Everyone short of Bowles is fired. Now they have to hire a whole new staff for a lame duck coach. Good luck. Now that they've already clipped Bowles's wings perhaps they'll hire a guy like Mike McDaniel or somebody who can become HC in a year. But that would mean Bowles would have very little control over somebody hired by the higher-ups.
The ideal OC for Bowles on the market right now is Mike Mcdaniels a run first guy from the shanahan tree with heavy play action who also has coordinator experience. The only difference is the personnel he uses is speed which we have in Bucky and Tucker but Evans and Godwin are a smidge slower than he likes but I think he can make it work.
i do think he can take baker to another level and his timing
Couldn't agree more. I don't like the idea of rolling with Bowles for another year but this would put at least the offense in the best case scenario.
Im still lost to why Bowles gets to call his defense for another year. When over the last 3 years have we had a formidable defense? We're not even a top 15 defense over the last 3 years.

Definitely the impression but isn't he under contract until 2028?
#Clownshow - you’re absolutely right.“While seven assistants from the 2025 Bucs staff are gone, Todd Bowles will have the choice to continue calling the defense in 2026 and is not expected to have a defensive coordinator on his new staff.”

THE problem with the team was the defense ALL season, so let’s keep the defensive coordinator.
Just have to wait another year.
it really makes no sense
hire somebody this you can train to call plays. da fuck man
Scheelhaus looking better and better.

I hate to leave receipts, but I think 2026 will be his last season with the Bucs. It appears the Glazers are giving Bowles a short leash with these firings and potential hirings. I think he slashes his own throat by continuing as the DC calling his own the defensive plays. Derp.

i think that is a reasonable take but that's why I was asking about the actual contract. I guess it doesn't matter if the perception is "short leash"

It appears to me that the Glazers are giving Bowles an opportunity to turn things around. And there are caveats to doing so, i.e. coaching staff changes. What I don't understand is why Bowles is choosing the route of continuing as his own DC and calling the plays. Coachicide IMHO.
How bad does our defense truly have to be for this bum to be held accountable???

maybe
ESPN is reporting that the coaching changes were not a mandate or request by the Glazers

it makes you wonder what Bowles may have on the Glazers?
so what's the average NFL coaching tenure? 3 years. Bowles has had 4 years
I am wondering if we are making history? How often has an NFL head coach in that tenure fired their entire staff....twice...in such a short span and maintained being the head coach.
