Bruce Arians steps down - moves to Front Office

[Simstim]

I'm surprised, even if there were signs leading up to it.

 

What a crazy off season.

[stuvian]

I was never impressed with Arians but was always impressed with Bowles. Arians had vet QBs all through his HC career so he is no better than say Jon Gruden or Barry Switzer. This feels like a league engineered diversity hire but sometimes good things happen to good people for less than noble reasons

I can see the Coach right now sitting in his lanai with a glass of good bourbon admiring his ring. Well done.

How about "before" this season, again? 🙂

It's possible or maybe Brady cuts a deal with Miami if he's not thrilled with Bowles? Gronk has made no decisions? Who knows....if AB comes back you might as well have hard knocks film crew prepare for Tampa. 

[Logic]

I’d bet anything that Brady only agreed to come back when he was given assurances Arians would not be returning as head coach.

He knows Brady is toast this year and wants no part of it. Smart man.

Brady to Dolphins next?  lol

It was the first thought I had when hearing this news, the whole thing feels odd.

Bye bye Bruce....

Brady to SF or Miami in the works.

I’d love to see Brady go to Miami but doubt it

Contrary to the belief of some, Bowles is a very good coach.  The JESTS were/are a dumpster fire of a front office and did little to provide a competitive roster for Bowles and his staff.  He was fired but the problem in New York was not related to coaching.  Bowles transformed the TB defense to be one of the best units in the league (even with a bunch of injuries in 2021).  Players like him and they will play hard for him.  Tampa should easily win their division this year.

Has to be health related, right? Arians looked like he could barely handle it last year. His health is not good at all.

I’m in on all conspiracy theories for this one.  Really odd timing.

To date, I'd argue that Bowles is definitely an ELITE COORDINATOR. 

 

He's got another chance now to make it work as the head coach. As long as the QB is who it is, of course, I hope they fail spectacularly.

Hot take.

 

Arians knows they're trading Brady and wants nothing to do with coaching Jimmy G or Tua.

 

Should be done by the draft.

There's no way the Dolphins would pay Tyreek qb money if they knew Tua was throwing to him. Something is in the air. I smell a dil do......

I'm sure Goodell and the NFLPA will have something to say about this.
