Bruce Arians made it clear that he will be back in 2021. If he had lost offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich to a technical position elsewhere, that might not have been the case.
Appears on Thursday The herd, The Aryans said he would consider retiring only if he had to call up offensive moves again.
“If I lost Byron or Todd [Bowles], I would have to think about [quitting] why not losing any coach this year makes next year then much easier and much easier to repeat, ”said Arians. “But as soon as you start deleting your technical team, I don’t want to call the shots again. And Byron is still the only guy I trust to do that now. And I would have to think hard if I wanted to lose it. “
While the failure of any team to interview Leftwich for a position as head coach has facilitated the Arians’ return, things can get interesting after the next season. If Leftwich starts to receive interest as a head coach, the Bucs could end up losing both Leftwich and Arians if someone else hires Leftwich and Arians then retires.
The best plan for the Bucs, then, could be to promise Leftwich a job whenever the Aryans retire. Before Tom Brady agreed to extend his contract beyond 2021, he could insist on such a deal.
