Bruce Arians has enjoyed some of his most successful years in football since he was fired by the Steelers following the 2011 season. He became the interim coach in Indianapolis when Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with cancer and used that as a springboard to his first NFL head coaching job with Arizona, where he has the Cardinals in annual contention for the Super Bowl.
But no matter how much Arians succeeds out west his departure from the Steelers is a story that just won’t die.
HBO’s Real Sports will air a piece on Arians June 21 and in it Arians and his wife, Chris, speak candidly about his unceremonious exit.
