The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have talent up and down the roster on both sides of the ball, but paper champions don’t win Lombardi Trophies. It’ll be up to head coach Bruce Arians to turn this team into a cohesive unit, and with the coronavirus pandemic making this offseason an unconventional one, the team will rely even more so on Arians to guide them.
Fortunately, the two-time NFL Coach of the Year seems up to the challenge of turning around the Bucs in 2020. Arians helped return the Arizona Cardinals to prominence during his five-year tenure from 2013-2017, even helping the Cards reach the NFC Championship Game following the 2015 regular season.
With Tom Brady now his quarterback, Arians seems poised to make another run at a championship, and NFL analyst Nate Burleson named Arians as a head coach he feels has the best chance of winning his first Super Bowl in 2020.
Per Burleson:
“Arians has to be thrilled with the offseason his Tampa Bay Buccaneers have experienced, especially after winning the Tom Brady sweepstakes in March. The Bucs now boast the sport’s ultimate winner at quarterback (Brady has SIX Lombardis) — and given the fact that Brady has the Michael Jordan effect, every player on that roster will play better. Brady has already rallied some of his new teammates for workouts.”
Burleson also liked the chances of Bills head coach Sean McDermott, but it’s hard to ignore what Brady brings to the table. It’ll be interesting to see how this Arians-Brady offense will look, but you can be sure it’ll be capable of dropping a lot of points on opposing defenses.
