INDIANAPOLIS — Bruce Arians has created the NFL's most diverse coaching staff in Tampa Bay, establishing the Buccaneers as the only team to have Black coaches at all four coordinator positions. They also have two women on the staff as full-time coaches. He is the poster child for what the league aspires to develop with its member teams.
That's why Arians applauded his former team when the Steelers stepped up and added Brian Flores to their coaching staff just two weeks after Flores' blockbuster racial discrimination lawsuit against the NFL.
"I thought it was a great move," Arians said. "He's a great dude and a hell of a coach. He needs to be a head coach in this league. I think Mike (Tomlin) did a great job bringing him on ... and I think it helps the Steelers organization."
