The Steelers brought in Arthur Smith as their offensive coordinator to boost their scoring in the upcoming 2024 season. However, his value to head coach Mike Tomlin extends beyond just his expertise in that area.

Smith previously served as the head coach of the Falcons for three years, and Tomlin has found it beneficial to work with assistants who have head coaching experience. Tomlin believes that having such coaches on board allows him to discuss various aspects of team management, not just the game plan or strategy.

Tomlin sees an advantage in being able to bounce ideas off people who can help with subtle things like scheduling and finding winning strategies throughout the year. He’s excited to have this dynamic with Smith, and they’ve been openly discussing how to maximize it.

While Smith’s contributions to team management will be appreciated, his main job will be to improve the team’s offensive performance, which fell short too often in the previous season.
