So, Who Is The Mystery Team(s)?
January 7th, 2026
Joe isn’t trying to start some conspiracy here or go full-blown Tom Clancy. But when Joe read the following, the question needed to be asked.
Joe is confident everyone reading this here story on this here corner of the interwebs knows Super Bowl-winning coach John Harbaugh was launched yesterday by the Crows. Joe guesses it was for the sin of his kicker missing a game-winning field goal Sunday night that would have clinched another playoff berth for Baltimore.
Various reports, including from Dianna Russini of The Athletic suggest Baltimore suits tried to stiff arm Harbaugh into firing Crows offensive coordinator Todd Monken and Harbaugh refused.
In the wake of the explosive news, NFL uber insider Adam Schefter reported interesting details about suitors for Harbaugh’s services that made Joe’s antennae stand straight up.
Per Schefter, Harbaugh’s agent said seven teams contacted him within 45 minutes of news of Harbaugh’s firing becoming public.
So why does Joe think this is interesting? There are currently seven head coach openings in the league. We sure as heck know Harbaugh isn’t going back to Baltimore.
Hhhmmm?
So who is this mystery team?
However, the plot thickens: Russini then Twittered that multiple teams currently with head coaches in place have reached out to Harbaugh’s people.
Double-hhhmmm?
And no, as of midnight Tuesday night, there has been no word leaked about the scheduled meeting this week between Team Glazer and Bucs coach Todd Bowles.
And no, Joe doesn’t know what to make of Emily Mayfield liking Schefter’s report on Instagram that so many teams are reaching out to Harbaugh.
In the first 45 minutes after John Harbaugh was fired this afternoon, his agent Bryan Harlan said he received calls from seven NFL teams expressing interest in his client.

Emily gets it at least.
January 7th, 2026 at 12:06 am
So many fans are hoping we’re in the 7. For me? I’m somewhere between ok and meh after the Smith-Koeter experience.
January 7th, 2026 at 12:11 am
Unless the Glazers are the absolute dumbest of all sport team owners, they did!
January 7th, 2026 at 12:14 am
Anyone else here that keeps refreshing this feed wanting to read the headline The Toilet is Canned?
January 7th, 2026 at 12:14 am
Only thing that does intrigue me just a little is that John still creates decent defense and run game, which is the historical foundation of this franchise. Would rather have young, new minds with new schemes that bring an innovative oc with them. And I’m also a true believer that defense wins championships.
January 7th, 2026 at 12:14 am
I have no doubt the Glazers called. I don’t think they want to fire Bowles unless they know for certain they’re getting an upgrade – and this obviously is an upgrade. I think the Glazers share the same concerns I have about going from one middling coach to another, and getting stuck with that new coach for years. Tampa is not the draw people think, not with Baker at QB, he’s way too inconsistent for any hot young prospect to bet his future on.
I also think the Glazers want to see what happens with Tomlin, if he ends up getting the boot if the Steelers lose in the 1st round. OR, if I’m the Glazers, and the Steelers lose this weekend, I’m actively calling to trade for Tomlin, see if you can catch the Steelers when they’ve gone full emo after a loss, if it happens.
January 7th, 2026 at 12:15 am
Lovie smith is not John Harbough..
January 7th, 2026 at 12:17 am
@ Vancouver:
Yes lol. Did the same when Gruden was let go all those years ago while this site was in it’s beginning.
January 7th, 2026 at 12:20 am
@ Buccnasty, talking about Mike Smith.
January 7th, 2026 at 12:24 am
@ Rod Munch:
I hear you. Glazers still kick themselves to this day over Tomlin. I actually would put Tomlin a little higher in my want for a coach but not a lot higher. We need something new, something the rest of the league isn’t predicting or ready for scheme wise. I’ll keep dreaming 😉
January 7th, 2026 at 12:29 am
You want to know what a owner sounds like after collapsing
The Colts owner Carly. I can get behind that type of fire.🤙🏾
January 7th, 2026 at 12:37 am
Yawn. Bowles is safe
January 7th, 2026 at 12:38 am
If this is what gets Todd outta here, I am all for it.
