Cardinals president Michael Bidwill was asked today what he thought about Bruce Arians getting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers job and talked about the idea of Arizona bringing him back: "It's great that he did. We were already well down the process before we realized Bruce was potentially serious about going in because it didn't look like… there was a lot of talk about Cleveland but when the Tampa thing started looking real, we were already well down the process here. I wish him all the luck in the world and we're still great friends and fans and everything else and it's going to be some of the same coaching staff and we're excited about those guys. And I'll tell you what, it's going to be a fun year. Freddie Kitchens I just read (was named the Browns head coach). Bruce has got a coaching tree with another branch and we're going to play those guys this year, both teams, so it's going to be a lot of fun.”
