He replied, “Well, yeah, I think for me, being an interim head coach for 12 games, there are two things I’ve learned – be yourself and delegate and I don’t think you can find a player in Arizona, hopefully, that’ll ever say I ‘bullshit em’. There’s not going to be a player here.”
“Sometimes they don’t like the truth but I’m going to give you the truth and you know, it’ll hurt for a minute but it’s real. So don’t come asking me a question and expect me to sugarcoat it because you’re going to get a real answer and I think our guys appreciate that,” Arians said while talking to the press.
