Bruce Arians Reportedly Buccaneers' Focus for New HC Amid Jim Caldwell Buzz

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are reportedly "focusing on hiring" Bruce Arians as their new head coach, and the "strong interest is mutual," according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Per Rapoport, "Negotiations are likely to begin soon."

The news comes shortly after Jenna Laine of ESPN reported the team has also shown interest in Jim Caldwell:

For those asking...no news on the Bucs’ coaching front as far as Bruce Arians. But interestingly (and this corroborates something @AlbertBreer reported) — I’m told that there has been a push for Jim Caldwell, although he was not among the Bucs’ reported list of interviews.
