A person calculates the remainder when the polynomial $f(x) = x^{3} + ax^{2} + bx + c$ is divided by $g(x) = ax^{3} + bx^{2} + cx + d$, where $a, b, c, d$ are real numbers and $a \neq 0$. He mistakenly read it as $g(x)$ divided by $f(x)$, and after calculation obtained the remainder as $-3x - 17$. Assuming the correct remainder when $f(x)$ is divided by $g(x)$ equals $px^{2} + qx + r$, what is the value of $p$?
(1) $-3$ (2) $-1$ (3) $0$ (4) $2$ (5) $3$
