      WITH A FOREWORD BY COACH BRUCE ARIANS A Season in the Sun is the behind-the-scenes story of how Coach Bruce Arians, Tom Brady, and the Tampa Bay Bucs came together to deliver one of the most improbable Super Bowl victories in NFL history. The story begins with how Arians successfully landed Brady, who became a free agent in March 2020 after spending two decades with the New England Patriots. Brady proceeded to help sway other players such as the retired tight end Rob Gronkowski, running back Leonard Fournette, and wide receiver Antonio Brown to join him in Tampa. All three players would go on to score touchdowns in Super Bowl LV. It was during their bye week in November that the Bucs transformed into a legitimate title contender. At the time Tampa was 7-5 and on a three-game losing streak. A Season in the Sun reveals how Arians, Brady, and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwhich made critical adjustments that were so effective the Bucs would not lose another game the rest of the season. At age forty-three, for the first time in his career, Brady essentially became a player-coach, and his unique bond with Arians, who returned to coaching after retiring in 2018, became the solid foundation beneath the Bucs' drive to ultimate victory. Inspiring and revealing, A Season in the Sun is an iconic sports story of second chances and new beginnings, and a tribute to a truly legendary coach, quarterback, and team.

      What is an elite NFL QB and what separates that player from the others? One answer is the coach they share. In the recent history of the biggest game on earth, one man is the common thread that connects several of the very best in the sport: Peyton Manning; Ben Roethlisberger; Andrew Luck; and the resurgent Carson Palmer. That coach is Bruce Arians. A larger than life visionary who trained under the tutelage of Bear Bryant, Arians has had a major impact on the development and success of each of these players. For proof beyond the stats, go to the sources. "Bruce is gonna love you when you need some loving, but he's gonna jump on you when you're not doing right." -- Peyton Manning "He coaches the way players want to be coached." -- Ben Roethlisberger "He made players comfortable around him and let everybody have their own personality. He didn't force anybody to be someone they weren't. It may sound a little corny or cheesy, but there's merit to that. I felt comfortable being myself and I felt he had my back." -- Andrew Luck "We're a resilient group. It trickles down from the head coach. I think good teams, really good teams, and hopefully great teams take on their coach's mentality. I think that's what B.A. brings . . . " -- Carson Palmer Known around the game as the 'quarterback whisperer', Arians has an uncanny ability to both personally connect with his quarterbacks and to locate what the individual triggers are for that player to succeed. No two quarterbacks are the same. And yet with Arians they always share success. In this book Arians will explain how he does it.
