Coaching profile atPro Football Reference

Bruce Charles Arians (born October 3, 1952) is an Americanfootball executive and former coach in theNational Football League (NFL). Since 2022, he has been a senior football consultant for theTampa Bay Buccaneers. Arians was previously thehead coach of theTemple Owls from 1983 to 1987, theArizona Cardinals from 2013 to 2017 and the Buccaneers from 2019 to 2021. He was also the interim head coach of theIndianapolis Colts during the 2012 season. Arians is known as a "quarterback whisperer" with a "no risk-it, no biscuit" slogan, which encourages aggressive playcalling. Under Arians's coaching, several high-profile quarterbacks were named to theAll-Pro team orPro Bowl, includingPeyton Manning,Ben Roethlisberger,Andrew Luck,Carson Palmer, andTom Brady.

An offensive assistant for most of his career, Arians helped thePittsburgh Steelers winSuper Bowl XL as their wide receivers coach and thenSuper Bowl XLIII as their offensive coordinator. While previously serving as head coach at Temple, Arians had his first NFL head coaching experience at age 59 when Colts head coachChuck Pagano was treated forleukemia. Originally hired as their offensive coordinator, Arians became the Colts' interim head coach for 12 weeks, guiding a team that went 2–14 the previous season to a 9–3 record and earning them a playoff berth. He was namedAP NFL Coach of the Year for the season and was the first interim head coach to receive the honor.

His success in Indianapolis led to Arians getting hired as an NFL head coach for the first time at age 60, serving the position for five seasons with the Cardinals. During his tenure in Arizona, Arians led the team to two postseason runs, a division title, and anNFC Championship Game appearance in 2015. He received a second Coach of the Year award after the 2014 season, and retired after 2017 as the Cardinals' winningest head coach. Arians then came out of retirement in 2019 to coach the Buccaneers. He led the team to their first postseason appearance since 2007 during the 2020 season, culminating with a victory inSuper Bowl LV. At age 68, he was the oldest head coach to win a Super Bowl. After guiding the Buccaneers to a division title and another postseason appearance in the 2021 season, Arians retired from coaching again and became a consultant with Tampa Bay.

Early life

[edit]

A native ofPaterson, New Jersey,[1] Arians graduated fromWilliam Penn Senior High School inYork, Pennsylvania.[2] He previously attended York Catholic High School,[3] where he was a standout scholastic quarterback.

Playing career

[edit]
Arians at Virginia Tech,c. 1972

Arians playedcollege football atVirginia Tech inBlacksburg, Virginia.[4][5] As a senior in1974, he was the startingquarterback in awishbone offense for theindependentHokies, and completed 53 of 118 passes (44.9%) for 952 yards with three passing touchdowns and seven interceptions.[6] Arians rushed for 243 yards and eleven touchdowns,[7] which set a school record for most quarterback rushing touchdowns in a season;[8] it stood for 42 years, until broken byJerod Evans in2016.[9] He was also the first white player to share a dorm room with a black player in school history; his roommate was James Barber, father ofRonde andTiki Barber.[10] The two were given the nickname "Salt and Pepper".[11]

Coaching career

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

Arians began his coaching career in 1975 as a graduate assistant at Virginia Tech.[12] Arians then held an assistant coaching position atMississippi State University (running backs and wide receivers) from 1978 to 1980 before heading to theUniversity of Alabama to coach the running backs from 1981 to 1982 underPaul "Bear" Bryant.[13][14]

Arians was also the head coach atTemple University from 1983 to 1988.[15] While head coach for the Owls, he compiled a 27–39 overall record over six seasons.[16] He had two winning records on the field, in 1984 and 1986; the Owls finished 6–5 both seasons. However, all of the 1986 wins were later forfeited after it emerged that running backPaul Palmer, who was the runner-up in theHeisman Trophy voting in 1986,[17] had signed with a sports agent before the season.[18] Besides Palmer, other standout players Arians coached at Temple included cornerbackKevin Ross, safetyTodd Bowles, and running backTodd McNair. Ross, Bowles, and McNair all later served as NFL assistant coaches with or under Arians.[19]

At the end of the Temple football season in 1988, Arians was hired in the NFL as arunning backs coach for theKansas City Chiefs underMarty Schottenheimer. It was during this time with the Chiefs that he worked with the coach who eventually brought him to the Pittsburgh Steelers,Bill Cowher.[20] He held positions with Mississippi State (offensive coordinator, 1993–95),New Orleans Saints (tight ends, 1996), and Alabama (offensive coordinator, 1997) following this.[13][21][22]

Indianapolis Colts (1998–2000)

[edit]

