Bruce Arians Is the New Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach Bruce Arians is the New Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach Author : Scott DelleFave Former Arizona Cardinals Head Coach and current CBS Broadcaster, Bruce Arians is going to have some waterfront property as he will be taking over the reigns for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Arians a Patterson, New Jersey native has had an extensive coaching career that started back in 1975 at Virginia Tech as a graduate assistant. In 1983, he received his first head coaching job where he took over at Temple University and he was there until 1988 with a less than stellar record of 27-39. After being let go at Temple, he would bounce around between the NFL and NCAA teams until his biggest break when he was the offensive coordinator of the Indianapolis Colts, as he was named interim head coach on October 1st, 2012 as Chuck Pagano began treatments for Leukemia. Arians turned the team around with a 9-3 record filling in and led the Colts to the playoffs clinching the #5 seed, however they lost in wild card round to the Baltimore Ravens. With the 9-3 record, Arians became the first coach on an interim basis to be named NFL Coach of the Year. After that season, he took his talents to the desert, where he would be named the new Arizona Cardinals head coach in January 2013. Arians enjoyed early success with the Cardinals, making the playoffs in two of the first three seasons with the club having a combined 34-14 record and making the NFC Championship game in his third season, with 1 / 2 being named coach of the year again for the 2014-2015 season. After catching fire his first two seasons, under his command the Cardinals went 15-16-1 and missed the playoffs in his last two seasons and after the 2017 season, Arians decided to retire from coaching. On May 3rd, 2018, Arians was hired by CBS to be a game analyst, replacing Steve Tasker, and was partnered with Greg Gumbel and Trent Green. Bruce Arians, along with his wife Christine started The Arians Family Foundation, which supports and develops programs to prevent and ameliorate the abuse and neglect of children. All and all, Bruce Arians is inheriting a fairly solid team that should rebound under his leadership and compete inthe NFC South sooner than later. 2 / 2 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

  • Vance Joseph to Return As Broncos' Head Coach in 2018
    Vance Joseph to return as Broncos’ head coach in 2018 By Nicki Jhabvala Denver Post January 2, 2018 Despite a 5-11 season, eight defeats by double digits and a playoffless finish, the Broncos will retain coach Vance Joseph for next season, giving him a chance “to fix it,” just as he had hoped. Joseph met with John Elway early Monday to learn of the general manager’s decision and to mull changes to the coaching staff, which included the departure of six assistants. “Vance and I had a great talk this morning about our plan to attack this offseason and get better as a team,” Elway tweeted Monday morning. “We believe in Vance as our head coach. Together, we’ll put in the work to improve in all areas and win in 2018. “To all our fans: THANK YOU for your tremendous support and sticking with us through a tough year. This wasn’t the season anyone expected, but we’ll learn from it and be better because of it. Our 2018 season starts today.” In keeping Joseph for 2018, Elway spared the Broncos of a fourth head coaching change in five years and provided a significant cost savings. Had Joseph left, the Broncos could have had to pay the remaining salaries of most of two coaching staffs. Joseph was hired last January after the resignation of Gary Kubiak and was immediately labeled “a leader of men” because of his ability to relate to players on both sides of the ball, and to work well with fellow coaches. The Broncos had tried to bring in Joseph as defensive coordinator in 2015, but the Cincinnati Bengals refused to release him from his contract.

  • Former Titans Head Coach Mike Munchak Brings 37 Years of NFL Experience As Broncos Candidate by Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post Jan
    Former Titans head coach Mike Munchak brings 37 years of NFL experience as Broncos candidate By Ryan O’Halloran Denver Post Jan. 5, 2019 Consecutive wins to end the 2013 season allowed the Tennessee Titans to finish 7-9 under third-year coach Mike Munchak. Many believed he would be fired. Ultimately Munchak was dismissed but not until he turned down a contract extension and raise in salary when he refused to fire multiple assistant coaches. Fast forward to Friday, when Munchak, 58, was at the Broncos’ facility interviewing with general manager John Elway, president/CEO Joe Ellis and others for the opening created by Vance Joseph’s firing on Monday. Munchak’s loyalty is to be applauded, but the formation of his potential coaching staff should be a major topic of discussion. Munchak is the third known candidate to meet with the Broncos, who interviewed Chuck Pagano (Wednesday) and Zac Taylor (Thursday). On the docket are Brian Flores (Saturday) and Vic Fangio (Monday). Since leaving the Titans, Munchak has been the Pittsburgh Steelers’ offensive line coach. Last January, he removed himself from consideration for the Arizona Cardinals’ head coaching position. Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers requested an interview. Munchak checks two of the boxes Elway is assumed to want: Previous head-coaching experience and a background on offense. He played 12 years at guard for the Houston Oilers, was named to the Pro Bowl nine times, twice selected All Pro and, in 2001 was inducted to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. To his credit, Munchak didn’t use his playing status to take short cuts in coaching.

