Todd Bowles Not Worried About Results This Week
June 17th, 2026
Bucs coach Todd Bowles.
Joe loves how Todd Bowles has been fighting himself not to come out and say that underwear football is just BS.
Just a couple of days after his good friend and former coaching colleague Dan Campbell teed off on underwear football saying, “I’m done hyping a pajama party in May,” Bowles had some choice, sarcastic words about underwear football saying everyone looks great in shorts and T-shirts. He cautioned assembled media he wasn’t going to publicly grade anyone from an underwear football practice.
Bowles stayed true to his word.
Whenever he has been asked since about a player, he tries to bury a smile and has some swipe about underwear football.
And Bowles all but said yesterday he’s not worried about results this week. The Bucs have two more scheduled minicamp practices, today and tomorrow. (Keyword: scheduled.)
Bowles was asked about Baker Mayfield, who didn’t exactly have a crisp day yesterday. Bowles waved it off.
On a pick in the end zone in goal line practice by Antoine Winfield, Bowles was asked if that was more a stellar play by Winfield or if Mayfield goofed up (Mayfield threw the ball right to Winfield — Joe was standing right behind Winfield.).
“I didn’t get anything from it,” Bowles said, dripping in sarcasm. “It’s hard to do goal line when you’re not hitting people and you’re not covering people like that.
“So it’s just about executing the mechanics for us.”
In other words, Bowles isn’t sweating the results in mid-June wearing shorts and T-shirts.
The sweating will come in August when the pads come on. In more ways than one.

We know. Bowles never has urgency about anything.
He’ll yawn his way through a soft training camp telling us it’s just preseason. In September he’ll tell us they just need some games to gel. In October he’ll tell us real football doesn’t start until Thanksgiving.
Then when the season ends and we’re out of the playoffs, he’ll just drawl on about ‘working on some things in the offseason and being ready for next year.’

I got my popcorn. Where is munchy? Baker is just getting the ints out of his system before the playoffs start in January. Plenty of time. It’s a Bucs life.

At least he’s consistent throughout the entire season.

Not worried about results. That sums up Todd Bowles as a HC\DC.
QB1 crying about a contract extension while throwing Int’s right to defenders???
No problem
Anchor of the defense pro bowl DT sitting out because of contract disputes???
Nothing to see here
Bowles knows unprepared, unorganized, soft, lethargic, undisciplined football.

Bowles knows losing. His record proves that.
His rap song should be, “All I do is lose no matter what”.

“ And Bowles all but said yesterday he’s not worried about results this week. “
So, this week isn’t any different from any other week, then.

The effort is there so results don’t matter, says Todd! Even during late season losing streaks, lol.