Following this stint was when he made a name for himself when he got the job as the quarterbacks coach of theIndianapolis Colts underJim E. Mora in 1998. He was the firstquarterback coach ofPeyton Manning when the latter arrived in the NFL.[23] Arians spent three years with the team, guiding Manning and helping him gain confidence through his early seasons.[24]

Cleveland Browns (2001–2003)

[edit]

Afterward, he was hired as offensive coordinator for theCleveland Browns underButch Davis.[25] In 2002, he helped the Browns finish 9–7 (2nd in the newly aligned AFC North) and to aWild Card Round berth where they lost to thePittsburgh Steelers (36–33).[26] It was during his tenure with the Browns that he first worked withChuck Pagano who served as the Browns secondary coach and eventually brought Arians back to the Indianapolis Colts.[27]

Pittsburgh Steelers (2004–2011)

[edit]

After the 2003 season, Arians was hired by Steelers head coach Cowher as wide receivers coach, helping the team in winningSuper Bowl XL.[28] In 2007 he was promoted tooffensive coordinator, and later wonSuper Bowl XLIII.[29] In addition to coaching quarterbackBen Roethlisberger, Arians also became acquainted with former first round draft pickByron Leftwich, who backed up Roethlisberger and was later hired as one of Arians's prominent assistant coaches.[30]

Despite his success in Pittsburgh, he had his fair share of critics. He was a gambling man who liked to take big risks that didn't sit well with fans. For instance, on a 3rd & 1, instead of running the ball or making a short quick pass, he wanted to air it out downfield. According to Arians, "I got booed in the Super Bowl parade. I look over and I hear 'get a fullback', and I say 'never'." In Arians's offense the quarterback is often exposed: Roethlisberger took a high number of sacks every year and it left the Steelers front office unhappy. This led the front office to not renew Arians's contract as offensive coordinator when it expired after the 2011 season.[31] Arians initially announced his retirement from coaching after not being offered a contract.[32]

Indianapolis Colts (second stint) (2012)

[edit]

On January 28, 2012, shortly after his supposed retirement, Arians was hired by newIndianapolis Colts head coach Pagano to become his offensive coordinator, replacingClyde Christensen.[33] It was his second stint with the franchise, having previously served as the quarterbacks' coach for the Colts from 1998 to 2000. He was briefly reunited with Manning until the latter's release 2 months later. The2012 season marked the arrival of new rookie quarterbackAndrew Luck to the Colts, who Arians was tasked with developing.[34]

On October 1, 2012, Arians was named the interim head coach of the Colts following Pagano's leukemia diagnosis.[35] Arians led the Colts to a 9–3 record, part of one of the biggest one-season turnarounds in NFL history. The nine wins are the most by an interim head coach in NFL history.[36] After winning only two games in 2011, the Colts returned to the playoffs. Pagano returned to the Colts as head coach on December 24, 2012, with Arians returning to his role as offensive coordinator.[37] Arians missed the Colts'Wild Card Round loss against theBaltimore Ravens due to being hospitalized with an illness, which was described by doctors as aninner ear infection or a virus; Arians had missed practice on January 3 due to the flu.[38] Arians was named the 2012AP Coach of the Year, making him the first interim head coach to win the award.[39]

Arizona Cardinals (2013–2017)

[edit]

On January 17, 2013, theArizona Cardinals and Arians agreed on a 4-year deal that made Arians their 40th head coach, succeedingKen Whisenhunt.[40] A few months later, the Cardinals traded for quarterbackCarson Palmer from theOakland Raiders to pair him with the team's star wide receiverLarry Fitzgerald.[41][42] Arians began his rookie head coaching year 3–4, but led the Cardinals to win seven of their last nine games to end the2013 season with a 10–6 record.[43] This doubled the amount of wins from the 5–11 record the team had posted the year before. Arians was the first Cardinals head coach sinceNorm Barry in1925 to record at least nine wins in his first season.[44]

The Cardinals finished the2014 season with an 11–5 record and were the #5 seed in the NFC.[45][46] The 11 wins tied a Cardinals franchise record for most wins in a season.[47] Arians led the Cardinals to a 9–1 start, best in the NFL, but injuries to Palmer (who was 6–0 as the starter) and backupDrew Stanton, (who was 5–3 as starter) led to the eventual NFC championSeattle Seahawks claiming the divisional title with a 12–4 record.[46] Roughly half the team was put on injured reserve between Week 8 and Week 17.[48] The injury plagued Cardinals withRyan Lindley starting at quarterback were eliminated by theCarolina Panthers in theWild Card Round, 27–16.[49] Following the season, Arians was named Associated Press Head Coach of the Year for the second time in three seasons.[50]

