NFL Offseason - Surprising news out of Tampa today as Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians has announced his retirement. Defensive coordinator Todd Bowles has been promoted to head coach. Peter King of NBC Sports had the news first.
Arians, 69, will stick with the Bucs as a "senior consultant for football." He finishes with a 31-18 record in three years with Tampa Bay, including a Super Bowl win in 2020. His .633 winning percentage and five playoff wins are both franchise records. He had previously gone 49-30-1 in five years as head coach for Arizona (the 49 wins are also a franchise record) and 9-3 as an interim head coach with the Colts in 2012, filling in for Chuck Pagano, who was out with an illness.
