TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians, aka the QB whisperer, joining forces with Tom Brady, aka the GOAT, was arguably the biggest offseason story. The Bucs, hardly a blip on the national radar since they won the Super Bowl in 2002, managed to lure the six-time Super Bowl winner to the land of palm trees and perpetual losing, with what had been the NFL’s second-longest playoff drought at 13 seasons.
Many wondered how the Arians-Brady marriage would work, with the 68-year-old coach and 43-year-old signal-caller bringing two vastly different styles of play -- and two different personalities.