What I like about Harbaugh, is he will have an OC and DC.
We have seen a lot of poor decision making from Harbaugh though in games as well, including Sunday night. Always try to make the kick shorter man, you had the ability. That was some Bowles type conservative crap.
Without knowing a whole lot about them, I think I like the Udinski and LaFleur names that are out there.
If we end up with a Harbaugh, Monken, Schwartz combo or Harbaugh Scheelhaase Flores combo… something along those lines, I will be happy. Seems like a pipe dream, any of this happening but fingers crossed.
January 7th, 2026 at 12:38 am
Yes please! Come on Glazers….
January 7th, 2026 at 12:39 am
Harbaugh and Monken as a package deal Do it!
January 7th, 2026 at 12:44 am
And if Harbaugh wants to select his own GM, I am down with that too.
January 7th, 2026 at 12:47 am
Current vacancies: giants, cardinals, titans, browns, raiders…. The Bucs.. have more talent. Have the best qb. Have the easiest division…. If you were harbaugh, it’s a no-brainer . You sprint to One Buc and sign, and bring monkin with you.
January 7th, 2026 at 12:48 am
Does it help at all that Harbaughs daughter attends classes at USF? This needs to happen by the time I wake up!
January 7th, 2026 at 12:53 am
The Bucs ought to find a few pairs of fine khaki pants to dangle out in front of Harbaugh and see if they get a bite. Nothing gets those Harbaugh boys snapping like a fine pair o’ khakis. They shower in those things. They also put effective coverage shells on the field regularly. Maybe it’s the pants and the Glazers think they can just fit Bowles with some big-boy pants like the Harbaugh boys wear and then we get to see defense! Real defense!
Or just have Bowles take the ego hit and hire a DC. Anybody.
January 7th, 2026 at 12:55 am
Oahu Jimothy, Harbaugh’s daughter isn’t at USF anymore.
She’s in Chicago now…
January 7th, 2026 at 12:56 am
Not Tom Clancy
January 7th, 2026 at 12:57 am
Anyone who buys tickets to go see a Bowles-coached Bucs team part of the problem.
January 7th, 2026 at 12:57 am
Harbaugh’s daughter is now in law school in Chicago
January 7th, 2026 at 1:01 am
If Jason hires John Harbaugh and he brings Todd Monken along, i just might go into the closet with a jar of bacon fat and a bottle of scotch and not come out for…………..a long time……………….
January 7th, 2026 at 1:08 am
What’s behind door number #2
And #3-7 while we’re at it
January 7th, 2026 at 1:11 am
I think Bowles isgonna. Way way too many of us agree. They see the bottome line.Who the hell is excited to go watch another Todd blows the game Bowles season. Fans dont want gim anymore. Go away please I beg of thee to be gone
January 7th, 2026 at 1:11 am
I think you guys need to start wrapping your head around around he’s not going anywhere.🤷🏾♂️🤙🏾
January 7th, 2026 at 1:21 am
I don’t think that I have ever seen coach go up to a group of players and talk with them when they’re fning up, have u guys ?
January 7th, 2026 at 1:31 am
@Daryl Green:
Nope, my wife says all the time that Todd has no fire what so ever and that it’s the reason our team doesn’t get fired up when things are on the line. She’s absolutely right! When things are great or horrible, he has the same emotion, literally…….. nothing! These guys need someone to light that fire! All we have at the moment is Baker to do that. Baker needs that too though.
January 7th, 2026 at 1:40 am
Any dumbass owner to keep Todd Bowles or hire John Harbaugh or Raheem Morris while the greatest coach in the history of the NFL is available deserves to lose. BILL BELICHICK!
January 7th, 2026 at 1:41 am
I am more afraid that Arthur Blank will get Harbaugh. That guy is 4-0 against the Bucs. Glazers better be serious about bringing him to Tampa. This could be a package deal with Monken. I don’t think Tomlin is going anywhere this season.
