AFC North watch: Steelers undergo a big coaching change

A big coaching change for the Steelers.

The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t the only team in the AFC North undergoing some major coaching overhauls this offseason.

Elsewhere, the Pittsburgh Steelers finally nailed down their next offensive coordinator on Tuesday, hiring Arthur Smith in the role.

Smith last spent time with the Atlanta Falcons as head coach from 2021-2023. Before that, he served as the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans.

Speaking of the Titans, that team is the reason the Bengals have undergone the first major coaching change of the Zac Taylor era. Brian Callahan left to take the head coach position there, with the Bengals promoting Dan Pitcher to offensive coordinator in order to fill the void.

Based on the reaction of Steelers players to the Smith news, the team is looking forward to the new era.
