Todd Bowles Said He Doesn’t Hear Sports Radio Chatter

December 24th, 2025

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Man, Todd Bowles may be the most hated man in the Tampa Bay area since Vince Naimoli.

Joe dealt with both men. Bowles, as a person, is awesome. Naimoli, the former Rays owner? Wwweeellllll…

Turn on WDAE-AM 620 for one of the local drivetime shows, and it is hours of non-stop “Fire Bowles… Fire Bowles… Fire Bowles… “ One caller after the other. Non-stop. Call after call after call.

Joe can’t remember this degree of disdain on-air.

So surely with Bucs fans flooding social media — as Al Michaels would say — at full throat, screaming for Bowles’ head and sports radio callers all but overloading WDAE-AM’s servers with calls, texts and emails begging for Bowles to walk the plank at One Buc Palace, how does Bowles handle all of this braying?

Easy, Bowles said. He tunes out the outside world when he’s outside of One Buc Palace.

“I listen to nothing but music when I leave here,” Bowles said. “I made a pact when I started coaching to never listen to anything else.

“So outside noise to me is just outside noise. It’s the people in this building, what we talk about, what we do in this building.

“We’ve been through this before. We understand where we are. We just have to execute and play our game.”

Go ahead and surf video on TikTok of Bowles getting booed off the field after the Bucs lost the Dixie Chicks at home two weeks ago. Joe hasn’t heard anything like that since former Bucs commander Greg Schiano was on the Bucs’ sidelines.

Not sure how Bowles didn’t hear that.

It’s starting to get ugly. And heaven forbid if the Bucs lose to the Stinking Panthers a week from Sunday at home. That stadium may melt down.

    Apparently, he has pictures of

    1.) Ownership
    2.) Jason Licht

    Either that or it’s like that kline from See No Evil, Hear No Evil

    Are you freaking deaf? Well, yeah!!!
    Are you freaking blind? Well, yeah!!!

    Whistling through the graveyard. He’s says we’ve been here before like that’s a good thing. Losing streaks, and having to claw back from them is never a good thing. They should’ve put him, and us out of his misery already. Just don’t wait a month after the season Glazers.

  7. Joe in Michigan Says:

    I wonder if TJ Rives is still telling us to not be Bucs fans if we’re not in the Todd Bowles fan club.

  8. Nick Houllis Says:

    Wellcome to Tampa, where the fans think the team is Super Bowl bound when they EEK out a win last second by 3 points, or are ready to fire the coach when the team loses last second by 3 points.

    “We’ve been through this before.”

    We are well aware. Like every single season when you try your best to harpoon the season in the middle, only this season your team has seen through your BS and they’ve decide they want change too.

    Next excuse he’s gonna probably come up is gonna be something like dealing with low blood sugar or the beds in the hotel rooms were uncomfortable & nobody was able to go to sleep the night before.

  11. SB~LV Says:

    Clearly!

  12. #99 the big fella Says:

    TJ Rives should apologize for being wrong. Who the hell does he think he is anyway telling the fans to shut up about Bowles?

  13. SB~LV Says:

    TJ has always been a pompous egomaniac
    Going back to his earliest radio days in Tampa !
    I never cared for him and NEVER listened to him!

  14. BA’s Red Pen Says:

    Why would anyone listen to sports radio, it’s a cesspool of ignorance.

  15. FortMyersDave Says:

    Joe wrote that RJS will meltdown if the Bucs lose to the Panthers in 2 Sundays. Well, if the Bucs lose to Miami, which many believe Tampa will and if Carolina manages to upset a Seattle team travelling from the West Coast on Sunday, RJS might be empty as Carolina’s third string probably beats lame duck Bowles and his crew of underachievers in 2 Sundays. These last 3 losses have been putrid, Bowles is making excuses up to cover for his own ineptitude. This Miami game is not a give me. In fact, Bucs are favored by 5.5 points, I smell a trap. Wise person puts coin on Miami with the points, money line and also a bit on their qb going over on the passes and their RB Archane going over on his props like Joe did with the ATL 2 games back…..

    Now Hear This….Will the Fish put us out of our misery?

  17. Jehzsa Says:

    I hear Coach Bowles has been named the 2025 winner of the prestigious ‘Flying Fickle Finger of Fate’ Award.

    It’s a significant honor…

  18. Jerseybuc Says:

    Few radio supporters left please fill us in on what he does good.
    18 games under 500 as a HC
    Piss poor soft defense
    Bad clock management
    No in game adjustments
    No accountability
    Let’s not forget the annual midseason collapses every single year.
    Last two years he had a good OC to help pull him out of the ditch well not this year. Should of never been hired to begin with then coen is literally in the building you have him but nope

  19. 813bucboi Says:

    problem is, too many yes men and nice guys around One Buc Palace….they wont ever tell bowles he needs to adjust now and things arent ok…

    they rather have Licht tell him, “you’re fired” lol…

    GO BUCS!!!!

  20. Buc4never Says:

    who is TJ?

  21. HC Grover Says:

    Hey Jersey Buc what he does is somehow eek in to the NFC South title every year and get the owners a home playoff game. That is good enough for them.

  22. SB~LV Says:

    The whole OBP has the unspoken attitude of
    I won’t call you out if you don’t call me out!
    🤮
    Soft GM who is the Emperor with No Clothes and for what ever reason the sports media has gotten as soft as OBP
    Steve Duemig and Chris Thomas are needed
    Ian Beckles does but he doesn’t get the invite and perks the trained local media does

  23. heyjude Says:

    Good for Todd. He knows how to separate work for wellness time and disconnect from the bad vibes.

    However, I have never known any coaches that stop thinking about the sport they are involved with, even in off times. They would listen to everything out there; good and bad.
