Last week, the Steelers appointed Arthur Smith.

A former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons and offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans, as their new offensive coordinator.

While the move drew criticism from the fan base, former Tennessee Titans offensive tackle and current Bussin’ With The Boys co-host Taylor Lewan gave Smith audible praise during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show.

Lewan stated, “Arthur Smith is the reason we made it to the 2019 AFC Championship Game.” “He will enter the game and relieve pressure from the quarterback, whoever that player may be. When the season is over, Najee Harris is the one who will be the happiest with his role in that offense.

Smith’s use of his best players in 2023—or lack thereof—has drawn the most criticism.

It is a reasonable factor and justification for refusing the job. But in the 2019 season, Tennessee came within one game of winning the Super Bowl. The Titans ranked sixth in the NFL in terms of EPA per play and ninth in the league in terms of points per game.
