Buccaneers Fire Multiple Coaches After Disappointing Season
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fired several coaches, including their offensive coordinator and special teams coach, after a disappointing season.
They started the season well but ended up with a losing record.
The team's offense, which was very good last year, performed much worse this year.
The head coach said these changes are necessary to help the team compete for championships.
The coaches who were fired worked hard, but the team did not get the results they wanted.
The Buccaneers hope these changes will help them improve next season.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired five coaches, including offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard and special teams coach Thomas McGaughey.
The team finished the 2025 season with an 8-9 record after a strong 6-2 start.
The offense dropped from 3rd overall in yards in 2024 to 21st in 2025.
Head coach Todd Bowles stated the changes were necessary to meet the team's high standards.
Baker Mayfield had a strong start to the season but injuries affected his performance later on.
