Former Falcons’ head coach will return to Atlanta in Week 1, now as the offensive coordinator of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The Atlanta Falcons have been one of the most intriguing teams to follow this offseason. First, they made a coaching change, hiring Raheem Morris to replace Arthur Smith, who took over as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive coordinator. In free agency, they signed the top quarterback on the market in Kirk Cousins.
Finally, in the draft, they made the most surprising pick of the first round, selecting Michael Penix Jr. ninth overall to sit behind Cousins.
Well, now the Falcons will be welcoming back their former head coach in Week 1, as he stands on the opposing sideline, according to Zach Klein of WSB-Ch.2 in Atlanta.
Smith was hired by the Steelers, who also made some key personnel changes on offense, signing Russell Wilson to a veteran minimum deal, then trading for Justin Fields. Smith’s main challenge will be in revitalizing Wilson’s career and/or tapping into Fields’ potential as a quarterback.
