Bruce Arians ‘Hurt’ by Buccaneers’ Firings After Playoff Loss, per Report

Just three days after the Buccaneers lost to the Cowboys in the wild-card round, the team announced that they had fired six offensive assistant coaches including offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and three others had retired. Evidently, former coach Bruce Arians was not happy with the move.

During an appearance on WDAE Radio this week, the Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reported that Arians was, “Not happy. Very unhappy. Extremely unhappy.”

“Having had some interaction with him about it. . . he’s disappointed. You know, he’s disappointed,” Stroud said, per JoeBucsFan.
