The Buccaneers are done, but head coach Bruce Arians isn’t. Moments after the Bucs’ heartbreaking loss to the Rams, the Bucs head coach confirmed that he’ll be back this fall (Twitter link via Sara Walsh of FOX Sports). That jibes with what Arians has been saying for years now, including his latest comments just last week.

“I’m coaching till I can’t,” said Arians, who will celebrate his 70th birthday in October (Twitter link via NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport).
However, it remains to be seen whether Arians will have Tom Brady under center next season. For what it’s worth, Arians told reporters on Friday (before today’s loss) that he would be “shocked” if Brady calls it quits.
“The way he was at practice, I would be shocked if he didn’t (play next year),” Arians said (via the Tampa Bay Times). “You know they have that Friday quarterback challenge, and he came flying out of the locker room, sprinting two or three fields away and couldn’t wait to get into the challenge. He was like a little kid. I would be shocked.”
Meanwhile, Arians may need to make some new hires to his coaching staff. Defensive coordinator Todd Bowles and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich are both up for head coaching jobs and they could be poached as soon as this week.
Sorry woke dorks
What?
Still chuckle about the yinzers who spent years blaming Arians for all of the Steelers problems and who cheered his “retirement” in Pittsburgh only to watch him win a bunch of Coach of the Year awards and a Super Bowl.
Turns out he wasn’t the problem.
Two is “a bunch”?
Two is not enough to prove that running him out of town on a rail was a mistake?
I kinda think it is.
That’s a separate issue to you claiming two is “a bunch”.
“a number of things, typically of the same kind, growing or fastened together.
“a bunch of grapes””
A number of things, typically of the same kind.
Seems it only takes more than one to create a bunch. No minimum.
Odd, you left out the rest of the definition “a considerable amount”, and 2 is “a couple” and NOT “a bunch”.
Bunch, like, few has no minimum byond beinf more than one. I’ll allow that both are commonly understood to typically refer to more, but it’s not absolute.
And I used the first definition to come up on a Google search of the word “bunch” which makes no mention of “a considerable amount”.
You evidently had to skip past that definition to find one more useful in beating this pedantic semantic horse to death.
Funny but I didn’t have to look too far as I found that definition in a bunch of locations. But please carry on, I shouldn’t let your needless exaggeration get in the way of making a point that means nothing.
“Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise especially in some narrow or boring subject matter.”
Yinzers ran a great coach out of town, but the yinzers wants to focus on anything but…
So, since he ONLY won two coach of year awards, that means the yinzers were right? Noooooo.
So, then…what is your point except to pointless and pedantic?
Exactly.
The point is if he wasn’t run out of town he wouldn’t have won that BUNCH of coach of the year awards. Instead of being stuck in the same position in Pittsburgh they did the man a favor, if he didn’t get out then he was going to be stuck in that role the rest of his career. Instead he was able to go Indy where he fell into a great situation that he parlayed into a full time head coaching gig.
