Bruce Arians Lavishes Praise On Byron Leftwich, Says He’s ‘Really Upset’ He Got No Interviews For HC Jobs

Perhaps this isn’t going to be the main story when people are discussing the Super Bowl next week, but it might be worth noting who the offensive coordinator is of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers: it’s none other than former Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback Byron Leftwich, who has risen the ranks under Bruce Arians to near the top of his profession.

Arians, of course, coached Leftwich as offensive coordinator when the two were in Pittsburgh together. He first hired the quarterback as his quarterbacks coach while with the Arizona Cardinals in 2017, and then he even served as interim offensive coordinator the following season.
