Arthur smith will end up back where he should be, in a head coaching role, according to jonnu.
Despite not being a success in atlanta, smith has always wanted to be a head coach in the nfl, and according to ian rapoport, he still has those aspirations. Smith chose pittsburgh because of tomlin’s experience as one of the best coaches in the NFL since he was hired nearly 18 years ago. Smith now has the opportunity to learn from one of the best, making him a good head coach in the nfl in the near future. if smith is able to bring the steelers’ offense the same success as the titans, he will certainly get another chance as a head coach.
It’s hoped that pittsburgh will be able to squeeze two or three years out of him before it does. Many coaches in nfl history have been great coordinators, but not all have been great head coaches.
There haven’t been many head coaches who were fired, coordinated, and then rehired elsewhere and had success, according to smith. Bill belichick, gary kubiak, and pete carroll are three of the three most notable head coaches who were fired and then rehired as head coaches elsewhere that had real success. On their second or third head coaching assignment, all three won at least one super bowl. Kubiak spent eight seasons as the houston texans’ head coach, with a career record below.500. He then coached the denver broncos from 2015-2016, winning the super bowl in 2015, and went 21-11. Carroll trained with the new york jets and the new england patriots in the 1990s.
After finishing 6-10 in new york, he was dismissed for one season.
He had a good start in new england, but was dismissed when the patriots traded for belichick. He then led the seattle seahawks for 12 seasons, winning two super bowls and one. According to history, smith has a slim chance of being a head coach in the nfl again. Over the past 30 years, three of the above examples have been considered relevant examples of coaches in their second life.
