Only a scant few days after former Steelers assistant Bruce Arians supposedly retired from coaching,it sounds like he has a new job.
According to a tweet from XTRA 910âs Mike Jurecki, Arians âis likely to become the next coordinator of the Colts.â Later, ESPN's Adam Schefter wrote that Arians has agreed to the job and will fly to Indianapolis on Monday to "to review and sign [the] contract."
So much for retirement, eh?
Well, it sounds like thatâs not exactly what happened at the end of Ariansâ tenure in Pittsburgh, especially since reports have emerged that Ariansâ expiring contract would not have been renewed and that team president Art Rooney II didnât give Arians a reason why the team was letting him go.
But the release of Arians might cause Pittsburgh more problems, because an obviously-displeased quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said he will march up to Rooneyâs office and figure out why Arians wasnât retained.
Pagano, the Ravens defensive coordinator, matched wits with Arians twice last season, and Baltimore held Pittsburgh to a combined 27 points in dealing the Steelers two losses.
The two also coached together with the Browns from 2001-03, so there should be plenty of familiarity between the two.
