faulkner took over playcalling duties in Pittsburgh, but the expectation was always for the Steelers to re-consider their options this offseason. That time has finally come.
While the Baltimore Ravens are getting prepared to take on the Kansas City Chiefs, their AFC North rivals are busy making plans to improve next season. According to NFL insider Tom Pelissero, the Pittsburgh Steelers are interviewing Arthur Smith on Sunday for their offensive coordinator vacancy.
Smith, while recently fired from the Atlanta Falcons after leading a 21-30 record across three seasons, is viewed as a bright offensive mind. It’s the reason he got the job to begin with, after helping the Tennesee Titans rank second and fourth in yards and points scored during the 2020 season.
