Buccaneers fire offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard, QB coach Thad Lewis

Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles will remain with the team through 2026 but has decided to dismiss key offensive staff. Offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard and quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis have both been relieved of their duties. Grizzard, who served as pass game coordinator in 2024, was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2025 after Liam Coen became head coach of the Jaguars. Despite a strong start to the 2025 season, the Buccaneers' offense struggled as the year progressed, prompting the changes. Quarterback Baker Mayfield is entering the final year of his contract, and Bowles aims to find a new offensive leader to maximize Mayfield's performance, which is crucial for both their futures in Tampa Bay.
