he is clearly missing stuff on the field, whether it's clock management, going for it on 4th decisions, having no safety back before half time in a pivotal Carolina game
Sure, but he believes in himself. It's all good.
I mean, it was clear the team did as well.
Especially down the stretch.
Cant remember a time I’ve ever seen a team that bought in and dedicated til the very end.
Believing in himself is something that separates Todd Bowles from his NFL Head Coaching brethren. It's a rare quality to have among those guys.
This franchise is damn lucky to have someone like that at the helm.
Goosebumps…

when you two come up from your snuggle you could try to address the actual point instead of your fake one lo
The Tweedles got nothing when it comes to football.
The 2025 Lions finished 9-8 and 4th in their division
Dan Campbell is celebrated for his conviction. ignore the noise!

Let’s be honest here. Dan Campbell is Greg Schiano with a talented roster.
He’s a terrible coach.

i agree. Dan Campbell is overrated but that doesn't change the fact that Todd Bowles is NOT a top 15 head coach. I, as would 99% of the rest of the NFL fan base, would rank Campbell ahead of Bowles.
Detroit misses the playoffs again in 2026 and i wouldn't be surprised if they move on from Campbell; cant say the same about the Bucs with Bowles. another 8,9 win season and miss playoffs and he's probably still employed heading into 2027.

No one is saying Dan Campbell shutting out the noise is a character flaw lol. It's part of who he is. Just like being a DC is who Bowles is.

Let’s be honest here. Dan Campbell is Greg Schiano with a talented roster.
He’s a terrible coach.
Campbell took a Dolphins roster with question marks as an interim HC and he competed with a 5-7 record after Philbin was fired starting 1-3. That division had the Patriots finish with a 12-4 record, the Jets with a 10-6 record (Legendary Todd Bowles and Fitzmagic!) and the Bills with an 8-8 record.

Yeah, it’s hilarious watching the Bowles leghumpers compare Todd Bowles to Dan Campbell. There isn’t anyone with a clue that would prefer Bowles to Campbell. Here are their winning percentages as full time Head Coaches:
Todd Bowles - .447
Dan Campbell - .571
And that’s with the Detroit fuggin’ Lions.
The defense run by Bowles is too complicated for another DC to run.
The defense run by Bowles is too complicated for another DC to run.
Either that, or being a HC is a bit complicated for him. Our "laudable" HC has a career 62-77 record as an NFL HC. *snicker*
He is a good DC. I would not ever debate that. He is not a good head coach and that is where the problem lies. He can't do both. That is one of my biggest quarrels with him as a head coach. He should understand the role of a Head Coach is deeper than the role of a DC and that he should be able to hire a DC that can run the kind of defense he wants to employ.It's a power and control issue. Bowles can't let go of running the defense. He only trusts himself for the responsibility.
which is insane that Licht/Glazers haven't strong armed him here
so 2022 was disaster, they basically replace entire coaching staff. He has two guys not qualified to be DC in Larry Foote and Kacy Rodgers as co-defensive coordinators but Todd calling plays.
keep up this joke in 2023 and 2024
then in 2025, decide, ok, no longer a joke, let's not lie to the people; and it's the worst defense in Bowles tenure as head coach.
their idea is to double down on 2025? like shit man this is malpratice.
doesn't mean you have to change Bowles scheme but an extra set of eyes, up in the booth, might have won us that first panthers game where it was clear as day, no safety back before half time. One coach, one set of eyes, and we are a playoff team last year (getting our ass kicked against LAR for sure but i disgress)
unbelievable that they didn't force Bowles hand here.
hilarious how mind fugged everyone is by Bowles. Bowles is a DC so it's a good thing that he believes in himself and wants to prove people wrong. He may not succeed but that core belief in ones self is the right trait for a coach. Hilarious to see people convert that into some kind of character flaw.
if the Bucs owners thought Bowles wasn't up to it as a DC they would've fired him because that is the thing he brings to the table. They might be wrong to have that faith but there is no world in which they retain him but force him to hire someone to do his core job They would just fire him

Yes but it seems like Bowles and the FO see it almost in reverse ie he needs to focus on the defense. I am not saying that is right but their actions suggest they think they shored up ST, they have a good offense based on talent and coordinator, so what they need is a better defense, talent and coordinator.
HC almost an afterthought

Cool story.
But, does Dan "believe in himself"?
That could very well be their thinking, but I would almost dare to say they are the only organization in the NFL that is thinking that way. I (personally) have never been a fan of the Head Coach calling the plays on offense or defense even though there are some that are successful at doing both. Perhaps it works out as much as it doesn't but to me, the HC is there to direct the ship......not drive the ship.He is a good DC. I would not ever debate that. He is not a good head coach and that is where the problem lies. He can't do both. That is one of my biggest quarrels with him as a head coach.
