I was trying to remember where I knew that name.

Falcons/Steelers Arthur Smith?? Aw hell nah

I knew he looked familiar too. A dolphins fan but I live in Atlanta

But also 2019 Titans Arthur Smith

Not hard to hand the ball off to Prime Derrick Henry 400 times. A mentally disabled monkey could run that offense.

Also had prime AJ Brown

Exactly, the only coaching success this guy has as an OC is having Prime Henry and Prime AJ Brown. I think I could run a competent offense with that

I am a Michigan grad from New England. This boner is not going away anytime soon.

They have two former NFL coordinator/coaches as their OC and DC. Arthur Smith and Matt Patricia.

Both certified NFL Terrorists.

Also the son of Fred Smith of FedEx (fact for trivia night, I guess).

The real value is hiring the OC who’s the heir to a mega fortune

Besides his TE fetish he was fine for the Steelers. Massive upgrade from Randy Fichtner and Matt Canada but that’s not saying much.

I’m interested to see how Mike McCarthy compares to Smith. Arthur’s offense was certainly decently competent, but I think there’s some more there. I will say he was calling plays with a hand tied behind his back given the QB situation
