Joe Thomas, Kurt Warner & DeAngelo Hall Peg Bruce Arians For 2020 Coach Of The Year
September 1st, 2020
If the Bucs don’t have a winning freaking record this year, Joe might have to go vegan, give up beer and actually take a day off — before returning to the keyboard to demand a new Bucs regime.
The Tampa Bay roster is certainly among the top-10 most talented groups in the NFL, possibly top-5 if you’re not big on special teams play.
The coaching staff is led by a former two-time NFL Coach of the Year, and the Bucs general manager thinks the entire coaching staff deserves a big fat A+ grade.
It’s Year 2 of the Bucco Bruce Arians regime, so a lot of people believe the learning curve is over. The turnover machine was unplugged, and now it’s time to showcase Buccaneers greatness.
Count Kurt Warner, Joe Thomas and DeAngelo Hall, three former NFL superstars, among the believers.
Each chose Arians to win NFL Coach of the Year honors this season in a feature for NFL.com. In fact, Arians was the consensus pick by a panel of 35 NFL Media analysts, edging Bills head coach Sean McDermott by one vote.
Don’t get confused. Coach of the Year is a slightly political vote; it’s partially based on perception of the team in the summer versus how it finishes the season. Regardless, Arians won’t win Coach of the Year (voted on after the regular season only) if the Bucs finish 10-6 and come in second place in the NFC South.
That won’t be good enough. So Warner, Thomas and Hall seem to think Arians will have the Bucs at 11-5 or better, or at least winning the division at 10-6.
From Bucs fans and national analysts, it’s a very high bar for Arians this season. Rightfully so.
The head coach is aware of it, and he certainly knows becoming a three-time Coach of the Year — for three different organizations — might help land him in the Hall of Fame one day.
Joe realized over the past four months that Joe is completely exhausted by incessant Bucs losing. Only three NFC teams are riding three or more consecutive losing seasons. Yeah, the Bucs are one of them.
It’s time to win. It really is. Joe doesn’t give a crap if Arians is Coach of the Year. Just end the fans’ suffering and find your way to the playoffs in a conference that now allows 7 of 16 teams into the postseason party.

Joe, can you please block the repeat post that the sheep lover will post.
September 1st, 2020 at 1:30 pm
Pretty sure that all three of those former players have been linked to concussions!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Strange that all three showing concussion symptoms at the same time, but these days are strange times!!!!!!!!!!! As many know, I am, as other, “real” fans are on the other side of this so called “revival” of buccaneer glory!!!!!!!!!!!!! I say ole stale biscuit will crumble under any sign of pressure!!!!!!!! And even worse, it the mess that will be left after the very short one year wonder has slammed shut!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be worse than the garbage fire that ole stale biscuit left in Arizona!!!!!!!!!! So enjoy the hype sheep!!!!!!!!! It will be as good as it gets from here on out!!!!!!!!!! Because wharf the bucs reap, is what they sow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The truth is incontrovertible!!!!!!!!!! Malice may attack it and ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You would deserve more than a day off!
September 1st, 2020 at 1:42 pm
Poor taste, Realist.
September 1st, 2020 at 1:46 pm
What they meant to say was Tom Brady will be the coach of the year cuz there’s no way a guy (liar, backstabber, self promoter) who led a team to the most penalties in the NFL and the most turnovers in the NFL and all time worst defense the first nine weeks of last year is really the coach of the year the next year.
September 1st, 2020 at 1:53 pm
If the old cheating goat Brady is somehow able to drag ole stale biscuit to a playoff appearance, then that will be an even greater accomplishment than winning 6 Superbowls!!!!!!!!!!
“Word on the street” is that Joe is considering, if the Bucs have a losing record and takes that day off, that Joe will give The Buc Realist full carte Blanche and keys to the JBF fortress to write stories and articles for that 24hrs “health day”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
go bucs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 1st, 2020 at 1:58 pm
Obviously, Joe Thomas, Kurt Warner & DeAngelo Hall have not consulted with Realisto.
I almost feel sorry for Realisto, you know, dain bramage causing tremors in his posting fingers on the “!” key.
Almost.
But don’t.
He’s like the crazy guy, wearing tattered, threadbare robes, walking in circles in the town square talking incoherently and holding a “The End Is Near” sign…
September 1st, 2020 at 1:59 pm
So many yack-offs/saints fans on this here site these days…
Hey Masturbar Realisto, hit em with another narcissistic repost!!!
September 1st, 2020 at 2:03 pm
LOL…Howard is still chuckling….but he hopes the realisto is wrong and Buc fans are treated to Manning w/ the Broncos Ver 2.0
September 1st, 2020 at 2:04 pm
LOL r-e-a-l-i-s-t-o has become a moderation trigger word
September 1st, 2020 at 2:34 pm
Realist.
Please make your case against BA without the histrionics. You have valid points and the facts to back them up, so lay it all out for everybody one time.
You’re hatred of BA is beginning to seem personal.
September 1st, 2020 at 2:39 pm
Man Ndog is a whinney kunt. BA has won coach of the year twice for 2 different teams. Maybe just sit back and enjoy the ride
September 1st, 2020 at 2:57 pm
Enjoy it for what a year at best then we will have the worst team in the league hands down. All the while the Saints are getting their future all lined up to whoop our a$$ for the next decade plus. Some people are just to blind to see it happening right under their noses.
And it’s not called being whiny it’s called telling the truth and not just believing everything your told to believe like a bunch of lemmings.
We went from a player that loves and cares about this team, city and organization along with his teammates and wanted to make this team special for a long time to a guy that’s worried about selling merchandise so him and his wife can be even more lavish with their billionaire spending, boy what a great win we got.
You people talk about selfish there’s not a more selfish player in the history of professional sports than Tom Brady. The guys had everything he’s ever wanted hands down his entire career gift wraped and the second the Patriots aren’t perfect he bails he complains like a little bit*h and runs to the one team that has talent that would be stupid enough to take him because he knows he cant win anymore even with the best coach ever and one of the best defenses in the league and playing against the worst division in the league. It was clear why the Patriots lost last year and it was Tom Brady so he comes here where he thinks the weapons will hide his massive decline and then the idiot media will blame the defense, kicker or coach. He is in a no lose situation because you people made it a such and fell for the con like always.

