Even though Bruce Arians very specifically said in the weeks leading into the Super Bowl that he has no intentions of retiring a second time (or a third time, if you know what I mean), reports continued to surface even on Sunday afternoon that he was contemplating retiring if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers won, or even passing the baton on to defensive coordinator Todd Bowles.
Pro Football Talk addressed those reports shortly before kickoff, contacting sources, who confirmed that they were “100 percent BS”, and that Arians is said to have laughed at the notion that he would be stepping away under any circumstances.
