Mandatory Credit: Barry Reeger-Imagn Images Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith confirmed Thursday that North Carolina reached out to him about its coaching vacancy.
Smith, 42, was an offensive lineman for the Tar Heels from 2001-05 and launched his coaching career as a graduate assistant in Chapel Hill in 2006.
North Carolina announced earlier this week that this will be the final season for Mack Brown, the winningest head coach in school history.
Smith said he had a preliminary call about the opening but told reporters he is personally and professionally happy in Pittsburgh, where the former Atlanta Falcons head coach is in his first season on Mike Tomlin's staff.
"I've got an awesome job here. When you've got something good, my family loves it here," Smith said, according to the Steelers' team website.
Smith posted three consecutive 7-10 campaigns with the Falcons from 2021-23. He was an assistant coach with the Tennessee Titans from 2012-20, the last two seasons as offensive coordinator.