On February 23, 2015, the Cardinals announced a new four-year deal with Arians which kept him with the Cardinals through the 2018 season.[51] After starting 3–0 for a second consecutive season, Arians led the Cardinals to a 13–3 record for the2015 season, setting a new franchise record for regular season wins.[52] A week 15 win against thePhiladelphia Eagles onSunday Night Football saw the Cardinals win their NFC West title since 2009, clinching a postseason appearance in the process.[53] The Cardinals defeated theGreen Bay Packers 26–20 in overtime in theDivisional Round, Arians's first playoff win as a head coach.[54] It was also only the fifth home playoff game in franchise history.[55] The next Sunday, in theNFC Championship, the Cardinals were defeated again by theCarolina Panthers, this time in a 49–15 blowout.[56]

Arians in 2016

Arians did not lead the Cardinals to another winning record or postseason appearance in his final two years in Arizona. In the2016 season, Arians led the Cardinals to a 7–8–1 record, with five of the losses within one possession.[57][58] During the2017 season, Arians led the Cardinals to an 8–8 record, again missing the playoffs. The season finale against theSeattle Seahawks onNew Year's Eve was Arians's final game with the Cardinals. The 26–24 away win marked Arians's 50th and final career win with the Cardinals, surpassing Whisenhunt as the franchise's winningest head coach.[59]

The next day, Arians announced his retirement from coaching after five seasons with the Cardinals, despite having a year left on his contract. He said in his retirement statement: "I always told Carson [Palmer] and future Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald that we were like three old gunfighters looking to go out in a blaze of glory with a Super Bowl win. It pains me that I couldn't help them accomplish our goal."[60] Arians finished his tenure in Arizona with a 49–30–1 (.614) regular season record and a pair of playoff appearances, where he had a 1–2 (.333) record.[61][62] He was succeeded bySteve Wilks.[63]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2019–2021)

[edit]

After spending one season as a broadcaster, Arians agreed to terms on a four-year contract to come out of retirement and became the 12th head coach of theTampa Bay Buccaneers on January 8, 2019, succeedingDirk Koetter.[64] As Arians was still under contract with the Cardinals, Tampa Bay traded their sixth round pick for Arizona's seventh-round pick in the2019 NFL draft in order to receive Arians's rights to hire him.[65]

Arians assembled the largest coaching staff in the NFL for the2019 season, at a total of 28 assistants.[66] Arians stated in the offseason for the Buccaneers that he could win with the team he had, and also put his faith inJameis Winston, saying: "I think with (quarterbacks coach)Clyde Christensen and (offensive coordinator)Byron Leftwich, he's in great hands."[67] He also made it known one of his intentions was fixing the defensive secondary, which the year before had surrendered a league worst passer rating (110.9), yards per attempt (8.2) and completion percentage (72.5).[68] In his first year with the team, Arians led the Buccaneers to a 7–9 record, finishing third in the NFC South.[69][70]

Before the2020 season, the Buccaneers signed longtimeNew England Patriots quarterbackTom Brady to a two-year contract on March 20, 2020. They traded for Brady's former teammate and former Patriots tight endRob Gronkowski on April 21, 2020, and he came out of retirement to play for the Buccaneers with Brady.[71][72][73] Arians led the Buccaneers to an 11–5 record, earning a Wild Card spot - their first playoff berth since2007.[74] After winning three straight road games against theWashington Football Team,New Orleans Saints, andGreen Bay Packers, the Buccaneers reached their secondSuper Bowl appearance inSuper Bowl LV.[75] The playoff victories were the Buccaneers' first since the 2002 season when they wonSuper Bowl XXXVII, and Arians was the first head coach to lead an NFL team to play and win a Super Bowl in their home stadium when they defeated theKansas City Chiefs 31–9 in the Super Bowl.[76][77][78]

During the2021 season, the Buccaneers won their NFC South title since 2007 with a 13–4 record.[79] One notable game during the season involved Brady returning to New England to lead the Buccaneers to a19–17 victory against his former team.[80] In the playoffs, the Buccaneers defeated thePhiladelphia Eagles in theWild Card Round, but lost to the eventualSuper Bowl LVI championLos Angeles Rams during theDivisional Round in what was Arians's final game as an NFL head coach.[81][82]

On March 30, 2022, Arians informed his staff that he was stepping down from the head coach position and would be succeeded by Buccaneers defensive coordinatorTodd Bowles.[83][84] Arians had always planned on having Bowles succeed him as head coach when he eventually retired, and stated that Brady announcing his return for the2022 season played a role in accelerating his decision as it ensured that Bowles would have the benefit of a great quarterback on the roster and that continuity would exist amongst the coaching staff.[85]

