Bruce Arians' retirement last offseason turned out to be a hiatus after all.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are closing in on hiring Arians, who announced his retirement last offseason after five years with the Arizona Cardinals, as their new head coach, per multiple reports. Sources tell PFW that the Bucs' job is Arians' No. 1 preference, but we haven't yet confirmed that the Glazers have signed off on the hiring.
PFW reported exclusively last January that Arians, the winningest coach in Cardinals history, would mutually agree to part ways with the organization and take a hiatus, if not call it quits for good, rather than lead Arizona's rebuilding efforts.
