Arthur Smith focused on Steelers with Titans wanting to interview him for head coach

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Pittsburgh offensive coordinator Arthur Smith confirmed Thursday that the Tennessee Titans have reached out to interview him for their head coach opening.

“That’s not something I’m going to focus on because the only thing that matters is my current job,” Smith said. “It’s like trying to tell people all the time, I’m living the present. If you have perspective, you have life experiences, you’re wasting time worrying about the future if you deal with that. … Anything’s like that’s a distraction.”