In three years with the Buccaneers, Arians amassed a 31–18 (.633) regular season record and a 5–1 (.833) postseason record. During this period, Tampa Bay led the NFL in points scored (29.8 per game), passing yards (300.0 per game), passing touchdowns (118), completions (1,284), and passing first downs (755). They also ranked third in total yards (396.2 per game), fourth in first downs (22.9 per game), and seventh in sacks allowed (92).[86] For his contributions to the franchise, Arians was the 14th inductee into theTampa Bay Buccaneers Ring of Honor on January 1, 2023.[87]

Executive career

[edit]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2022–present)

[edit]

Arians remained with theTampa Bay Buccaneers organization after stepping down as their head coach. He joined their front office as Senior Football Consultant.[83] During the2022 season, the NFL sent Arians a warning due to his actions in a Week 2 matchup against theNew Orleans Saints. Despite no longer being a coach, Arians was seen on the sideline during the game, and became very animated towards the referees when Saints cornerbackMarshon Lattimore was not called for pass interference on a pass to Bucs wide receiverScotty Miller. As an executive, Arians was not meant to be on the field, but new head coachTodd Bowles mentioned that Arians was only on the sideline because the Saints had not provided him and general managerJason Licht a personal booth. The NFL warned that similar conduct in the future resulted in discipline for Arians and the club.[88]

Following the season, several of the Buccaneers coaching staff that Arians had hired were not retained, including offensive coordinatorByron Leftwich; Arians was said to be "extremely unhappy" with these changes. It was also reported that Arians's contract had expired after the season, leaving him free to leave the Buccaneers.[89] However, Arians remained with the organization, even publicly endorsing Bowles and Licht to remain as the Buccaneers's respective head coach and general manager after the2025 season despite finishing outside the playoffs with an 8–9 record.[90]

Broadcast and media career

[edit]

On May 3, 2018, Arians joinedCBS Sports as a game analyst for theNFL on CBS for the2018 season, working withGreg Gumbel andTrent Green.[91] He left the role after returning to the NFL as head coach of theTampa Bay Buccaneers.[64]

During the2025 NFL season, Arians joinedThe Pat McAfee Show as a recurring guest every Tuesday to discuss league developments.[92]

Coaching philosophy

[edit]

"No risk-it, no biscuit"

[edit]

Arians's coaching philosophy can be summed up with one phrase: "No risk it, no biscuit. You can't live scared." His former quarterback in Arizona,Carson Palmer, says, "You play for him, you see he just has guts. He will let it rip, let it fly no matter what."[31] Arians first developed this philosophy when the old-timers at the bar he worked at in college told him, "In life you must take risks." During games, Arians always gave the quarterback at least two options based on how the defense lines up. Arians stated: "One option will give us a chance to make a first down and the other option will give us a chance to score a touchdown." All his quarterbacks must believe, "If I have the right match up and the opportunity is there to take a shot at the deep ball, take it. I don't care if it's a third-and-three; if our best receiver is in single coverage and he's running a deeppost route, throw him the goddamn ball."[93] One thing Arians cannot stand is when coaches play not to lose. He considers conservative coaching to be a cardinal sin. In his book, Arians writes, "That's not my way, brother. I'll never be too afraid to throw it and take the heat if it's incomplete. My job as an offensive coach is not to allow our defense to retake the field. Run out the clock and kneel down—that's my job."[93]

Quarterback development and team relationships

[edit]

Arians has an image of what the perfect NFL quarterback looks like. In his book, Arians wrote: "It's something you cannot see. He must have a big lion's heart, a heart that beats for an entire franchise." He says the heart is exhibited when a quarterback plays through pain, when he smashes into a 320-pound defensive linemen on third down to gain six extra inches for the first down. Or when he throws a pick and runs forty yards down field to make a tackle. What he calls "grit" is a must-have ability to make the dozens of decisions that need to be made in the twenty-five seconds the quarterback walks on the line of scrimmage and scans the defense to when the play is over. On the practice field, Arians is known to spend most of the time with his quarterbacks reviewing what transpires during the three to four seconds of a basic pass play. Arians believes the first thing the quarterback has to understand is his protection, since the defense can always blitz one more guy than your linemen can block. Because of this, the quarterback has to look and read what will be coming from the opposing defense.[93]

