What do the Bucs do this offseason?
I would start by firing Todd Bowles, to be honest with you.
And I don't say that in any mean-spirited way.
I don't have anything against Todd Bowles, but when you have a season like that, Where you lose seven of your last eight, before winning the season, the season finale there, barely beating the Panthers at home.
By the way, when everybody got healthy, this was not a... Well, like we talked about with Matt LaFleur a little bit ago and how he lost everybody and That, uh, okay, he struggled.
The Buccaneers got healthier as the season went On, Mike Evans came back.
Bucky Irving came back.
All these guys who had been out for Then the first half of the season came back, and they got significantly worse.
And I know there was a prominent report a couple of weeks ago that, "How dare you mention that Todd Bowles might be on the hot seat?"
Well, Because all he's been doing is winning a mediocre division for a few years.
And this year, when he had a chance to run away with the worst division in the NFL, He lost it, 8-9.
Baker Mayfield's play fell off a cliff.
Like, that team looked bad.
Like bad, like bottom-five bad in the, in the last half of the season.
So, I don't think it's a personnel thing.
I think they've got a lot of good players.
That roster's pretty good.
I...
I just...
I, I, uh...
If I were Bucs ownership, I'd be very, very frustrated with how that season went.
And I do think a coaching change is absolutely justifiable in this case.
