Bruce Arians\' Family Urged Him Opt Out Before Season 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Feb 10, 2021 1:46 pm

There was a very real chance Bruce Arians didn\'t coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory this season.

Arians revealed that his wife and kids urged him to consider opting out of the 2020 season because they were concerned about him contracting COVID-19.

\"Some people said, \"Dad, you need to opt out this year,\" and I was like, \'No way. I\'ll risk it. It\'s going to be a magical year,\'\" Arians said.

The 68-year-old said he was extremely careful during the season.

\"I went to work, came home,\" he said. \"We haven\'t gone out to dinner since July. We have all these open-air restaurants here, but I just couldn\'t risk it. Both of us are high risk.\"
