TAMPA (95.3 WDAE) -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers appear to have nailed down a deal with their preferred choice to be their next head coach.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Buccaneers have finalized a contract to make former Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians their next head coach.
Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports the two sides agreed to a four-year deal with an option for a fifth season, and that a number of coaches, including Clyde Christiansen, who was an assistant under Tony Dungy, and Byron Leftwich, who played one season for the Buccaneers, could be coming with Arians to Tampa Bay.
