Arthur Smith named Steelers offensive coordinator | Pittsburgh Steelers 

Arthur Smith is gonna have fun using Harris&Warren in the Steelers offense. I just hope that we get to see Muth more involved in the offense

The best part is he doesn’t hide in the booth

please start using both TE Darnell and muth in the passing game !

OC Arthur Smith was extremely successful❗️ HC Arthur Smith just proved that OC was/is his true area of expertise. Great fit for the Steelers !!!

He has ENDLESS weapons and our run O about to be scary 💯

as long as he keeps that sick mustache im cool with the hire.

Way to go coach! Am glad to see you succeed as we were blessed with your passion for the game as a titans fan. #TitanUp

This is actually good 👍 Smith had success with Derrick Henry (Najee similar style) and Bijan (Warren similar style) I’m excited to see what he can dial up for our thunder and lightning.

With the direction the offense wants to go this makes perfect sense.

I. Hyped about the potential this could bring to the offense

Crazy how much has changed for the QB room and the upgraded defense 😎 it's got me on the edge of my seat and smiling ear to ear 😁here we go

At first i wasnt too crazy about this hire.. but then i educated myself. I opened my mind to it and listened to the experts. I expect our offense to be hitting the top 10 soon. We need to figure out who will be taking the snaps and throwing the ball..

Keep the stache rocking all year coach! Here We Go!

I'm gonna wait to hit the like button for WHEN we improve...

I think this may work out pretty good, Atlanta had some pretty good offense last season. I hate seeing all the fan negativity. Give the guy a chance.

Arthur Smith going to the steelers is very interesting. Very excited to see how this plays out

Welcome to the Steel City Arthur Smith! Now lets knock some heads and score them points.

Welcome to Pittsburgh

Hope coach Smith does well. We are all getting excited about what this offense could become and the next season is still 7 months away. I really hope we sign some good new players. Go Steelers!

Good hire! Lets go Art!

Thank you very much!

Wasn't who I thought they'd get but I like the hire. The run game will improve and be consistent as well as the Oline. But I have no idea what they're gonna do about the qb problem

The Steelers are taking the jolly ranchers famous quote to heart lol

This is a great hire! Everyone just has recency bias from his time with ATL, but by just allowing him to focus 100% of his effort to our offense (which has much better weapons than ATL), I don't understand how fans can be disappointed with this, especially compared to our recent OCs. He's certainly much better than Matt Canada and Randy Fichtner.

HELL YES!!!!!!!!!!

I can't say I was familiar with him, but he sounds like a perfect fit. We'll see if they'll start a trend of not just promoting from within. His offensive success ranked near the top, in every area the Steelers need help in. Y.P.G., Red zone, rushing, passing, total yards. And I think he has just as good and some cases better WR's & RB's to work with as Tenn & Atl. Will he get Pickett QB to be come back player too?. I would definitely through training camp let him decide which QB he prefers.

I’m really trying to figure out why a lot of people are saying this is a horrible hire.

Falcons HC to Steelers OC. I’d say this counts as a promotion. A horizontal move at the least

On paper this is a PERFECT match, can't wait to see it in action. I feel like now we either find a new QB or bring in more help to keep Kenny/Mason stay clean.

Welcome home! Arthur Smith

I'm happy with the hire. I don't particularly want to hear from the "fans" about anything right now.

Smart move coach Tomlin

People are dissing this hire, never mind that he was fired as an HC and wasn't the OC in Atlanta. His track record as an OC is much better. There are guys who are not very good coaches but much better coordinators. Our Dick Lebeau was one.

I’m getting excited now. Don’t go breaking my heart Art!

He will be good in Pittsburgh I see Steelers drafting offensive lineman this year hopefully a good center

Welcome to Da Burgh Smitty HEREWEGO!

