This offseason has seen some of the craziest drama ever in NFL history. The latest news that took the league by storm was that of Bruce Arians, head coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers retiring.

Earlier, the Bucs suffered a massive blow when Tom Brady announced his retirement from football after 22 legendary seasons. Now that he’s back, Arians has decided to let go of his coaching responsibilities.

Nick Wright on First Things First extended his support towards Bruce Arians and opined that it was Tom Brady who forced him out of Tampa Bay. “Of course, that’s what happened,” Wright said. “Tom Brady clearly forced him out. I desperately yearned for things to makes sense. The whole Brady 38-day retirement never made sense.”

There were reports after Brady retired that he would join the San Francisco 49ers in 2022. Some reports suggested that the 44-year old QB was joining the Miami Dolphins in a management role. Now, even Brady going across the pond to watch the Man United football game, a team owned by the Glazer family makes sense. The 7x Super Bowl champs probably said that he would return only if the current coaching situation in Tampa Bay would change.

There were rumors of a rift between Brady and Arians but those rumors were squashed by both of them stating that they shared a healthy relationship. Nick Wright applauded Arians for his coaching ability. He said that along with the Super Bowl victory, Bruce Arians will be remembered for being the only white guy with the most diversity in his coaching staff.

“Clearly Brady was not caught off guard by this and in fact had a hand in it,” Wright concluded. Now that Arians has been forced out, Todd Bowles, defensive coordinator for the Bucs, has been appointed as the new head coach.
