Arians not retiring type now

Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians spent the Steelers' off weekend at his Reynolds Plantation home in Greensboro, Ga., a spectacular golfing community on Lake Oconee, about halfway between Atlanta and Augusta. At this time a year ago, he couldn't wait to retire and move there full time. In fact, after the 2010 season, he told coach Mike Tomlin he was done after 36 years in coaching. Tomlin and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger quickly and quietly talked him out of quitting.

And now?

"We'll see how it goes the rest of the season, but it's looking like I'll try coaching again next year," Arians said Sunday. "These young guys have made it so much fun for me."

So have a 7-3 record and a share of first place in the AFC North Division.

Two quotes from the article stood out to me. You probably already know where I'm going with this.

Quote :

"There's never a doubt when I call a play that it will be successful," Arians said. "It's just a matter of us executing against the defense."

He's perfect. If something doesn't work, it's all the players' fault. Never his.

Here's what he said regarding all the hate for him, which is less right now but could return:

Quote :

"Oh, I know that," Arians said, a chuckle in his voice. "I understand how that goes. But I've never backed away from it. I love having that bull's eye on my back."

He seems to be OK with the hate. I wouldn't wanna disappoint him.

I'm sure Truckypoo will be happy to hear that he is actually making BA happy

Arians would be a big fan of Truck.
