Bruce Arians has never been shy about where he grew up or his ability to connect with young, African-American players. He spent his childhood in York, Pennsylvania in predominately black neighborhoods, often being the only white guy on his sports teams. That has certainly had some influence in his coaching career. See, Arians isn’t worried about what color someone is. He just simply wants the best coaches he can assemble.
When featured on HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, Arians was asked if he purposely put so many minority coaches in prominent positions. The Bucs have minority coaches at Offensive, Defensive, and Special Teams coordinators, a minority assistant Head Coach, and two female coaches.