A primary reason Arians is known as a "quarterback whisperer" is the special relationship he has had with all of his quarterbacks as well as the production he has gotten out of them.[24] While being a caring coach, Arians is also known to be hard on his quarterbacks. WhenPeyton Manning had a bad game the first time he faced New England his rookie year with Indianapolis—he threw three interceptions midway through the fourth quarter of the game—he was so frustrated he begged Arians, who at the time was the team's quarterback coach, to be pulled. Arians responded by saying: "F--k no. Get back in there. We'll go no-huddle, and maybe you'll learn something."[24] AfterTom Brady's first game with Tampa Bay, Arians publicly talked about his quarterback's mistakes with the media, which surprised some despite it being consistent with how Arians has coached in the past. While Arians has this hard style of coaching, his former quarterbacks have always had the utmost respect for Arians and attribute him as a big factor in their success.[94]

Arians is known to socialize with players more than most NFL coaches. After Cardinals home games, he was known to pull his car up. The trunk would be open, and Arians would be handing out drinks to his players. Arians writes: "If a player had a bad game, I'm going to give him a beer and a big sincere hug. If a player had a great game, I'm going to give him a beer and a big sincere hug."[93] Arians particularly becomes close with his quarterbacks, not only to know what makes them tick, but also because he genuinely enjoyed the connections. "My quarterbacks have to be a member of my family, and that has nothing to do with football," Arians says. "Trust is everything. We have to connect on a deep level in order to really be able to build something together. Trust brings a higher level of communication and a higher level of commitment and accountability. We have to care for one another. It's all about family, family, family."[24] Several of his former quarterbacks, including Palmer, Manning,Ben Roethlisberger,Andrew Luck, andDrew Stanton were noted in having close relationships with not only Arians but with his family members as well.[94]

Diversity and staffing practices

[edit]

When joining Tampa Bay, Arians immediately built a diverse staff. He stated this practice was inspired by his feeling overlooked throughout his career, having not received his first head coaching opportunity until the age of 60 despite winning two Super Bowls as an assistant. With Tampa Bay, Arians hired African-Americans at every top coaching position:Byron Leftwich as offensive coordinator,Todd Bowles as defensive coordinator,Keith Armstrong as special teams coordinator, andHarold Goodwin as assistant head coach and run-game coordinator. He also hired two female assistant coaches to the Buccaneers staff:Lori Locust as assistant defensive line coach and Maral Javadifar as assistant strength and conditioning coach/physical therapist. Arians has stated that having a diverse staff provides better output during team meetings, allowing players and staff to better learn from one another.[95]

His decision to step down as head coach of the Buccaneers and have Bowles succeed him drew praise for providing a head coaching opportunity that was set up for success to an African-American coach, anongoing issue in the NFL.[11][96] It also showcased Arians's loyalty to Bowles, who had coached with him on theCleveland Browns and also served as Arians's defensive coordinator with the Cardinals. When asked if his retirement would lessen his chances of entering thePro Football Hall of Fame, Arians responded "I don't give a shit about the Hall of Fame. Succession is way more important to me. This has been my dream for a long time. Guys that know me, they knew I wanted one of my guys to take over. And that's more important to me than anything."[97]

Arians also stressed the importance of family and parenting to his coaching staff, telling them during his first meeting in Tampa Bay that he would fire them if they missed their child's ball game or recital. Many NFL head coaches required their assistants to work long hours with strict rules on leaving the office;Marty Schottenheimer, who Arians once worked for, held this practice. However, Arians stressed that their children would not be there forever, and eventually grow up and leave the household. He wanted his assistants to be present for their children during their formative years.[98]

Personal life

[edit]

Arians and his wife, Christine, run a charity called The Arians Family Foundation, which supports and develops programs to prevent and remedy the abuse and neglect of children.[99] The Arians Family Foundation supports the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program.[100]

A lifelong advocate forracial inclusion and againstdiscrimination, Arians commented on themurder of George Floyd and theensuing protests: "It's very disheartening [...] personally, you would hope that we would not be in 2020 still dealing with these issues. You would hope as a nation to have grown since 1968. I think we have, but not enough, obviously."[101]

Arians is aprostate cancer survivor.[102] He and his wife have a son,Jake (born January 26, 1978), who spent part of the 2001 season as the placekicker for theBuffalo Bills, and a daughter, Kristi Anne (born December 15, 1980).[103][104] They currently maintain residences inTampa, Florida, and onLake Oconee inGreensboro, Georgia.[105] Arians was also diagnosed withkidney cancer towards the end of 2016 but continued to coach the Cardinals. He was treated for surgery following the end of the season and returned to the coaching sideline in 2017, saying he was cancer-free and "feeling great".[106]

In 2017, Arians released a book,The Quarterback Whisperer: How to Build an Elite NFL Quarterback.[107]

On January 31, 2026, Arians stated onToday that he would be undergoing open-heart surgery.[108]