January 7th, 2026 at 1:44 am
Bottom line, the fans of this franchise have always pined for retreads that had their heyday and don’t have any answers for the ever evolving NFL. New scheme and a fiery coach is what I feel is the real answer. Otherwise, just stick with Todd, he’s a great guy and maybe something better happens?
January 7th, 2026 at 1:50 am
Jason is not sharing his power like this. So if this happens it’s with a new GM. I think it’s unlikely. Too much undoing when you still have platform-talent in many positions: Winfield, Wirfs, Ebuka, Vea, YaYa, and Bucky. Baker might not be TB, but he won 6 out of those games on his own, kept us alive in a couple and lost the rest, we could hold that against him, but really, specially when we lost, it was all on him. Rewatch th SF game, also Houston and Seattle. A new GM also means most of these players might go.
On Sunday I thought that was it. Thanks Coach… Now I think we have another year of bad tackling. It’s just too much to undo. If anything, Licht stays and brings some promising coach. But I don’t see clear candidates.
January 7th, 2026 at 2:14 am
rod munchkin:
Tampa is not the draw people think, not with Baker at QB, he’s way too inconsistent for any hot young prospect to bet his future on.
__________________________________
you can keep saying this over and over but that doesn’t make it true. baker had over 4500 yds, 40 tds, 70% completion last season and through the first part of this season was playing at the same or better level until there were too many injuries to overcome. he’s been in the upper tier of qb almost every season but two-and one of those he played the whole season with a broken shoulder.
he’s well-liked by a lot of coaches, offensive coordinators, and players and is known to be a great leader in the locker room. but even if all of that wasn’t true, he only has one year left on his contract. he’s far more likely to be seen as an asset for coaches considering tampa bay than an impediment to them. foh.
January 7th, 2026 at 2:20 am
The Ravens tried hard to sign Baker back in 2023 when contract negotiations with Lamar were breaking down badly. He would’ve been their starter had Lamar left. Baker declined because he knew Lamar would eventually re-up.
John Harbaugh went up against Baker twice a year when he was with the Browns and the Ravens and Browns had some wildly competitive games. Baker and Harbs know each other well.
If Baker wasn’t a “draw” then Harbaugh and the Ravens wouldn’t have tried signing him.
I’m convinced Rod Munch has nightmares about Baker in his sleep.
January 7th, 2026 at 2:32 am
So obvious that Toad has worn out his welcome. Nobody wants him back! Not the players, and definitely not the fans. Apparently the star QB’s wife (who is most likely serving as his advocate) has the same opinion as the rest of Buc Nation. See ya Todd!
January 7th, 2026 at 2:36 am
Matt Nagy or Jay Gruden as OC. Harbaugh is a blowhard drunkard
January 7th, 2026 at 2:37 am
It is pretty simple. It means that she can’t stand (most surely despises) Mr. Todd Bowles. 💯
January 7th, 2026 at 2:46 am
I’m not renewing my season tickets if it’s Harbaugh. I’m not sitting through another Lovie Smith type of hire. Not after Bowles.
January 7th, 2026 at 2:49 am
harbaugh X monken > tomlin X skunkin’
do it…do it
January 7th, 2026 at 3:16 am
Harbaugh is a jerk. In other words, perfect for the low IQ Joes
January 7th, 2026 at 3:34 am
I’d much rather have Stafanski ALL DAY LONG, over Old “HAIRBALL” (as “Phyllis” from “The PAWL Finebaum Show” used to call his brother LoL). I have not been a huge HAIRBALL FAN, over the last several years. HE’s just an old ‘special teams’ coach and more of a “Defensive Guy.” NOT an ‘offensive mind’ at ALL, and has seemed kind of LAZY and LOST at times, later in his career. Stefanski, on the other hand, a 2X “Coach of the Year” IN CLEVELAND of all places, is an “Offensive-Guy” thru and THRU. Plus, Stefanski is STILLLLL ONLY 43 years-old. Old man HAIRBALL… How Bout “63.” OLDER than Todd Bowles. His best days are way behind him. The game has PASSED HIM BY. And, it is REALLY HARD on an OLD “Defensive-Minded” (old ‘special teams’ really) Head Coach.
