Arthur Smith New Steelers OC
- Thread starter Lion_Backer
- Start date
I think I feel about the same level of excitement right now as Iowa fans do over the hiring of Tim Lester as OC.
Good hire. Dont really need to pay him.
He is the wealthiest coach in the NFL as his father started Federal Express.

I thought I remembered that name for another reason. LOL
I'm hopeful that he can deliver the goods. But just like Kotelnicki, the proof will be how their respective units perform on the field and max utilize the existing talent.
He befuddled fantasy football people all year. Bijan was underutilized. Algier didn't really get the slack. Pitts has been severely underwhelming. And London was either hot/cold and mostly cold.
As OC at Titans he had a great ground game. Some are saying this is admitting that Pickett is not a great QB.
First thing they should do is offer Mike Munchack $5 mil/yr for more to come back for two years. Before him, the Oline sucked. While here it seemed like 5-6 linemen make the Pro Bowl.

And if he doesn’t work out as an OC, he can always buy the team.
He did have a young Derrick Henry and AJ Brown on those offenses.
Now he has Harris and Warren. Both good backs if they have good line and a good system.

Unless QB play improves, you gotta have a great WR1 or better OL play to maximize them. So, Munchak?
Does Tannehill improve the QB play. I'd be absolutely shocked if they don't let Mason walk and sigh Tannehill or Russ if the Broncos move on. Pickett starts a couple games before they give up on him.
Hey you're worth billions so figured you don't need our paltry $2 million a year salary.
Tannehill MIGHT be an improvement over what they have currently, but it seems to be more like a known combo that could get you to the playoffs again, but isn't likely to do any damage.
I like this hire - no he didn't work out as a HC, but he had OC'ed some really good offenses in his past. Run first, which makes sense given the Steelers current roster: emerging OL, two solid RBs, 2-3 solid TEs, and a WR or two that can take the top off.
I do also think this shows ownership/coaching don't feel great about their current QB room. Big decisions coming there obviously.