Context matters Did Atlanta score when it counts? 3d down conversion rate 40%, 13th in the NFL. 4th down conversion rate 42%, 29th in the NFL Redzone Efficiency of 46%, 29th in the NFL Atlanta franchise records broken, no NFL records broken. Bijan Robinson Atlanta's rookie yards from scrimmage record: 1,463, isn't even int the top 25 in NFL, nor did he break 1000 yds rushing. The last game he could have broken 1k, held to 28 yds @ 2.5 per att. The previous record was 1,174 by Algeier 2022. Najee Harris was 18th with 1,667 under Matt Canada. Kyle Pitts Atlanta's rookie TE yards record. 110 targets 68 receptions 1026 yds 1 TD. That was good enough for 2nd in the NFL. Behind Mike Ditka's 56 receptions for 1076 yds 12 TDs. Kyle Pitts had 356 yards, 2 tds the next season, and 667 yds 3 tds in 2023. Exactly what Falcon fans were very upset by. Drake London Atlanta's rookie WR yards record: 72 rec 866 yds 4 tds, doesn't even do top 30 NFL WR Rookie yards. Just from 2020-2023, Puka Nacua, ja'Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson above 1400. Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave and Jaylen Waddle above 1000. George Pickens had 52 rec for 801 yds 4 tds and 1140 on 63 rec for 5 TDs this year. But Rooney hates dominate passing game, so expect more inline with Atlanta's numbers. His OC time in Tennessee, great regular season stats, come playoffs, has run game stuffed in playoffs and offense sputters and dies and exit playoffs. He'll fit right in here. Lets Go!

This is my opinion. The Pittsburgh Steelers are the best Sports Franchise in Sports History. Sometimes I just trust what decisions Arthur Joseph Rooney II makes. I have followed the Steelers Football Team since I could speak words. I just ask one important question about the Quarterback position? I feel The Steelers Football Team needs a Quarterback Who brings Stability and Sustain to the Steelers Offense. Mason Rudolph Saved Our Football Season. Mason Rudolph Showed Experience coupled with maturity as Leader of the Offense. Unless Baker Mayfield is looked at seriously to be brought in to compete with Mason Rudolph? Then I feel Mason Rudolph is the QB of The Pittsburgh Steelers Football Team.

Excellent job Steelers getting former falcons HC Arthur Smith as Pittsburgh OC now if Steelers fix offense line.

Looks like we went outside the box yo find the next fall guy ......eventually the owners will have to look somewhere else for guys to blame ....these is the 4th one in about the last 8 or so years 😅

I hope he figures out a way to utilize CAIII, I'm sure he will.

Need to run pass plays with 2 TE sets thats OP something the last 3 OC never did for PITT

I hope this is a huge improvement. Our coach Tomlin will be on a very hot seat.

Bro if yall don’t get a qb coach and oline coach and passing game coordinator yall is gonna we regret this big time

Awesome

We need some offensive line help/depth. Too often either early on or halfway through the season that seems to constantly be an issue for the steelers.

This gave me promise ! Didnt know a lot of these stats.

I’m not gonna judge the move into I see a couple games

Welcome Master Ken!

I am happy we got a real live been their done that OC it has been way too long!! Give the Da rest and maybe stay healthy all season plus get coach T back to making this D feared again.

God help the Pittsburgh Steelers.

well i hope this goes well but im not super enthusiastic

"You're wasting your time with that one."- Bill Parcells

I heard the steelers are going after tannehill too

TERRIFIC !!!! Great choice for this OC 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Rudolph ab to go for 5,000 yards 56 tds

Let’s Go!!🖤💛🖤💛

6 to midnight with AS coming on as OC baby!

Love it. Here We Go Art!

IDK? I say use the TE more. He didn't use them that much with Atlanta. Let's see until August.

Honestly Najee and Jaylen could both go over 1000 yards next season. Compliment that with GP and the way the defense played last year, we got a chance to make some noise

Mason Rudolph need to do some squats so he can roll out strong

Let's support our team & wish for the best!

Dang no media availability? I just want an interview lol

Let's grab Derek Henry for a 3 headed monster offense

Great hire! Bad HC but great OC, he’ll have fun with Najee and Warren. Maybe even throw Austin in the backfield 👀

Don’t be shy, show all the highlights of Bijan on the bench while they were in the redzone 💀

I’m a die hard Steeler fan. That being said I’m glad we have him, however they need to make Rudolph the starting QB or it isn’t going to matter who is coaching. Pickett isn’t the answer…….

Arthur is very manageable and will do nothing to distrupt Tomlin's "vision."

this may be bad news for picket as he will come in and give an unbiased assesment of his ability to be a #1 quarterback in the NFL. he is going to want to prove himself and if he doesnt see picket at #! he will want a change at quarterback !

