    Buccaneers now finalizing deal to make Bruce Arians their next head coach, per sources. The former Cardinals’ HC will be the Bucs next HC.

    A lot of these guys retire and then realize the wife wants them to do all these projects in the house and travel to Timbuktu to watch the birds sing and they really miss coaching and being in the steam room with other guys.

    He should have been sent down the road with Koetter.

    I hope not

    I've seen enough

    Guy has never been accurate & never will be

    When your stud receivers (Mike Evans & DeSean Jackson) complain openly late last year about their frustrations of not having anyone to get them the ball, that says a lot.

    Bruce Arians is moving fast on his way to Tampa Bay. And Cardinals fans will recognize much of the Buccaneers’ new coaching staff.

    Todd Bowles will join Arians in Tampa and serve as the Bucs’ defensive coordinator, Albert Breer of SI.com tweets. Byron Leftwich and Harold Goodwin have pledged to follow Arians to south Florida as well.

    Leftwich will serve as Tampa Bay’s passing-game coordinator, and Goodwin will come aboard as the run-game overseer, Breer notes. Like Bowles, both worked under Arians in Arizona. Leftwich received his full-time coaching start under Arians and moved up to Cardinals OC under Steve Wilks. The Cardinals, following a season that ended with No. 32 rankings in points and yards, fired him at season’s end, however, paving a path to Tampa.

    Bowles met with Washington about an unspecified role Tuesday, but he will rejoin Arians. The former NFL defensive back-turned-Jets HC made his best case for that New York job by leading the Cardinals’ defense in 2013-14. They were a top-seven unit in each season, helping the Cards to back-to-back 10-win campaigns. Matters did not go too well for Bowles in New York (with a less talented roster), but he will be tasked with repairing a Bucs defense that has been among the league’s worst in recent years.

    Nope, brilliant. TB won the coaching carousel. Looking to hammer the TB win total OVR next year.

    Arians is the "QB whisperer". Go look at his history.

    He's known Jameis since middle school. This may not make the Bucs a SB contender, but they'll punch above their weight now.

    And Todd Bowles is the DC now?? Huge win.

    Bottle this post up, and resurface it next year. I have full confidence here.

    Plus, I'm fading what looks like all of SBR, which is like a 95% win rate.

    Can’t be a lot worst then KC ? There’s always surprise teams every year in the NFL - the talent between every team in the NFL isn’t that far off - good coach with a good staff can change things quickly

    i have no doubt bucs offense will score some points but the defense needs alot help and the gm likes take kickers in 2nd round and pass on derwin james , confidence in light very low

    This will be the best coaching hire this offseason - he instantly made zona very good but couldn’t win the big games -
    Not sure what happen the last few years - Palmer ran out of gas - luck-big Ben had great years under Arians and love him - 1 thing you need as a
    Coach in the NFL is respect from the players - and he’s not going have a hard time finding that- Arians is well respected in the NFL
