ESPN staff writer Jenna Laine published an article this morning, detailing interactions with the offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Byron Leftwich. New head coach Bruce Arians has pegged Leftwich as “a rising star in this business” (Arians via ESPN).
Arians has an impressive coaching tree that has blossomed out new Cleveland Browns’ head coach Freddie Kitchens and their quarterback coach Ryan Lindley, who has raised the rankings quickly as well. Todd Bowles, now the Buccaneers’ defensive coordinator landed his gig in New York with the Jets after coaching under Arians as well.
