After struggling as NFL head coach with the Atlanta Falcons, Arthur Smith has found his way again as offensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, his tenure with the Steelers could be short-lived as Smith has been named one of the coaches the University of North Carolina is interested in as their new head coach for the 2025 season.
It only makes sense since UNC is Smith's alma mater. about the idea of returning to UNC as head coach and the state of affairs.
“This is my alma mater, of course,” Smith said. “I didn't think about that. I know that in today's media things can get out of hand. The reality is that they made contact with a preliminary call. I appreciate it and love this place, but that's not my focus. I have one of the best jobs in football at the moment.”
