As
previously noted, the team is also expected to hire Bruce Arians as offensive coordinator after the Steelers made him “retire. ...” As PFT notes, the Steelers prevented Butler from taking a coordinator job with the Cardinals in the past, but his contract was up this year.They reportedly didn’t want to lose him, but he wanted to become a coordinator. Pagano, Arians, and Butler all worked under Butch Davis on Cleveland’s staff in 2001.
