Did Tom Brady play a part in Bruce Arians' shocking decision to step down as Buccaneers coach?

None of this means that Brady played a part in forcing Arians out, but there's definitely a lot of evidence to suggest that it's at least a possibility. Brady praised Arians in a social media post and you can check that out by clicking here. As a matter of fact, the TB Times has reported that Brady was informed of Arians' retirement decision on either March 13 or March 14, which is extremely notable, because Brady announced his comeback on March 13. One thing that didn't force Arians into retirement was his health. Almost as soon as Arians made his announcement, speculation started that friction with Tom Brady might have played a part in Arians' decision to step down. What's not necessarily normal is the timeline of Arians' sudden retirement that wasn't actually so sudden.

Les Bucs restaient en effet sur une élimination précoce en play-offs, face au futur champion, les Los Angeles Rams. «La décision de Tom de revenir et l'excellent travail (des dirigeants), en gardant le noyau de cette équipe intact, m'ont convaincu que c'était le bon moment pour passer le flambeau à Todd», a-t-il néanmoins expliqué. «Tu es un homme et un coach incroyable et ce fut un privilège de jouer pour toi. Quinze jours après que la superstar Tom Brady a décidé de sortir de sa retraite annoncée en février, Bruce Arians, son entraîneur lors des deux dernières saisons au sein des Buccaneers, a pris la sienne mercredi, surprenant le microcosme de la NFL. «J'ai passé la plupart des 50 dernières années de ma vie sur le bord du terrain, en tant qu'entraîneur de football sous une forme ou une autre.

Une heure après que la décision d’Arians a été annoncée, Brady a eu l’envoi Instagram parfait pour lui. Les Ariens ont offert plusieurs démentis, les qualifiant tous de “taureaux—t” à un moment donné. Puis Brady n’a pas pris sa retraite le dimanche de la sélection. Le Tampa Bay Times a rapporté Brady a été informé de la décision d’Arians “soit le jour même, soit un jour après que le QB a annoncé qu’il mettait fin à sa retraite.”

The former Tampa Bay head coach had a message for his players before his retirement went public.

I look forward to connecting with many of you in person when the offseason program starts to heat up.” “I wanted to let you all know, before it becomes news in a few minutes, that I have made the decision to transition from coaching into a role in the front office helping Jason (Licht) and his staff,” Arians told his team. We couldn’t have had this great success without each of you sacrificing and buying in to what we were trying to do here.”

What actually happened may never be known, though many suspect Tom Brady's fingerprints were all over this decisions.

He battled prostate cancer in the past and has dealt with COVID, a torn Achilles and back pain. Even as recently as last week, rumors were being floated that Brady could still be dealt to the Dolphins. Arians left the NFL league meetings a day early this week, canceling previously scheduled media sessions. “Tom was kind of the key. Arians offered multiple denials, calling it all “bulls—t” at one point. What actually happened may never be known, though many suspect Tom Brady’s fingerprints were all over this decision.

Bruce Arians is stepping down after three seasons as the Buccaneers' coach and will take on a new role in the team's front office.

With Arians stepping down, 10 NFL teams -- nearly a third of the league -- will have a new head coach this upcoming season. "I am appreciative of the family and Jason Licht for having faith in me to take on this role, and to Coach Arians for his support and guidance over the past four decades," Bowles said in a statement. There's always going to be some friction between people on a staff and players and a coach. "So many head coaches come into situations where they are set up for failure, and I didn't want that for Todd. "You are an incredible man and coach, and it was a privilege to play for you," Brady wrote. Tom and I have a great relationship. Arians left owners meetings a day early and canceled his previously scheduled media availability for personal reasons. Also, the anti-tampering policy says that after March 1, clubs are under no obligation to grant permission for a coach under contract to interview. "No, moving to the front office," he said in a text message. "You are a true NFL legend and pioneer for all the work you have done to make the league more diverse and inclusive. Bowles interviewed for head-coaching vacancies on the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears this offseason. He won five playoff games with the Bucs; every other coach in franchise history won six combined.

With Byron Leftwich set to return as the team's offensive coordinator, the Buccaneers have a familiarly formidable roster and remain in place to be a contender once more even with Arians putting down the headset. "I am appreciative of the Glazer family and Jason Licht for having faith in me to take on this role, and to Coach Arians for his support and guidance over the past four decades." Most notably, the Bucs will have Brady back, as the quarterback who captained the team to the Super Bowl announced he was unretiring earlier in March. Speculation has swirled in the offseason of a supposed rift between Arians and Brady -- a notion that's likely to get some added play in light of Arians' decision to move to the front office. "This team is in a much better place than it was three years ago due to Jason's great work and the Glazer family's commitment to winning. Having previously coached the Arizona Cardinals from 2013-2017, Arians returned from a brief hiatus as a head coach in 2019 to lead the Bucs and turned the club around, concluding his three-year run with a 31-18 regular-season record and two playoff appearances that led to a 5-1 postseason mark. On behalf of all Buccaneers fans, I would like to thank Bruce for all that he has done for this franchise and our community."