And, it’s the wrong HAIRBALL. “Jim” was the one I said to GO GET. But, as SOON as I heard that the “Spanos Family” was FINALLY open to be willing to PAY FOR a “Head Coach” FOR ONCE, I knew then that it was OVER. That there was just nooooo way in HELL, that Jim was ever going to chose BAKER OVER HERBERT. That was a RAP. Though, it never really mattered anyway, since the Glazers were NEVER going to let TODD GO in the first place. But, they should’ve… IF they were SMART and truly gave a DAMN. Then, they ended up passing on COHEN, TOO. You have to BE READY and ALWAYS ‘Looking’ To IMPROVE.
HAIRBALL is NOT really a strong motivator (at all). He’s SLOW. Can’t call PLAYS. All he would be is just a “Manager” basically, and I am NOT very confident in HIM being “ELITE” at that anymore. The game seems to have passed him by, really for SEVERAL YEARS now!!!! Now, of course, EVERYONE over at ESPN is going to tell you all about just “HOW GREAT” HE IS and everything. Just the same as they always do with almost EVERY OTHER friggin’ Coach. It’s THEIR JOB to constantly ‘suck up’ and to lick the ass of all these fockers. It’s just what they DO. They are there to totally MAKE FRIENDS, Be Cool and ‘HIP’ while gaining CONNECTIONS. It’s a CLUB. Members ONLY.
I hope the Bucs are VERY ‘skeptical’ of him. There are MUCH better options, as of right now. There hasn’t been a whole lot of coaches in the league, who has done LESS with MORE, than what John Harbaugh has done throughout his career. And, that’s just a FACT. One of (if not THE) Most ‘Well-Run’ ORGANIZATIONS, in the entire league, and in all of ‘professional’ SPORTS. He’s an OLD “Special Teams” Guy, who DOESN’T CALL PLAYS. I see ZERO ‘upside’ with hiring HIM. It’s JUST a “name” is all… HIS ‘Brother’ is by farrrrr and away, the MUCH BETTER Coach. Do NOT Get THEM Confused. A LOT of people do. It would be soooo Shortsighted. It would be a horrible move. A BAD MISTAKE. It would completely TANK US to the bottom. Hell, HE doesn’t wanna “coach” anymore. He doesn’t have THAT FIRE. He’s DONE. We would end up with the #1-overall pick by the 2028-Draft.
Now, IF they were to get the ‘right’ GM and HC (Lanning, Stefanski, Steichen, or something similar)… Then, HELL YEAH. You can count ME IN’ on THAT. A total fresh rebuild 💯. It won’t take very long, at ALL. Not in THIS current NFL. You can get ‘real good’ in a HURRY, with the ‘RIGHT’ (strong) LEADERSHIP. Just look around, all over the league right now… Denver, Jacksonville, New England, AND both Houston and San Diego did-it too, just a couple of years ago… And, have sustained-it. Now, Chicago. EVEN, Indy earlier this season, until “Danny Dimes” was injured… Hell, Seattle and CAROLINA… ALL IMMEDIATELY. There are usually about 5 or 6-NEW Teams that will make the Playoffs EVERY YEAR… At least 1 or 2 will go from Worst to First!?
It’s NOT HARD. Just one or two SOLID DRAFTS, and a STRONG Free-Agency Class or Two, and YOU ARE COMPLETELY BACK IN. There are various different paths to take in order to get THERE, but it ALL STARTS with the GM and HC. If LICKT CAN’T get-it done and actually close the deal on landing a ‘top-tier’ head coaching candidate, then HE’s GOT TO GO. Period. End of Story. The Pressure HAS TO BE ON. 93-104. 12-YEARS. I mean, noooo ONE gets that type of runway, and total pass. 💯
January 7th, 2026 at 3:45 am
We all know agents say stupid stuff, there may have been no calls, or a couple, but the agent wanting to buff it up says ” oh we’ve had ..{how many openings are there? 7?} we’ve had 7 calls already.”
