Bucs Bet on Bowles Despite Collapse

0:00It's April 3rd. This is NFL News today, powered by AI, your Gridiron update. I'm Cory with the story. Tevbe Buccaneer's head coach Todd Bowles is sticking around for the 2026 season. Even after fans lit him up for that brutal collapse. At the end of 2025, the team drops seven of their last nine games, finishing eight and nine and missing the playoffs after starting strong at six and two. Owners with the Glazer family see the bigger picture though. Bowles has snagged the NFC South title three times and notched a playoff win back in 2023. Co-owner Joel Glazer says, everybody's gunning for the Super Bowl every year, but you got to weigh the whole body of work year in and year out. Fans are still fuming, and yeah, injuries hit hard to stars like Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and others down the stretch. But a lot of folks point out the Bucks actually got healthier late, yet kept losing close ones, which fuels the fire on coaching calls, dig deeper.

1:00And you see major staff shakeups after the season offensive and special teams coordinators got the boot, marking the fifth offensive coordinator in five years under Bulls. That's a red flag on stability, no doubt. Time will tell if this bet on bulls pays off come 2026, but right now, Buccaneer's nation stays split on whether he's the guy to get them back to contending.
