Buccaneers had informed Brady of Arians’ plans to step down

The NFL received another shock from the Buccaneers Wednesday when everyone in and out of the league learned of head coach Bruce Arians’ decision to step down from his coaching duties and move into the front office.

But that wasn’t the only surprise this evening.

Many are still pointing to a potential — yet very rumored — rift between Arians and quarterback Tom Brady. However, we are learning that Tampa Bay told Brady of Arians’ impending plans to step down upon Brady’s decision to come out of retirement.