That’s very possible. One thing ive learned as I got older, people are stupid.
January 7th, 2026 at 4:12 am
It’s exciting and after reading comments on here late; I didn’t sleep too well last night dreaming about the Bucs. Ya, it was a strange dream lol.
I am on the fence with the possibility of Harbaugh coming here. It’s exciting and has got that Gruden and Brady vibe with maybe a surprise coming. And it could all fizzle too.
He hasn’t brought the Ravens back to a SB and he is the same age as Todd. His last SB was 2013. If players are not relating to him, they may not here either.
Yes, it’s the Harbaugh name, but what else has been happening? And maybe John would like to retire, and it could be here.
But do we want retirement mode or someone young, feisty, bold, progressive, and relates to the players heading our team? I am just happy I am not the Glazers needing to make this decision.
January 7th, 2026 at 4:29 am
The Athletic is a trash rag. The other team was the Dolphins.
January 7th, 2026 at 4:36 am
Bruce Arians said on Pat McAfee show yesterday that a couple of teams had called him asking about coaches. He said that if a team was smart they would hire former GB and Dallas coach Mike McCarthy. Makes you wonder.
January 7th, 2026 at 4:44 am
@ TheBig Guava – just another reason proving that the OLD “Buddy-Buddy” System in TB has run its course, and has become VERY stale. Time to end-it, IMMEDIATELY. Clean House. Start FRESH.
January 7th, 2026 at 5:14 am
OMG!!!!! Hire him!!!!!!!
January 7th, 2026 at 5:29 am
There is one certainty and one uncertainty.
If the Bucs change the HC we cant be certain what the results will be either you get Harbaugh or someone else. It could be better it could be worse.
But there is a certainty.
If the Bucs keep Bowles we know what we will see. The same things we are seeing all these years.
QBs sitting comfortable in the pocket and pick the Defense apart.
WRs running wide open in the middle of the field making uncontested catches because the closest defender is 5 yds away.
A Defense that will be bottom 10.
We will see the same things because Coach Bowles refuses to make changes.
Changes in scheme.
Changes in philosophy.
Chamges in personnel.
Changes in game planning, game situtations.
Changes in coaching stuff.
The only changes we have see is forced because another team wanted a coach.
Even with this seasons debacle of ST we didnt see a change in coaching, we just saw a white flag by kicking the ball out of the end zone.
I dont know why no changes are happenning, its because he thinks he knows better or because he is loyal? I dont know but changes are NOT happenning.
So the question is, are the Bucs want to see the same things or they want to see something different?
Go Bucs
January 7th, 2026 at 6:07 am
@Vancouver Buc you mean the Bowles are flushed?
January 7th, 2026 at 6:20 am
This is a perfect example in which the agent embellishes the interest level in order to drive up his price. Bring Monken with him to the Bucs. One thing for sure, our special teams would be vastly improved
January 7th, 2026 at 6:23 am
Christos is exactly right. Hiring any coach is uncertain. You know exactly what you get by retaining Toad. Successful people, and successful owners in sports, take chances. Hiring a new coach is taking a chance. There are no guarantees of success. However, if you keep Toad, you are guaranteed NOT to be successful.
January 7th, 2026 at 6:23 am
@simeon4hof- you stalking Harbaughs daughter now??
January 7th, 2026 at 6:35 am
You’d have to think it’s one of two Florida teams.
January 7th, 2026 at 6:40 am
Besides the plethora of weapons the Bucs have on offense and a few key players on defense, the reason that Tampa and Atlanta are big draws for coaches is that the division is pretty easy to win. There are no perennial powerhouses in the NFC South to unseat.
January 7th, 2026 at 6:46 am
Emily, my gal!
January 7th, 2026 at 6:47 am
Doesn’t matter who we have as a coach, we still have the inconsistent QB, baker (I’m hurt) mayfield……..you are always talking about Bowels win-loss percentage, take a look at your boys………oh that’s right he’s hurt!!!