Division Champs! I believe if we’re going to make it to the SB, we have to do it by beating the Saints for the division title. I don’t think 10-6 is going to get it done. So I’m putting my money on 11+ wins this year. Seems excessive given the Buc’s history. But then again, the Bucs have never had an elite QB leading this All-Star offense. Like you Joe, I may be setting myself up for the biggest crash in recent memory, but all the signals suggest this is the year.
September 1st, 2020 at 3:17 pm
Winfield got allot of love for being the defensive rookie of the year also.
September 1st, 2020 at 4:27 pm
Liar backstabber and self promoter??? Sounds to me like winston huh ndog?????
Should I list the ways????
September 1st, 2020 at 4:37 pm
realist is a troll just trying to yank your sausage.
September 1st, 2020 at 5:05 pm
Told you joe
September 1st, 2020 at 5:13 pm
Good article. This year looks to be close to all or nothing. If we don’t have a winning record this year, I don’t see any way that the don’t blow this whole thing up. If we have a winning record and just miss the playoffs, I think the Glazers give it another shot in 2021.
September 1st, 2020 at 5:15 pm
Much of what Arians has already done is unlikely to show on the stat sheet.
Frankly, who cares if Brady is “running the offense” just as long as we win?!
September 1st, 2020 at 5:20 pm

Nice to see this.
So a panel of 35 guys likes our head coach. Apparently, 3-4 guys on this site do not and want you to believe them over the panel.

Yet again you couldn’t be more wrong, but that doesn’t surprise anyone in the least.
September 1st, 2020 at 5:30 pm
Ndog, it doesn’t matter that Jay Miss “loves and cares about this team, city and organization.” It matters that he absolutely SUCKED as a starting NFL QB. He’s where he should be. Wearing a visor and headset, holding a clipboard and the emergency QB in NOLA.
September 1st, 2020 at 5:32 pm
Hey Ndog, selfish is not assaulting an uber driver sexually and hiding it from your team. He lied and that is pretty selfish in my book. Oh, along with throwing 30 interceptions because of being to selfish to check down and not force big plays that are not there.
September 1st, 2020 at 5:41 pm
Yeah Alvin he sucked, a guy threw for 5,000 yards and was # 2 in the NFL touchdown passes led the number scoring 3 offense in the NFL with no running game, a crappy kicker and a average offensive line yeah that sucks, you people have no idea what you’re talking about my goodness. And oh by the way this is all done in the first year of an offense.
September 1st, 2020 at 6:00 pm
Rayjay1122 Uber issue zero proof he did anything wrong or lied and regarding interceptions I can show you countless times were there were no checkdown options but I know you want know part of facts.
September 1st, 2020 at 6:08 pm
LOL the puppy came back to pee in corners again.
September 1st, 2020 at 6:45 pm
Hey NDog
You know who is holding a clipboard for the Saints for league minimum.
September 1st, 2020 at 7:10 pm
Ndog go reread your first post and see how hateful you are of your own team……I mean jeez guy. Look, Winston was a polarizing QB. He apparently broke you as a fan. All the highs and lows were clearly too much for you to handle.
You used to seem like you k we some football now you are completely obsessed with some backup dude that we all have long forgotten about till you come remind us every day…….Enjoy some football dumbass you might get hit by a truck before he gets his shot again……if ever.
September 1st, 2020 at 10:14 pm
@ndog… i’m going to have to agree with Mike on this one. 31 other gms don’t agree with you.

This goes out to the first comment whoever posted it as (El Buco Realisto)
Well I don’t know what you are talking about as in “ole stale biscuit talking about last season when we were a very good team especially on the tail end of the season with the number one rush defense and the number one passing offense of the nfl. But you are right we had some weaknesses, one of them being at quarterback where a man squints at the scoreboard just to read what the score is. Oh that is right he threw 30 interceptions, something that Brady has not doing in over 3 seasons put together. No but I’ll play your car, we knew at the end of the season we had to keep our front 7, Arians did that. He listened to Bowles what he needed to be successful and they worked together. If you don’t think we don’t have a great team them get the heck off the website. We don’t your negativity. Our coaches are hard enough on our players on the Bucs and they will make sure they hear the worst on the practice field, well unless you think you can coach better. If you are truly a bucs fan, which I think you are not, sounds like you are a sore New England fan. Get over it!! “Enjoy the hype sheep???” You are talking to your other Bucs fan if you are one…and you are not. Being a Bucs fan, being a fan in general is about hoping for the best of the next year and realizing their potential. We have hands down, one of the best rosters in the NFL. If you can’t handle that and just want to be a nay sayer fine. Go ahead and tell your kids that, your pee wee football team, your baseball team. No, that is not a fan, not a coach, not a mentor. You are a disease.
Here’s to the Bucs, to our coach to our players. They have heart, they have faith, they will do whatever it takes to get it done. Fans and everyone of Tampa Bay need to come together because this is it. We have the “juice” that makes something special. If you have something negative to say about my team, get the heck off this site and shut up. This is a Bucs website and pipe down Bucs going all the way
