The concern of Tampa being any good was wholly unfounded

Seriously... what did he accomplish in AZ? They had that one 13-3 year where he stupidly played his starters in a meaningless game vs Seattle and they were never the same after that. They went from blowing teams out to struggling in the playoffs and ultimately getting blown out badly. Carson Palmer's best career year ended with him throwing 4 INTs.

The "drop back and throw bombs all day" offense cost Pittsburgh a SB in 2010. His quarterback now is Jeff George 3.0, what could possibly go wrong with asking Winston to drop back and throw bombs to defensive backs? LOL

As for the 2012 Colts that went 11-5 with him, seriously pull up their schedule and look at their point differential. They were one of the worst teams in NFL history to go 11-5 with a negative point differential. They beat up on their crappy division opponents and then got blown out against real teams.

Arians is just an OK coach. he's never been as good as people give him credit for.

I just went off on how much I don't like the guy, but now I'm going to sort of defend him, as a coach. As much as I don't like him, he isn't bad at coaching football.

It doesn't matter how crappy the Colts' 2012 schedule was. That team went 2-14 the year before. To pretend that was no big deal is intellectually dishonest, my friend. And he took over another dumpster fire in Arizona, with an old, not very good Carson Palmer at QB, and won 10, 11 and 13 games in his first 3 years there. After that, the roster kind of fell apart.

He's not the genius he wants to believe he is, but he's done enough to prove he can coach. He's just also a huge jerk.