  • John Fox Fires Back at Jim Irsay Over Peyton Manning Bashing
    John Fox fires back at Jim Irsay over Peyton Manning bashing By Mike Klis The Denver Post October 15, 2013 Broncos coach John Fox. Broncos coach John Fox fired back at Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay on Tuesday in defense of Peyton Manning. Irsay earlier implied in an interview with USA Today that he wanted to move on from Manning’s “star wars” stats and start winning more Super Bowls. Fox, on his weekly appearance on NFL Sirius radio on Tuesday with Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan, was asked about Irsay’s comments. “I saw the comments. And to be honest with you, I thought it was a bit of a cheap shot,” Fox said. “To me, in my opinion, they were disappointing and inappropriate. “Peyton would never say anything. He’s too classy to do that. They sounded a little ungrateful and unappreciative to me. For a guy who has set a standard, won a Super Bowl, won four MVP awards… be thankful of that one Super Bowl ring, because a lot of people don’t have one.” Irsay, among other quotes, said in reference to Manning’s time with the Colts: “(Tom) Brady never had consistent numbers, but he has three of these,” Irsay said. “Pittsburgh had two, the Giants had two, Baltimore had two and we had one. That leaves you frustrated.” Here’s a link to Fox’s radio interview. Broncos promote Tavarres King to 53- man roster, waive Adrian Robinson By Mike Klis The Denver Post October 15, 2013 When the Green Bay Packers tried to sign away rookie receiver Tavarres King, the Broncos' front office countered with its own play.

  • Week 13 NFL Preview
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 12/1/15 http://twitter.com/nfl345 PLAYOFF RACES HEAT UP AS NFL SEASON ENTERS DECEMBER As the calendar turns to December, the NFL playoff picture is starting to take shape. With five games remaining in the regular season, there are currently 21 teams either in or within one game of a playoff spot. “These next five games are very important,” says Arizona Cardinals cornerback PATRICK PETERSON. “We want to make sure our guys are ready for this run of the season.” The Carolina Panthers own the NFL’s best record at 11-0. Carolina, who travels to New Orleans this week (FOX, 4:25 PM ET), has won 15 consecutive regular-season games and the team’s 11-0 start is the first in franchise history. “There’s going to be a lot of talk and speculation about it,” says Panthers head coach RON RIVERA on the possibility of a 16-0 regular season. “But the truth of the matter is that it should only be geared to the next game. I know this much: the next possibility is 12. We’ll continue to take that one-game-at-a-time mentality. We can’t get ahead of ourselves. We can’t look at what the possibilities are other than what’s in front of us. That’s what the mantra is going to continue to be.” Some of the other key contests in Week 13: GREEN BAY PACKERS (7-4) at DETROIT LIONS (4-7) (Thursday, CBS/NFLN, 8:25 PM ET) The Packers enter December one game behind Minnesota in the NFC North.

  • Exploring an Issue Through Multiple Voices (A Tri-C Common Reading Program Assignment)
    Exploring an Issue through Multiple Voices (A Tri-C Common Reading Program Assignment) Total Points Possible: _______ Due: ________ Required Reading: The Postmortal, pages 1 - 72 Background: This assignment asks you to “try on” a particular style – one which Magary utilizes at various junctures, especially in the first half of his novel. To examine this technique, refer to pages 70-72 of The Postmortal. At this juncture, the reader experiences a critical incident through the reactions of seven different individuals and/or groups: . The Atlantic . Bob Mendel . Farrell’s dad . Allan Atkins . Choosedeath.org . Farrell’s sister . Joe Weiss (NBC) Please re-read pages 70 – 72 now, to better understand the assignment which follows. Assignment: In a brief journal entry (which you’ll post to the Discussion Board on Blackboard), use Magary’s technique of drawing from multiple perspectives to explore a controversial topic. First, select a current event and summarize the incident in 4-6 sentences. Then, piece together a collage of various reactions to that event. In other words, compile quotes from five different people, entities or groups whose comments reflect diverse vantage points on the event. (Each quote should be 1-4 sentences in length). For this journal entry, you do NOT need to offer commentary on the quotes. Just provide a preliminary framework of the issue (a few sentences in length) and then present the five quotes. Remember, you’ll want to use an actual current event (not a fictitious event). After posting your own entry, respond to any three (3) of your classmates’ Discussion Board posts.
