TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a new head coach.  Bruce Arians has decided to retire and is moving into the Buccaneers’ front office. He’s being replaced by defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, whose previous head coaching job was with the New York Jets.  Arians will turn 70 this coming season. He coached the Bucs to the Super Bowl title in the 2020 season and was 31-18 in three seasons with Tampa Bay. He called it the right time for him to make the transition to the front office.  There was no public indication at the NFL’s annual meetings in Florida that such a move was coming.  Arians is 80-48-1 in eight years as a head coach, including his five years with the Cardinals.
