What happened to Bruce Arians Why Buccaneers coach moved to front office role for 2022
The biggest retirement news out of Buccaneers camp during the 2022 NFL offseason was dominated by Tom Brady. The 45-year-old quarterback called it quits in February before deciding to return to the team in March for his 23rd NFL Dillon Hamaliuk Men Jersey season in a move that captivated, confused and excited NFL fans.Brady, however, isn't theonly member of the Tampa Bay organization who walked away. Coach Bruce Arians opted to retire during the 2022 offseason and will no longer be in charge of the team.The Buccaneers announced on March 31 that Arians would step down from his coaching spot and into a role in the team's front office. Specifically, the 69-year-old coach holds the title of "Senior Football Consultant" and he will continue to work with the team as it looks to win another Super Bowl."I love football. I love the relationships, the strategy, the competitioneverything," . "It has been one hell of a ride, but I know this is the right time for me to make this transition."Arians' decision came at a seemingly odd time. Brady had just opted to return to the Buccaneers, so it looked like they were poised to challenge for a second Super Bowl win together.Instead, Arians rode off into the sunset. Here's why he decided to do that.MORE: Arians provided a lengthy explanation of his decision to retire via a statement at the time of his decision.On a personal level, Arians' decision boiled down to one thing: He had nothing left to prove as an NFL head coach."The simple answer is that I have accomplished more than I Joel Ward Men Jersey ever dreamed I could during this incredible coaching journey," Arians said, per . "Winning Super Bowl LV at our home stadium, with my mom and family in attendance, was really the last item I wanted to check off my career bucket list."Arians acknowledged that some would be surprised that he retired after Brady's return. However, he explained that made it easier for him to walk away from coaching.MORE: Why? Because Arians felt like he was positioningthe Buccaneers and his good friend and longtime coordinator, Todd Bowles up for long-term succe s.I really began thinking about my personal transition plan earlier this offseason. I wanted to ensure when I walked away that Todd Bowles would have the best opportunity to succeed. So many head coaches come into situations where they are set up for failure, and Justin Braun Men Jersey I didn't want that for Todd.Tom Brady's decision to come back, along with Jason and his staff doing another great job of keeping the core of this team intact during free agency, confirmed for me that it was the right time to pa s the torch to Todd.So, in a strange way, Brady coming out of retirement helped Arians feel comfortable walking away from coaching. And it doesn't appear that he was forced into the move, despite rumors that during their second season together.Arians was also careful to note that his decision to retire was in no way health-related. He has dealt with several health concerns over the years he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2007 and skin cancer in 2013, and he coached with a torn Achilles last season but he ensured Buccaneers fans that he is fine."Before you start thinking this is about my health, don't," Arians said. "This is the best I have felt in Jannik Hansen Kids Jersey many years and I'm looking forward to helping this team continue winning through my new role. I want to focus on what I can give back to this incredible game that has provided so much for me and my family."MORE: Arians finishes his career with an overall record of 80-48 in the regular season. He orchestrated five seasons with at least 10 wins with the Cardinals and Buccaneers and also led the Colts to an 11-win season as the Jonny Brodzinski Kids Jersey interim head coach in place of Chuck Pagano, who was fighting leukemia.It should be noted that Arians' 9-3 mark in 2012 doesn't count toward his official record because he was an interim coach at the time.