January 7th, 2026 at 6:54 am
He’s going to the Giants.
January 7th, 2026 at 6:57 am
Dream on. Not happening. We’ll just have to hope 8-9 is good enough to win division. Other 3 teams seem to be improving some, so I’d say no.
January 7th, 2026 at 7:08 am
Vancouver Buc Says:

ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 7th, 2026 at 7:09 am
Harbaugh sideline fire in the belly > Todd Bowles pulseless stoicism. So over “that look”. You guys know what I’m talking about. The look Todd has regardless of the playing circumstances. The look of a man viewing a pot of water yet to boil. The look of a man holding a doggie poop bag waiting for a constipated dog to finally do his business. The look of a man dunking a hard chocolate chip cookie in milk waiting for absorption to happen after losing yet another Bucs football game and being eliminated from the playoffs.
You know. THAT uninspired look.
Well Glazers, “Inspire change!”
January 7th, 2026 at 7:15 am
lol! Glazers way too cheap to pay Bowles for 3 more years and pay top dollar for a new HC and staff. Never. Gonna. Happen. It’s Bowles for at least one more year.
January 7th, 2026 at 7:21 am
The NFL keeps preaching to Inspire Change – go for it Glazers.
January 7th, 2026 at 7:24 am
Keep that skating phony Tomlin the hell away from the Bucs. He took the western PA out of Steeler football and the the trouble with interchangeable free agents is that they are not Steelers. They just don’t get it. Same goes for Harbaugh.
January 7th, 2026 at 7:24 am
This is taking WAY too long. It makes the Glazers look bad. Someone in management needs to make the right decision.
January 7th, 2026 at 7:25 am
One advantage of hiring Harbaugh would be that the Bucs would not have to give up draft picks to get a good coach, just a lot of Glazer loot. However, Harbaugh would probably want more control over personnel matters, draft picks, etc. Would GM Jason Licht be okay with that?
January 7th, 2026 at 7:25 am
Harbaugh (HC)+Monken (OC)+Flores (DC)= I’m in!!
Then I can start looking for a Bears/Lions season tix holders on life support so I can buy their tix for next yrs games without mortgaging the house. But if Todd stays, taking th3 family somewher3 warm
January 7th, 2026 at 7:27 am
Hiring Harbaugh (a legit proven leader, ala BA) should buy Licht at least another 5 yrs and nudge him over his career 0.500 line
January 7th, 2026 at 7:35 am
Maybe Derrick Henry would want to come with Harbaugh.
January 7th, 2026 at 7:37 am
I wouldn’t give Harbaugh too much control over the roster. Ravens offense draft picks not good at all
January 7th, 2026 at 7:41 am
they need to move fast
January 7th, 2026 at 7:43 am
I would really prefer that we try and find a young offensive coordinator that we can pair a young qb with that can grow together.
Getting Harbaugh reminds me of Arians in the sense that it’s a short term solution. How may more years will he want to do this?
But if it means getting rid of Todd, and hopefully by association Arians influence over the org, I’m all for it.
January 7th, 2026 at 8:08 am
That Emily Mayfield took an “indirect” shot at Todd Bowles is very big news! And its impact cannot be understated. This was calculated and must have had Baker’s endorsement. Emily’s “chess move” is almost analogous to Lamar Jackson’s ambiguous post-game comments about Harbaugh’s future with the Ravens. Two days later, Harbaugh was gone.
If Bowles stays, there will surely be acrimony between the Mayfields and Todd Bowles. How can there not be ?!?
The plot thickens and the clock keeps ticken’!
Kudos to Emily Mayfield. Thank you, Emily.
January 7th, 2026 at 8:18 am
Forget Harbaugh. He has a great team in the Ravens and still end up not making the playoffs. Compared it to the Bucs roster, it’s full of sh*t players.
January 7th, 2026 at 8:23 am
Well even IF Todd stays, Monken is freed up
(I read somewhere last night that Harbaigh was launched because he reFUSED to fire Monken?)