Don’t have high hopes on this sign.. But I hope he proves me wrong

Idk...... stranger things have worked.....some Coordinators are not good head coaches, but are great coordinators. He had a great offense in Tennessee...A great RUNNING OFFENSE which is what usually liked in Pittsburgh. And I think Pickett has more potential than Desmond Ritter. I'm buying low on this Arthur Smith stock!

Hea gonna run plays that work not get too cute hes gonna be wayyyyy better than Canada 😢

He was really good as OC at Titans, not that impressive HC run in Atlanta tho.

lets just all hope his coordinating is not offensive! 😂 🙏

Let’s go Steeler Nation!

WELCOME TO THE BURGE ARTHUR SMITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys, watch the 2019 KC vs TN playoff game, now imagine that offense in pitt. Its going to be amazing. Bring back play action!

Now they just gotta send Pickett packing, use mason and look for a qb in off season or next year draft or both. Grab Kirk or russ give em a 1-2 year money friendly deal. Make a move look for a Center and true middle linebackers

I think he’s a good coach and could be a HC again. Ridder had dude in hell

Hope he brings back the stache

Hope he opens up the offense! STEELER NATION 🖤 💛

Is HE bringing any playmakers from the ATL?

We'll be watching the same damn thing. When Wilson loses his job to Fields. If Smith & Sully coach him properly .

This is either Gonna be very good or very bad 😂

##FireTomlin

Wow. He gets a hype video.

He will be Tomlin's replacement. They are just grooming him!!

Tbh anything better than Canada

The Falcons have an ownership problem, apparently.

Wish for the best

Kenny Pickett cpoy incoming!!

Incoming: Couch GMs saying _he sucks! This is horrible. We fans have it so bad! Whhyyyyy!?!?_

At least 2 games better next season, rather it be MR2 or KP8, guaranteed

All I'm saying is...if there is no stache, I'm gonna be disappointed

I don't kno how to feel Bout da staxh🤔🤦🏾‍♂️Great addition to the staff for everything else But not the staxh😂

How are so many people excited about this hire? Smith has 2 years of play calling experience. Far from a “great offensive mind”. His offense in Tennessee was driven by star power, not scheme. They ran Henry on first and second down, then threw to one of their two 6-4 receivers when they needed to. Defenses knew what they were doing. Their offense was a “you know what we’re going to do, but I dare you to stop it” type offense. Nothing schematically impressive. Not as predictable as a Matt Canada offense, but still pretty easy to figure out. The Steelers don’t have any players like Henry or Brown who are just always better than the man lined up across from them. They don’t have a team that can get by on just talent. They need a great scheme to be a 25ppg team like the Titans were. They need a playbook that keeps the defense second guessing and never comfortable. You’re delusional if you think Arthur Smith is the offensive mastermind to turn this offense into a top 10 unit. The guy has 2 years of experience where he called plays like a high school team. Run on first, run on second, pass when needed. Far from a proven play caller, and far from someone good enough to be excited about.

Dude turned the falcons players into breaking franchise records and coached tannehill and Derick Henry haters gtfo 😤

ok

Well, hard to say how this is going to work out but..........given what is known about this guy, I'm not so certain its a good fit. Sure, he has the experience and apparent success as an OC, but that doesn't always mean its going to work well. The problem I see is that this guy comes from a privileged background as we are told he is the son of the CEO of FEDEX or whatever, so essentially this dude has a silver spoon in his mouth. That being said, he even looks like one of these whiny spoiled brats who expects people to bow down to him when he says so and expects them to not only jump but expects them to ask how high they have to jump.....based on what we know of the Steeler culture under Tomlin, its not exactly exuding that kind of atmosphere, so its really going to be interesting to see how that dynamic works with some of these players on the roster. So, I wish this guy all the luck in the world, but I'm just not seeing him fitting in. The other thing I hate about these kind of guys is that they never played a stich of football in their lives, yet somehow become a high level coach? How exactly does someone like this relate to the players and how do they not look at players like they are chess pieces instead of human beings......thats all I gotta say about this person and some assumptions about him, but to be fair, I could be TOTALLY wrong about it; however, I don't think so..........
