TEMPE, Ariz. -- Chris Arians was brutally up front with her husband, Bruce, then the Arizona Cardinals head coach, late in the 2017 season.
Bruce was in his fifth year running the Cardinals and closing in on the franchise record of 50 wins, but after multiple incidents with his health, Chris had had enough. She was moving to their forever home on a lake in rural Georgia, whether he liked it or not.
"I looked at him and I said to him, 'Let me tell you something, honey. I'm ready to retire. So, I'll go to Georgia and retire and you can come visit me when you want,'" Chris said.
