Bruce Arians Lauds Josh Grizzard; Changes Tune On Todd Bowles

So two weeks ago Bucco Bruce Arians was pounding a drum for Liam “El Serpiente” Coen as the most worthy head coach of the year candidate.
And this another reason why Joe calls it BSPN, the network on which Arians appears every Tuesday to talk all things NFL via The Pat McAfee Show.
Today, Arians flipped the script and said Todd Bowles is his current pick for the NFL Coach of the Year honor. But Arians also described his appreciation for the guy who replaced Coen in Tampa, rookie Bucs playcaller Josh Grizzard.
“I think Josh Grizzard is doing an amazing job,” Arians said. “When you don’t have your right side of your offensive line and your top-four receivers, and you score 30 points against the Niners, you’re doing a hell of a job.”
During a sitdown on a Barstool gambling show last year, Arians said Coen was doing one of the greatest jobs he’s very seen from a rookie playcaller who installed a new offensive system.
Now Grizzard has taken that system and tweakedit so players can play faster and more deep shots are taken. It’s working. The Bucs are averaging 27.5 points per game.
Joe loves how the Bucs give Arians free time from his important role as senior advisor to the general manager to mingle with the media.
