The Arizona Cardinals had discussions with Arians about their vacant quarterbacks coach job, sources said. Arians has deep ties to coach Ken Whisenhunt and assistant coach Russ Grimm from their days together in Pittsburgh.

He retired because his contract wasn't renewed.

And the language is vague here...."In contact with" simply means that there was contact. I'm guessing it was initiated by them, not him.

You are probably correct. He's gotten 5 or 6 offers according to the York article. Those are teams coming to him.

BLASPHEMY!
Arians is a borderline idiot. Who would want to hire him???????
Re: Arians to Pittsburgh West?
better stay retired Bruce
all the blame for Kolb's failures will be put on you
Re: Arians to Pittsburgh West?
He might be good as a QB coach for 2 years. He should stay retired because he doesn't need the headaches.
Re: Arians to Pittsburgh West?
Can't remember which announcer of one of our last games was praising Arians and said he is head coach worthy. Nay, can't see that happening.
Re: Arians to Pittsburgh West?
i think there is always going to be contact w, a steeler player or coach that has been cut, or a Fa by the cardinals until they get rid of ken.. its ike a given fact, like we all know the sun will come up tom.... but bruce baby is pretty old anyway, so i doubt he has many long term contracts out there

Kinda reminds me of Tuna...every team he went to he brought in his old has beens. That's why I loved seeing him coach the boys and bring in interceptaverdi.

Are you sure after all it is a retirement community. Just sayin'
Re: Arians to Pittsburgh West?
that is true.. but that did work when he took over the very horrible dolphins.. brought in players and coaches from dallas... and then they went on some good winning ish seasons..
Re: Arians to Pittsburgh West?
How is other teams contacting him proof that he isn't retiring?

Contacting is not proof. If he takes one of the positions, well...
Maybe he is the Brett Favre of coaches.

Jim Nantz I think said that. I wonder how many teams asked the Steelers for permission to speak with Arians about their head coaching vacancy? Will be interesting to see where he goes and if he goes as QB coach, OC, WR coach, etc??
Re: Arians to Pittsburgh West?
Or, you know, just retires like he said.
Why does everything have to be a conspiracy theory?
