Joe is just taking a moment to wish Bucco Bruce Arians well.

Arians hopped on Today on NBC this week for an in-studio promotional sitdown with Rob Gronkowski. There, Arians shared that he will have “open heart surgery” on Friday, Feb. 6, in Philadelphia. No other details were shared, other than that Arians will watch the Super Bowl from a hospital room.

Good luck, Coach!
