TODD BOWLES

After completing the latest round of coaching hires, the NFL won’t look any different on the sidelines in 2023.

The Chiefs have two coaches on their staff that have been head coaches in defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and quarterbacks coach Matt Nagy.

From diversity to concussions, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell reiterated the league is still looking for improvement.

With Tom Brady officially "retiring for good" this time, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' scenario where he didn't return next season has become a reality.

At least nine coaches on Todd Bowles' staff will be replaced. Names to watch include Georgia OC Todd Monken, a former Tampa assistant.

The Bucs have fired Bryon Leftwich, the Tampa Bay Times reported. Leftwich was expected to be let go after Tampa Bay finished 25th in points scored during the regular season.

Byron Leftwich is out as offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are shaking up their coaching staff after finishing with the only losing record Tom Brady has had in more than two decades as a NFL starter.

Tampa Bay had the second-largest points drop-off of any team in NFL history, costing Byron Leftwich his job. Who might replace him?

While the GOAT makes up his mind on his playing future, the Bucs have big decisions to make on the coaching staff and the roster.

Coaching changes paid off in a big way for several NFL teams this season.

The NFL is moving forward with the Week 18 schedule during a difficult, emotional week.

Tom Brady is 7-1 in his career against the Bengals, but Sunday will be the first time the GOAT matches up with Joe Cool.

The first-place Tampa Bay Buccaneers can’t afford to take anything for granted in the weak NFC South. The Bucs, at least on paper, appear talented and skilled enough to hold off Atlanta, Carolina and New Orleans in a tight division race in which all four teams have losing records with a month left in the regular season. In the aftermath of Sunday’s humbling 35-7 road loss at San Francisco, coach Todd Bowles declared it’s time for his players to “decide what kind of team we want to be.”

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills head to New England looking for their first division win of the season.

It was an eventful Week 12 in the NFC South, with the Bucs, Saints and Falcons all losing, while the Panthers earned a win in Sam Darnold's return.

Even in defeat, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll could recognize the special experience of participating in the NFL’s first regular-season game in Germany.

Even in defeat, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll could recognize the special experience of participating in the NFL's first regular-season game in Germany. Seattle and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers got a Bavarian welcome both in the days leading up to the game and during it, highlighted by an energetic capacity crowd of 69,811 at Allianz Arena singing together in the final minutes of the game and afterward. The Buccaneers beat the Seahawks 21-16, but both sides seemed to appreciate the historic nature of the event.

Tom Brady says he has no regrets about coming out of his short retirement to play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers again.

An annual diversity study has found the NFL posted significant gains in hiring women for positions in coaching, front offices and league headquarters.

Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel played 14 seasons as an NFL linebacker.

Two plays later, Jackson kept the ball on an RPO two plays later and got another first down at the Baltimore 41. An offensive pass interference penalty backed the Ravens up, and it was third-and-36 after the Bucs’ pass rush chased Jackson into an intentional-grounding penalty. Baltimore faced a third-and-one at the Bucs’ 43 and Edwards found a seam for 11 yards and a first down. On third-and-five from the Baltimore 43, Jackson found Likely again, this time for a gain of 17 to the Bucs’ 40. The Bucs’ defense held after that and the Ravens made it an 11-point game on Tucker’s 30-yard shot.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said "everything is on the table" when trouble shooting the Bucs' recent struggles, including the coaching staff.

The diagnosis of the injury suffered by Buccaneers tight end Cam Brate on Sunday in Pittsburgh is a relief. “He has a sprained neck,” said Bowles. Medical personnel strapped Brate to a stabilizing board, took him off the field on a cart and transported him to a nearby Pittsburgh hospital. “It turned out great for him,” said Bowles, obviously referring to how frightening the initial scene was after Brate was injured. It relieved a lot of people’s minds.”For more News about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit: www.buccaneers.com

That obviously suggests that the outcome could have been different if the team had just one or two things better during the course of the game. The rushing attack ranks last in the league in both yards per game and yards per carry. “Short yardage is another topic we’ve got to get better at, offensively especially,” said Head Coach Todd Bowles on Monday. The Bucs also stalled on third-and-two on their next drive and on third-and-one early in the fourth period. Goedeke is trying to fill the big shoes of Ali Marpet, who elected to retire after eight seasons.

Todd Bowles defended Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady after Sunday's loss to the Steelers, saying he does not receive "special treatment."

Todd Bowles isn't pleased with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after falling to 3-3 following Sunday's loss to the Steelers, but he's not singling any one person out.

It’s not difficult to see why the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are off to a disappointing 3-3 start. Tom Brady and a talented but struggling offense have not performed at a consistently high level, particularly in the red zone. A normally reliable defense hasn’t played well, either, during a stretch in which the Bucs have lost three of four games.

After Sunday’s defeat, Head Coach Todd Bowles did not say his team was coasting on its reputation, but he certainly seemed to warn against the possibility. “I think, you know, we didn’t earn it,” said Brady after Sunday’s loss. “We didn’t earn the win. I don’t think we’ve done it for six weeks. To Bowles, that is irrelevant, as is any talk of how much success Tampa Bay has had in recent years.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate suffered a neck injury during the team's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, just two weeks after he suffered a concussion.

