In the latest stunning development from the NFL, Bruce Arians is stepping down as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Per Peter King of NBC Sports and Sam Farmer of the Los Angeles Times, Arians is retiring from coaching to take a job in Tampa Bay's front office. Todd Bowles, who has been the Bucs' defensive coordinator since 2019, will take over as head coach.
Speaking to King and Farmer on a phone call, Arians said Tom Brady's choice to come back was the "perfect timing" for him to step away from coaching.
