Arthur Smith Poised to Join Jets as Head Coach

Following the firing of head coach Robert Saleh after a disappointing 2-3 start, the New York Jets are on the hunt for a new head coach. ESPN NFL Insider Dan Graziano has predicted that the Jets will hire Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, who was previously considered for the position in 2021. Although Smith has a mixed coaching record, including a lackluster tenure with the Atlanta Falcons, he managed to navigate a difficult quarterback situation in Pittsburgh effectively. The Jets are also exploring a wide range of candidates, including notable names like Aaron Glenn and Ben Johnson, but Smith appears to be the frontrunner. Despite concerns regarding Smith's previous performance, his familiarity with Jets owner Woody Johnson may sway the decision. Fans remain skeptical about the potential hire, citing Smith's inconsistent coaching history as a cause for concern.
