Arians, who spent part of his childhood in York, Pa. Cooper, one of the last kickers in the NCAA to use the straight-on style, also hit a yarder that afternoon using a heavily taped foot and a squared-off shoe.
Palmer was inducted into the Temple Hall of Fame in after rushing for 4, yards and 39 touchdowns from , and into the College Football Hall of Fame in He said beating Pitt was a point of emphasis from the start with Arians. The Owls were point underdogs on the road but beat No. Considering the game happened more than two decades ago, it should come as no surprise that the memories can be a little fuzzy.
One thing is clear. If the year-old Leftwich, who did not get an interview for a head-coaching job last year, is snatched away following the season as expected, Arians says he does not want to return to calling plays again. The Bucs have several candidates to call plays for Brady if and when that job becomes available, including quarterbacks coach Clyde Christensen and assistant head coach Harold Goodwin.
But a name to watch is new assistant receivers coach Thad Lewis. The former Duke quarterback, who played for eight NFL teams in as many seasons, joined the staff as a part of the Bill Walsh fellowship a year ago.

Brady played on a torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee a year ago and has made a full recovery from surgery in February. Health aside, Arians believes Brady will be better in because of the work done with Leftwich ironing out some bumps in the offense. Just getting it finer tuned, you know what I mean? The offense showed itself better those last eight games. We can score points, but I think we can be more efficient. He also was hospitalized with chest pains in November and went to the hospital before a preseason game in because of diverticulitis.
It got to the point that Chris thought Bruce was going to have a stroke during a game because of how worked up he'd get. Because Bruce is healthier and doesn't carry the responsibility of, essentially, two jobs, Chris feels like he could keep coaching "for a long time.
Arians has taken control of his health in the past three years. He lost 25 pounds in and then gained it back, but was able to lose it again this season -- something coaches typically do during the offseason. Because Arians is healthier, eating better and feeling better overall, he's been able to start working out again, running a couple of miles on the underwater treadmill three to four days a week.
Chris also credited assistant strength and conditioning coach Maral Javadifar for helping get Bruce on track. Bruce's son, Jake, said his father's health wasn't the reason Bruce retired after the season, but was the reason he thought he should retire. Tampa Bay linebacker Kevin Minter , who played for Arians for four seasons in Arizona and then the last two with the Bucs, said Arians is not as "high-strung" as he used to be.

Right off the bat, Tampa had two things going for it: it was close to the grandchildren and it was warm. The Arians are an East Coast family.
Bruce and Chris are each one of five siblings and all their in-laws, nieces and nephews are on the East Coast, along with one of their two children and most of their grandchildren.
Jake moved to Arizona when Bruce got the Cardinals job in and has stayed, but the Arians' daughter, Kristi, lives in Birmingham with her family. The grandchildren come in about once a month and stay for the weekend -- something Bruce said they couldn't have done if he was still coaching in Arizona.
They play with "Pops," which is what they call Bruce, in an inflatable water slide in the front yard near two big oak trees. But Chris is still being safe. Everyone who comes to her house -- family included -- gets a negative COVID test before they're allowed in. But to have them here, that's what it's all about," Bruce said. Tweet Me!

However, Bennett's previous success did not come with him to Tampa, with consecutive finishes in both of his years as coach of the Bucs. Obviously the Bucs' then-owner knew another person with the same name as the former Packer coaching legend. Williamson returned to coaching in , when he was hired as an assistant for the Kansas City Chiefs under new coach John Mackovic.
After Mackovic was fired following the season, Williamson was told by the new head coach that he would not be retained. Wyche was hired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as head coach in Wyche was dismissed at the conclusion of the season.
