OT: Bucs Hire Bruce Arians

[Jasper]

BA hires Keith Armstrong as Special Teams coach.

Temple guy

That staff is good at Bucs. If Jameis Winston puts in the same effort as Palmer and Stanton watch out!

 

[Arz101]

I don't understand dislike towards Arians for taking another job. Never will.

 

[Jasper]

I’m just mad at how we had such an incompetent staff last season.

Its like getting dumped by your girlfriend of 4 years because she sighted health issues.

We then hookup with a complete wreck for a year and breakup.

Your ex is back in the game while we drop it down a notch picking up girls still in school hoping for some fast up tempo excitement.

Yup. He should be forced to hire Amos Jones

When BA retired, I knew by his tears amd statements he was basically being forced out. He took retirement route instead of the axe. I knew there were issues between brass and BA.

When BA mentioned several times that the Browns could lure him out of retirement, my thought was if you're gonna coach it should be back here.

When Bucs hiring came out, it confirmed my suspicions of bad blood between BA and Cards brass.

Now that he's grabbing most of his previous staff, it became clear why some of the bad blood existed. BA is loyal to a fault. I think MB and SK wanted some of BA staff changed and he wouldn't.

When Cardinals are not playing Buccaneers, I will be rooting for Bruce.

Never. Screw the Bucs and every other team not named the Arizona Cardinals.

 

[Cheesebeef]

I don't get the ill will towards Bruce at all.

BASK is the past, its SK3 now baby.

I like BA and very thankful for the success he brought to us, but for some reason I don't wish him well and hope he flames out quickly in Tampa.

The biggest mistake of the BA era was not getting him a legit QBOF, or he would still be coaching and having us above 0.500. Maybe it was on BA, but I think it's on SK. Mahomes and Watson were great talents and available with just a little trade up. The time for us was perfectly right to swing the fences. It's not even hindsight because as we know both turned out to be the real deals, but the fact that everybody in the world knew we needed a young QB. And we predictably whiffed.

Anyway, let's hope KK can bring Rosen close to the guys we passed on a year before.

Did you forget that he kept the worse ST coach in history? And had no plans to get rid of him?

 

[Krangodnzr]

I liked Arians as much as you guys liked Fisher. Freak them both.

I only hate Fisher because he teaches dirty football and he's a fraud.

BA is a good football coach.

I like BA. Hope he does well except when they play us. Gave us some good years of exciting football.

 

[Kel Varnsen]

He should be a fascinating pairing with Jameis

And if they add Le’Veon....

 

[cardncubfan]

I wanted Mahomes so bad last year. I thought he would be the perfect pairing with BA.

 

[clif]

I can’t help but think BA should still be coaching this team. I’m okay with KK, but obviously it’s a wait and see thing. BA in Tampa really sucks.

Speaking of... rumors that BA and Licht will try to get Matthieu this offseason.

He signed a one year contract so he will be a free agent.

No. But that's not reason enough for me to hate a guy who gave us more entertaining W's and at least watchable football for five straight years.

I expected that as soon as I saw him as a FA.
