Yea, Brady definitely did not like Arians.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

That's a marked step down coaching-wise.

 

[EpochLink]

Todd Bowles back at it! Hopefully he will have better success, his Jets stint was awful at the end.

 

[GKJ]

Matt Rhule now the dean of NFC South coaches

[DaaaaB's]

I'm kind of surprised they didn't go with Leftwich as the new coach.

 

[TheAngryHank]

He pulls a Brady and comes back in 2 weeks.

 

[sigma six]

Hard to dislike the guy even when he coached a rival, always liked his straight up attitude.

 

[Terry Yake]

lol @ brady playing for todd bowles

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Love Todd Bowles, he has that "Professional football team found random guy on street, made him their head coach" look down pat.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Yeah going to echo thoughts Daaaab's here

I would have thought Leftwich would take over instead of Bowles

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Doesn't that mean a new defensive playcaller is in?

Brady basically got Bowles "fired" from ever calling defensive plays and that super dumb zero blitz ever again with a "promotion" if Bowles is a true head coach and not a coordinator with the title.

REPORT: Bucs To Name Co-Defensive Coordinators

The Bucs are expected tp promote ILBs coach Larry Foote and DL coach Kacy Rodgers to co-defensive coordinators, replacing Todd Bowles.

I don't believe the rumors such as this one. Brady had two great seasons playing for him one of which obviously resulted in a title.

Arians retired previously and came back to coach the Bucs/Jameis. He's almost 70 years old so decent chance he legitimately wants to retire and enjoy his time more.

The timing is suspect.

The timing is suspect.

Why wouldn’t this have happened few weeks ago/month ago if it was Tom related?

Bucs front office had to convince Bruce to move to front office.

They can still fire him early. The extra money is a drop in the bucket and likely a "thank you" for the Super Bowl.

Not really. Arians could have easily just retired.

Would have to think this would have been dealt earlier if Tom is the reason.

Waiting a month or so doesn’t make sense or ”fit”

Tom retired because he didn't want to deal with Arians anymore, but Bucs convinced him to come back with promise that Arians will retire.

Its all speculation but timeline makes sense imo.
