Rachaad White: Todd Bowles would be "better off" letting someone else call defense

Running back Rachaad White, who has been with the Buccaneers for four seasons, expressed his views on the team's management, particularly concerning head coach Todd Bowles. White suggested on the Loose Cannons podcast that Bowles should delegate defensive play-calling duties to focus solely on head coaching responsibilities. White believes this change would benefit both Bowles and the team. The Buccaneers recently dismissed two assistants and saw another retire after ranking 20th in points allowed during the 2025 season. However, they have not indicated plans to hire a traditional defensive coordinator, although they are seeking new offensive and special teams coordinators. White, who is entering free agency, acknowledged the difficulty of reconstructing a staff mid-stream and questioned whether a complete overhaul might be necessary. His candid remarks may impact his chances of re-signing with the team.
