Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith was pegged as a top candidate for the open head coach at the University of North Carolina by On3’s Andy Staples on Tuesday. North Carolina is Smith’s alma mater.

On3 Sports' Andy Staples named Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith a candidate for the North Carolina head coach opening.

And while many believe Arthur Smith could be doing more (which may be a fair point), he has done largely well with the pieces he’s been given. Smith has done such a good job that he has been named as a candidate to replace Mack Brown as the head coach at North Carolina.
