Todd Bowles Explains Game Demeanor, Personal Workout
May 24th, 2025
There are reasons why Todd Bowles is a stoic sideline figure. It’s not just how he is.
Bowles was a guest on Rooted In Progress, a WFLA-TV production, and explained that he’d like fans to know he is much more vocal than it looks during games.
Staying extra cool, per Bowles, is good for his team.
“On the field for me, it takes me a lot to get pissed off, but once I get there, there’s no coming back,” Bowles said.
“There’s going to be a blowup and there’s going to be a volcano and there are going to be casualties that are in my way; that’s going to be casualties for everything. And I think better when I’m calmer and I can stay three or four steps ahead, and the guys are calmer because we’re very young on the sidelines. So it’s important for me to be calm. Now I’ll talk during the week in practice; you know, the gloves are off. Everything is everything. In games, you’ve got to almost make adjustments almost every play, so you gotta have your wits about you and I understand that about me.
“Early in my career, I blew my top and I messed up the play after that. And I will never forget that. So that was a lesson for me in my younger coaching days, so it’s kind of how I kind of adapted it right now.”
Yeah, fans like watching the in-your-face sideline coaches, but that’s not key to championship.
Perhaps Bowles gets his sideline angst out on Monday mornings. The head coach explained you can find him in the gym.
“I work out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 3:30 a.m.,” Bowles said. “I do a cardio circuit weight-wise, and Tuesday and Thursday are big stretch days for me. And our strength coach has a program, but I’m in the weight room Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 3:30.”
Bowles may be a lot of things, but undisciplined is not one of them.

Hmmmmm. He is learning, getting better, adapting. Evolving… Is he perfect? Nope, nobody is! Will he be perfect for this team special this year? Possibly! Go Bowles!

People give Todd Bowles flack but he does more with less than most teams. Look how the defense cooked the Bengals last year.

I don’t care about his physical traits. It is his mental work that I am interested in. People on this platform blame baker on the playoff fumble. Well, I blame Bowels for his extensive use of JTS when even a dope like me sees JTS was worse than nothing. Our 4xx pound UDFA could have stood still over the middle and cause more damage than JTS. Yet, game after game out he trotted.

Great workout, now do push-aways, that’s push away from the plate…

Swiss cheese blah blah blah….
Give Todd a fairly healthy defense with actual NFL caliber players and we’ll see what’s what.
Nobody really knows what will happen next season but most fans still have Todd’s back and believe he’ll field a much better D this year. Hell, some of us actually believe he did a good job last season considering the circumstances.
Let’s go Todd 😎👍🏼

If the offense scores 34ppg the Bucs should be able to achieve 10 wins.

“Everything is everything.” Profound?
Not a Todd Bowles troll. In fact, I like his demeanor and the way he treats his players as grown ups. If you are looking for a charismatic coach TB isn’t your man. Hoping that his defense performs better this year. All we need is average and things will work out fine. Don’t think Licht did enough to address the defense in the draft and free agency. Anthony Walker is going to be the best surprise of offseason defensive moves. He is a solid and smart player. Biggest disappointment will be Reddick.

All I know is if we come up with a pass defense this year we have a good chance of being a legitimate Super Bowl contender. There’s really not too many holes on this team. Except the pass defense. Go Bucs!

I’ve been critical of Coach Bowles on this website. I’m not ashamed to admit that fact. I meant every word I posted and I don’t regret any of it.
But lately coach is, maybe evolving or growing or something. I’m not sure how to put it into words.
His comment about learning that offensive scores win games from a few weeks ago is huge in my mind!
Being calm and controlled in the heat of battle is good for the team in general, although, as a fan I dig the Gruden style outburts but as long as the Bucs win, I’m happy as a pea-lark
