CBS Sports Gives Bruce Arians Best Odds to Win Super Bowl 55

August 15, 2020

CBS released a list of 23 head coaches who were hunting for their first Super Bowl win. Atop that list was none other than Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ head coach Bruce Arians.

Quote via John Breech of CBS Sports

“Arians has been a head coach for seven seasons and in each of those seasons, he’s come up empty in the Super Bowl department. So to fix that problem, he brought in a secret weapon for 2020: Tom Brady. If the Buccaneers are going to win their second Super Bowl in franchise history, this feels like the season where it could happen.”

It is certainly hard to disagree with Breech. The stars have aligned for the Buccaneers in 2020. A great coaching staff paired with the greatest quarterback of all time. Add a ridiculous arsenal of offensive weapons and a young, hungry defense, and you have yourself a contender.

Full List:

Bruce Arians, Buccaneers
Kyle Shanahan, 49ers
Frank Reich, Colts
Sean McVay, Rams
Sean McDermott, Bills
Bill O’Brien, Texans
Mike Zimmer, Vikings
Matt LaFleur, Packers
Mike Vrabel, Titans
Dan Quinn, Falcons
Kliff Kingsbury, Cardinals
Matt Nagy, Bears
Kevin Stefanski, Browns
Anthony Lynn, Chargers
Vic Fangio, Broncos
Brian Flores, Dolphins
Matt Patricia, Lions
Matt Rhule, Panthers
Zac Taylor, Bengals
Adam Gase, Jets
Doug Marrone, Jaguars
Ron Rivera, Redskins
Joe Judge, Giants

Arians is no stranger to a Super Bowl-winning organization. As a wide receivers coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers and a few years later as the Steelers offensive coordinator, Arians helped in his respective department in ensuing those two seasons saw the grand prize. Fast forward to 2020 and Arians could be on the cusp of his very first Super Bowl as the head honcho.

Of course, like any team, it’s a team effort and the offensive and defense will need to play bigger than ever if they want to see their dream become a reality. If the Buccaneer defense can go stride for stride with what could be one of the league’s best offenses, then Tampa Bay’s odds to make the Super Bowl should be decent.
