The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are back in the Super Bowl for the first time in nearly 20 years as they take on the Kansas City Chiefs, and Bucs head coach Bruce Arians doesn't intend on retiring again after this game.
Bruce Arians, who retired a few years back as head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, had been rumored to retire after the game, but according to Pro Football Talk that report is “100 percent BS.”
Bruce Arians has done wonders with Tampa Bay this season, largely due to the offseason signing of Tom Brady, who is appearing in his 10th Super Bowl. The additions of Antonio Brown and Leonard Fournette have been huge as well, and defensive coordinator Todd Bowles has his group playing extremely well.

After he retired from coaching in 2018 Bruce Arians spent some time in the broadcasting booth, and earlier in an interview with Bill Cowher acknowledged that his time in the booth made him realize how much he missed the game.
Bruce Arians is searching for that illustrious Super Bowl Trophy as his team tries and stave off the defending champion Chiefs, but the game being played in Raymond James Stadium might tilt the favor towards the Bucs just a little bit.
Either way, the retirement rumors regarding Bruce Arians seem to be false, and after the year the Bucs have had in 2020, he should return next year whether they win the Vince Lombardi trophy or not on Sunday.
Bruce Arians has not only coached in the Super Bowl before; he has coached in the city of Tampa in a Super Bowl before. He was Ben Roethlisberger's offensive coordinator — under head coach Mike Tomlin — for the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLIII versus the Arizona Cardinals. Arians and the Steelers won on a late Big Ben touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes in a classic duel with Cardinal quarterback Kurt Warner and receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
