“Congratulations on an Amazing Coaching Career”: Tom Brady Bids Bruce Arians Good Bye Amid Rift Rumors

One legend returned and another one left. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians has stepped down from his position and will take on a new role. It was shocking for the players and Bucs fans around the world. But nobody was more heartfelt than the legendary quarterback Tom Brady. 

Brady was the first to go earlier this year, but he chose to overrule his own decision and return to the field. The QB was looking forward to taking the franchise to another Super Bowl victory under the guidance of Arians. But that would not be the case. The GOAT wrote a touching message for his former head coach and said a tough goodbye.

“Thank you, [Bruce Arians] for all that you have done for me and our team,” Tom Brady wrote on Instagram. The GOAT joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. It was crazy.

He found himself in a new town, and it was Bruce Arians who helped him adjust.

“You are an incredible man and coach, and it was a privilege to play for you. You are a true NFL legend and pioneer for all the work you have done to make the league more diverse and inclusive.” Brady added to his post. Then the GOAT went on to talk about the coach’s toughness, smarts, and loyalty to the club. The QB said he would never forget the conversations they had when he was new to Tampa. Everyone benefited from the guidance and leadership of Arians. 

Brady closed his statement by writing, “I’m so happy you will spend the much-deserved time with your loving and supportive family that has given so much to our communities. Congratulations on an amazing coaching career, but more importantly, how you positively impacted me and everyone else in the game of football.”  

With Bruce Arians stepping down, Buccaneers’ defensive coordinator Todd Bowles will become his successor. Arians will take on the role of senior consultant for football. Fans and players will miss playing under their former head coach, but they cannot deny the talents and skills of Bowles. The Buccaneers are still going after the Super Bowl this season, and their new HC is the perfect man for the job.
