Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Bruce Arians Retires!!!!

The Arizona Cardinals  head coach Bruce Arians  announced his retirement from coaching during a tearful, emotional news conference Monday. “The tears you see are really tears of joy, peace,” Arians said. “I’ll miss the players. I’ll miss coming out of the locker room, hearing the national anthem because it still gets me …

Arians said that he truly didn’t know that he was going to retire until the outcome of Sundays game.   Arians leaves the team with a 49-30-1 mark after a five-year run that included a pair of playoff appearances. Beginning his coaching career as a graduate assistant with Virginia Tech in 1975, the 65-year-old Arians steadily evolved into one of pro football’s finest play-callers during coordinator stints with the Browns (2001-2003), Steelers (2004-2011) and Colts(2012). Arians is credited with molding Pittsburgh Steelers  quaterback Ben Roethlisberger into a future hall of famer.   Arians battled health issues over the past two seasons, a factor that clearly played into his decision to walk away.
