The two headlining names that stand out in the group are Rob McCartney moving to assistant general manger and Mike Biehl a vice president of player personnel. The Bucs have two assistants to Jaosn Licht as McCartney joins Mike Greenberg as the other assistant general manager of the Bucs.
McCartney joined the organization in 2011 fresh out of college and after working for the Steelers as an intern from 2006-2010. He has worked his way up the ladder since being hired as a pro personnel assistant.
Over the years, he has been a pro scout, a national scout, a pro scouting coordinator, director of pro scouting, and the director of player personnel. His latest job title has a large focus remaining on assisting Licht during the draft process as well as free agency.
Biehl has worked alongside McCartney throughout his time in Tampa Bay, but his resume bullet points are more on the college scouting side. He joined the organization shortly after Licht in the summer of 2014, with the first draft he contributed toward being in 2015.

He served as the director of college scouting before moving into a director of player personnel role before the 2022 season. During that time, he has been a key voice in the war room as the team formed the foundation that helped them lift the Lombardi Trophy.
Biehl recently joined the Pewter Report Podcast to talk about his time with the Bucs, looking into this season and to give more details about the 2025 draft class. Click the link for the episode.

The Bucs also announced the hiring of Zach Beistline as the director of football research and Patrick O’Brien as a performance dietician.
Beistline comes as an intriguing because he has in game management experience. Presumably it appears that he’s going to help Todd Bowles with certain situations that happen during the game. This is an area where Bowles has been questioned about before.

Beistline had spent the last 12 years with the Jacksonville Jaguars with his highest title being director of game management. He should provide an immediate impact with some decisions for head coach Todd Bowles.
