Add this to the craziest, newsiest NFL offseason in modern league history: Bruce Arians, who coached the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl LV victory less than 14 months ago, is stepping aside to take a front-office role with the team effective immediately.

So much for Tampa Bay's SB chances :p

I agree with Bruce here, lots depends on where you go as a coaching candidate. Not sure the Jets job was a good measuring stick:

"I wanted to ensure when I walked away that Todd Bowles would have the best opportunity to succeed," Arians said in a statement Wednesday night. "So many head coaches come into situations where they are set up for failure, and I didn't want that for Todd."

I think Bowles has a ton of respect around the NFL.

Without a doubt, this has been of the craziest off-seasons I can remember. Wonder if this is the new norm?

I think so. I think teams have discovered that in this era of parity it takes only one or two key additions to change the fortune of your team. At QB especially. I think there's been more QBs change teams in the last couple years than in the 20 years prior.

Brady met with ownership in London just prior to his unretirement. The deal--kick Arians upstairs and he'd return. Fortunately Arians didn't make a fuss about it.

Why would he make a fuss? He was really not all in on coaching and game planning anyways =)
