Buccaneers Fire OC Josh Grizzard, QB Coach
The Buccaneers ended a four-year division title streak after finishing 21st in total offense and losing 7 of their last 8 games, leading to Grizzard's dismissal.
- On Jan 8, 2026, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles fired offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard and quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis, ESPN and NFL Network reported.
- Facing offensive struggles and injuries, Tampa Bay Buccaneers finished 21st in total offense and lost seven of their final nine games, with key players Tristan Wirfs, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Bucky Irving sidelined.
- Grizzard, promoted in January 2025 after prior roles with the Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins, took over from Liam Coen; Baker Mayfield now faces his fourth offensive coordinator in four seasons.
- Baker Mayfield will now have a new play-caller after Grizzard's firing, and once the new offensive coordinator is hired, that coach will help fill the quarterbacks coach vacancy.
- Analysts warn that Tampa Bay offensive pipeline has produced coordinators who became head coaches, but a new play caller risks resetting chemistry and must build around Baker Mayfield's strengths.
