From his emphasis on diversity in hiring to his healthy work-life balance practices, Bruce Arians was truly one-of-a-kind in the NFL coaching ranks, writes ConorOrr
There are so many young coaches with developing families who quickly grow cynical of the business due to the long hours associated with working in professional football. While much of the old school wears the coffee-stained sleepless nights as a badge, a hard-and-fast example of how the NFL world works, Arians introduced the idea of seeing your kids’ chorus concerts and little league games.
While Arians’s time in the NFL wasn’t perfect—after building a gender-progressive coaching staff, he aggressively backed the signing of Antonio Brown, which Brown later settled, and only cut Brown after his actions hurt the team on the field—he always had an eye on leaving the coaching world better than he found it.
Bowles’s chance to work with Brady comes at a time of critical optics. Recently, so many head coaches of color, be it Hue Jackson in Cleveland, Vance Joseph in Denver, David Culley in Houston, Steve Wilks in Arizona or Bowles’s previous job with the Jets have gotten gigs that contained trap door situations at the most critical position in the sport. They were destined to fail from the outset.
