Well, it's official. Former Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians is now the new head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While Arians lasted just one season away from coaching atop the highest level, the veteran football mind has had absolutely no problem re-adjusting to life in the NFL.
Ever since accepting his new role with the struggling NFC South franchise, Arians has found himself in the thick of several headlines alongside current Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. Just last week, Arians publicly referred to Brown, who has already had a troublesome offseason, as a “diva.”
However, Arians has already come up with another name for those that find themselves in the wide receiver room come film time. During a recent interview with FOX Sports 910 in Phoenix, Arians noted that “a-holes” typically “run in the wide receiver room.” Was this yet another dig at the aforementioned Brown? Who really knows? One thing is for sure, though, Arians is back, and he's back with some attitude.
It is also worth mentioning that such a topic was broached by one of the hosts of the radio show pointing out that money and fame have not turned Arians and his spouse into “a-holes” — a statement that was promptly followed up with Arians' wide receiver room quip.
Though it is much more entertaining to watch Arians and Brown go at it all offseason, both are most certainly going to encounter some tumultuous times going forward. While Brown appears primed to find a new home away from Pittsburgh, Arians will be looking to make a quick turnaround in Tampa Bay as the Buccaneers have been less than stellar throughout the last several seasons.