Tampa Bay receiver Mike Evans has been suspended without pay for one game for his role in a scuffle that resulted in him and New Orleans cornerback Marshon Lattimore being ejected from the Buccaneers-Saints game.

(AP Photo/Lynne Sladky)TAMPA, Fla. – Tampa Bay’s defense finished its redemption tour with a Super Bowl championship. Brees and the Saints beat Tampa Bay twice during the regular season. By taking down Mahomes in the Super Bowl, the Bucs (15-5) avenged three of their five losses. He also took exception with Tampa Bay having only one Pro Bowl selection on its roster, linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul. “One Pro Bowl player and the team goes on to win the Super Bowl?

(AP Photo/Ashley Landis)TAMPA, Fla. – Seconds after linebacker Devin White intercepted a pass in the end zone, Tampa Bay coach Bruce Arians started doling out hugs. Arians unplugged his headset, slipped on a Super Bowl championship hat and braced for the traditional Gatorade shower. Together, Arians and the 43-year-old Brady helped Tampa Bay win its first championship in 18 years and cemented their spot in the franchise history books. He took a year off and worked in television before returning to the NFL with Tampa Bay — joining a young team he saw as full of potential. His biggest coup was landing Brady, who engineered yet another masterpiece and won his seventh Super Bowl after six titles with the Patriots.

The Buccaneers didn't even give him time to skim their defense in the Super Bowl. He was 26 of 49 for 270 yards and two interceptions in a 31-9 blowout that denied the Chiefs back-to-back titles. “They had a good game plan,” said Mahomes, whose quarterback rating of 52.3 was by far the worst of his career. The first-half numbers were striking: Mahomes was 9 of 19 for 67 yards, while Tampa Bay counterpart Tom Brady had dominated the Chiefs defense for 140 yards passing and three TDs in staking the Buccaneers to a 21-6 lead. “To the last snap,” Reid said, “he was trying to win that football game.”It was just that kind of night for Mahomes.

Both coordinators were highly respected candidates for the seven vacant head coaching jobs when the regular season concluded in January. Instead, despite a shift in hiring practices in the NFL over the years, nepotism and the “good old boys” network continued to put up barriers to the head coaching role. In fact, in a league where approximately 70 percent of players are black, the NFL’s 32 teams opened the 2020 season in September with only three black head coaches. According to an Arizona State University study, the number of head coaches of color has fluctuated since the Rooney Rule was implemented in 2003. You shouldn’t have to force people to routinely make bad decisions to have to make one.”The ASU report, “Field Studies: A 10-Year Snapshot of NFL Coaching Hires”, analyzed hiring trends and looked for patterns over ten years, from the 2009–10 NFL season through the 2018–19 season.

The 43-year-old six-time Super Bowl champion may no longer be the best quarterback in the NFL, however, he’s shown in his first season with the Bucs that he’s still good enough to lead a team to the NFL title game.

The third-year pro and the rest of Tampa Bay’s young secondary was dominated by Tyreek Hill during the regular season and are eager to redeem themselves against the speedy Kansas City Chiefs receiver in the Super Bowl. Hill had 13 receptions for 269 yards and three touchdowns in a 27-24 victory over the Bucs on Nov. 29. “I play defensive back in the NFL, so you’re going to have your share of losses. I’m going to continue to be a dog and go out there and give it my all,” Davis said.

(Steve Sanders/Kansas City Chiefs via AP)KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The casual football fan is likely to describe the Kansas City Chiefs offense this way: a go-for-broke, throw-it-deep highlight reel built around a quarterback with record-setting arm strength and wide receivers boasting Olympic-caliber speed. Some might call all those dink-and-dunk throws “check downs.”AdGiven the Chiefs are playing for a second straight Super Bowl tile Sunday?

(AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, File)Eric Bieniemy has become the cause celebre when it comes to minority assistants who have been denied the opportunity to become NFL head coaches. “I did not ask be the poster boy of this particular situation that I have experienced,” Bieniemy said Tuesday. “I don’t understand everything, I am not an owner, I don’t sit in those meetings to interview head coaches,” Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said. Bieniemy isn’t alone when it comes to minority coordinators in the Super Bowl who didn’t get a head coaching offer this offseason.

“He was determined to get it by any means, wouldn’t let failure be an option,” Barrett recounted. Barrett will have a starting — and maybe starring — role in Super Bowl 55 when the Buccaneers (14-5) face Mahomes and the reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs (16-2) Sunday at Raymond James Stadium. Barrett had a monster debut in Tampa, collecting an NFL-best 19½ sacks, forcing six fumbles and earning his first Pro Bowl nod in 2019. Mahomes remembers Barrett in Denver as a player who never let quarterbacks exhale whenever Miller or Chubb tapped out for a breather. He’s got great speed, he’s got great power, he’s got a ton of moves,” Remmers said.

Tampa Bay gets another shot at Hill and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 7, 2021.
