The Bill and Doug Show: Ohio State Football Talk · What will Arthur Smith bring to Ohio State? Discussing the Buckeyes' new OC with Alan Saunders · 6 Feb 2026 podcast

I also think every fan base hits their own offensive coordinator to some level.

It is just part of being a football fan, I think.

And I also think it's a lot easier, especially when you're in the scenario the Steelers are in,

for people to say, well, these guys that I really like that are my favorites, this guy just isn't using them very well.

It's a lot easier to say that than it is to admit that the Steelers had, like, bottom five offensive skill position talent in the NFL this year, and that's the biggest reason why they weren't above.

They were still 15th in scoring.

It's not like they were bad.

That's the biggest reason they were not an above-average offense.

I feel like Arthur Smith was a very good floor raiser for the Steelers, and they had a low floor.

I think people say that about some people derisively.

I think you could maybe say that about Mike McCarthy coming in to coach the Steelers, right?

And maybe what the Steelers as a team need is not to have their floor raised.

But as a Steelers offense coming into this year, I mean, he had four –

offensive linemen that were either in their first or second year starting at that position uh he had calvin austin and roman wilson as wide receivers two and three um and a 42 year old aaron rogers a quarterback like outside of the tight end position and even running back i mean

It ended up working out very well.

But Kenny Gainwell and Jalen Warren, I don't think anybody had those seasons penciled in for those guys before the year.

It's a bad group of personnel that I think he did good stuff with.

I think he was ever going to be...

Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan or put the Steelers in the realm of those teams that are at the very top of the NFL in terms of what they're doing on offense schematically?

Probably not.
