The Sheriff is back.
Bruce Arians retired at the end of the 2017 NFL season after five years with the Arizona Cardinals, taking the team to two playoff appearances, three ten-win seasons, and an NFC Championship Game appearance. He spent 2018 in the broadcast booth with the NFL on CBS, but now he’s returning to the sidelines in 2019 as the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Buccaneers now finalizing deal to make Bruce Arians their next head coach, per sources. The former Cardinals’ HC will be the Bucs next HC.

The Buccaneers went 5-11 this season despite starting the year with wins over the New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles, and Dirk Koetter was fired.