“You were a huge part of the decision to join the Bucs and I’m forever grateful.” You are a true NFL legend and pioneer for all the work you have done to make the league more diverse and inclusive.” Since Tom Brady’s return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there’s been a lot of discussion about his relationship with Bruce Arians. With Arians’ announcement that he was taking an off-field role with the organization, Brady was one of the first to publicly comment on the retirement of the coach he won a Super Bowl with.

He was a tight ends coach with the New Orleans Saints before returning to college coaching, later becoming the Colts’ quarterbacks coach when Peyton Manning arrived in 1998. Arians said Brown, who joined the Buccaneers in 2020 after serving an eight-game suspension for his role in a dispute at his home and for sending threatening texts to a woman who had accused him of sexual misconduct, would be given no second chances. Arians said winning Super Bowl LV that season, his first championship as a head coach, “was really the last item I wanted to check off my career bucket list.” Arians, 69, said he began thinking about his “personal transition plan” earlier this off-season and had been in discussions for a few weeks with General Manager Jason Licht and the Glazer family, which owns the team. Brown and Arians offered differing explanations for the episode. In Arizona, he created a fellowship that paid former players who were from groups underrepresented in the coaching ranks to coach for up to two years. The Buccaneers won the Super Bowl title during the 2020 season, Arians’ second in Tampa. He told his coaching staff and players about the move on Wednesday evening after departing early from the annual N.F.L. meetings in Palm Beach, Fla. “So many head coaches come into situations where they are set up for failure, and I didn’t want that for Todd,” Arians said. Todd Bowles, the defensive coordinator and a former Jets head coach, will succeed him. “Our job as coaches is to create that next generation of coaches.” Todd Bowles, Tampa Bay’s defensive coordinator, will replace Arians as head coach.

The Bucs coach wasn't perfect, but his decision to help pave the way for Todd Bowles and many other minority coaches changed the profession for the better.

Pairing the greatest quarterback in NFL history, one who could easily return the team to a Super Bowl, with a deserving and accomplished coach of color is an intentional and significant chess move. One person intimately familiar with the inner-workings of the coach hiring business told me before this hiring cycle that they would be shocked if Bowles took a head coaching job in 2022 because, on Arians’s staff, he gets paid better than some head coaches and gets to leave work at a comfortable hour should he so desire. Recently, so many head coaches of color, be it Hue Jackson in Cleveland, Vance Joseph in Denver, David Culley in Houston, Steve Wilks in Arizona or Bowles’s previous job with the Jets (which had him cycling between Ryan Fitzpatrick, Josh McCown, Geno Smith and Christian Hackenberg) have gotten gigs that contained trap door situations at the most critical position in the sport. There are so many young coaches with developing families who quickly grow cynical of the business due to the long hours associated with working in professional football. While there are still some coaches who don’t leave the office until 2 a.m. every night and expect all their underlings to remain long after they’re gone, retiring to a sleeping bag under a basement furnace at the facility, it seems that number is dwindling. All four of his coordinators/assistant head coaches were Black. He has the most coaches of color of any team in football.

He'd then go on to make notable stops in Indianapolis where he worked as Peyton Manning's first quarterbacks coach, was the offensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers during the early days of Ben Roethlisberger, and most recently coaching Tom Brady en route to the quarterback's record seventh Super Bowl title. Naturally, the timing of this retirement from coaching will cause many to speculate that it could have something to do with Tom Brady deciding to come out of retirement himself. Bowles has been with the Buccaneers organization dating to 2019 when he was hired as the club's defensive coordinator. "I have spent most of the last 50 years of my life on the sidelines as a football coach in one form or another," Arians said in his statement released by the team. Of course, Arians instead elected to try to repeat this past season, and the Buccaneers were eliminated in the divisional round. While this comes as the latest shocker to scroll across the NFL ticker, Arians told NBC Sports and the Los Angeles Times that he began thinking about making this move at the NFL Scouting Combine a month ago.

There was a lot of speculation that Arians made the decision to retire as the Bucs' head coach due to friction between him and star quarterback Tom Brady.

Brady has not publicly addressed any reports of a troubled relationship between him and Arians, but did post on Instagram a thank-you to his coach of two years. Bowles was made aware of the decision on Monday, two days before news broke that Arians would take a step back. The Brady-Arians partnership was productive in 2020-21. Indeed, many questioned whether Brady's return hinged on Arians stepping down from the role so he could have a defensive-minded coach in Bowles. Tom and I have a great relationship. "I have no clue where it comes from," Arians said ( via ESPN). "Somebody's got to write a story every day about something.

The Super Bowl-winning coach is stepping down as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers so his longtime friend and extremely qualified defensive coordinator ...

For people who can't subscribe to Occam's razor, they'd rather believe a fairytale that goes something like this: Brady returned to Tampa under the condition Arians no longer be the head coach. I spoke with him during the 2020 season about how he wouldn't just jump at the next opportunity just to be a head coach again. He shocked the sports world when he retired just before the start of the season with a team ready-made for the Final Four, just so that he could ensure his longtime assistant, Bill Guthridge, would finally get his shot. Leaving now ensures not only that Bowles gets the job but a great job at that. That is, in part, why I believe he has made the unusual decision to retire from coaching as late as March 30. As the starting quarterback at Virginia Tech in the 1960s, he became the first white player to have a Black roommate.
