Overview

  • Further changes were reported across the staff, including special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey, defensive backs coach Kevin Ross, and defensive line coach Charlie Strong.
  • The Buccaneers have opened another offensive coordinator search, with reported candidates Nathan Scheelhaase, Todd Monken and Zac Robinson under consideration.
  • Bowles confirmed he will return for 2026 after an 8-9 finish that included seven losses in the final nine games and missing the playoffs on a three-way NFC South tiebreaker.
  • The team regressed to 21st in total offense and tied for 20th in points allowed, and longtime offensive consultant Tom Moore retired after a 62-year coaching career.