January 7th, 2026 at 8:33 am
Trying to line up a hire when you don’t have an opening is very tricky. And the Glazers tried it before and got burned (Parcells) twice. So they aren’t likely to make a risky move like that.
January 7th, 2026 at 8:37 am
Monken wants it he will be made a HC. If he doesn’t, the Harbaugh Monken combo would be just what the Buc’s need!
January 7th, 2026 at 8:41 am
Harbaugh, Stefanski, Shula, Kubiak, Brady. I’d take any of those guys over Bowles and his crappy staff. Let the house cleaning begin Glazers. We’re all getting impatient.
January 7th, 2026 at 8:56 am
What are we? 12 year old girls getting gitty bc a boy liked our photo?
Grasping at straws with that one…
I guess the off season has official arrived with these kind of stories
January 7th, 2026 at 9:12 am
It’s likely more than one team. Word in Atlanta is they made their plans weeks ago to clean house and rebuild and restructure the entire organization. Raheem was a dead man walking for at least a 4 game win streak. I think Atlanta already has a coach plan before this news and aren’t likely to change it.
January 7th, 2026 at 9:22 am
Harbaugh is going to Cleveland…
They’ll give him complete control and a 10year 150 million dollar contract fully guaranteed lol
GO BUCS!!!!
January 7th, 2026 at 9:36 am
Glazers are from Baltimore and I remember when they bought the team there was talk of moving the Buccaneers to Baltimore. Joe, any thoughts that the Blazers have had connections to people who may know Harbaugh??
January 7th, 2026 at 9:37 am
1. A sustained winning culture needs to be established. Under Bowles they didn’t have other then losing to weak teams with rookie and backup QB’s; and barely winning the division title in the weakest NFL conference 3 times.
2. They have decent to outstanding talent but the coaching has been subpar. Players aren’t playing competitively in games and apparently aren’t held accountable.
3. And does any one think Bowles’ recent statements tell the TEAM, FANS, GM, and OWNERS that he is engaged, has a plan for improvemnt etc.?
4. The ownership and GM need to get in gear or there won’t be any good coaches out there. Stefanski and Harbaugh are top flight people.
5. Did Liam Coen know something about the future for2025 season or just get lucky with opportunity to coach the Jags? Obviously the man has something on the ball coachwise despite the manner he departed.
January 7th, 2026 at 9:45 am
is he fired yet// please God help us
January 7th, 2026 at 9:55 am
Good detective work here Joe, it is very veery interesting. I would like to see Harbaugh, Monken and whoever they bring installed in TB.
January 7th, 2026 at 10:08 am
Vancouver…the majority yes.
January 7th, 2026 at 10:44 am
I’m looking for more of a youth movement with a HC that will attack and reload the Buc offense. Bowles is a big problem and needs to be replaced already.
His staff is terrible. They never corrected the tackling issues.
They never corrected the mistakes in secondary. Giving up that bomb with less than a minute before halftime is as inexcusable as Green Bay giving up the Brady to Scotty Miller bomb in the win over Packers that propelled Bucs to Superbowl.
The lack of having serviceable backup offensive linemen or finding some was a disaster for the Bucs.
Not throwing the ball downfield to the 2 greatest Buc receivers of all time, Evans and Godwin vs Carolina, New Orleans and Atlanta just cost the Bucs a 4 seed in playoffs.
Bowles missed his opportunity to retain his job. His time has come to move on. 4 years and 1 playoff win with a team mismanaged by him in every national prime time game isn’t what Buc Nation deserves.

Nick2 – The Glazers have strong roots in Rochester NY too. I grew up and went to college in the area. I believe their dad was born there too and they owned real estate in the area.

I’m not buying season tickets anymore. I just refuse to spend my time and money to watch and get frustrated and disappointed all the time.
Harbaugh would energize the team bring quality coaches in, and that would bring better players wanting to play for the Bucs. It’s good business winning, money made enough said.

I wonder how many teams would be reaching out to Todd Bowles within 45 minutes if he were let go. I’m going to guess it’s somewhere between zero and zero.
