After the Pittsburgh Steelers finally made the decision to part ways with maligned offensive coordinator Matt Canada earlier in the season, the search was on for a full-time replacement.
They've found him, as they've hired former Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith as their new full-time offensive coordinator. However, the decision hasn't gone over well with everyone.
Patrick Daugherty and Denny Carter, hosts of the Rotoworld Football Show, absolutely blasted the hire as not "serious" in nature.
“I’ve never seen a less serious hire than going from Matt Canada to Arthur Smith…we found the only person uniformly worse,” Daugherty said.
“I thought it was a joke. I thought they were messing around when they said they’re interviewing Arthur Smith,” Carter said.
“We’re one year removed [from] 2022 [when] the Falcons were third in rush EPA and fifth in rushing success rate. So they have been good,” Carter said. “Last year was catastrophic after they drafted Bijan Robinson. Their rushing efficiency fell off a cliff with Bijan Robinson. I can’t really piece those two things together.”
Steelers fans, how are you feeling about the hire of Smith as Matt Canada's official replacement?
