1. This dude sucks 😢

2. He deserves another shot.

3. I’m ok he is coming back for next year. But they need to hire great assistants, get more talent either through the draft/free agency. Even though I like Todd Bowles, I believe he will be fired if he has another season like this year!

4. Wrong decision especially with the former head coaches of Cleveland and Baltimore available.

5. They pushed Bruce Arians upstairs to keep Bowles in the building.

6. I don’t get that one bit. Harbaugh got fired for a whole lot less…

   Better find an OC like Coen or he’s sunk.

7. Bucs need to move on!

8. Next season will be a waste of a very good offense.
   What a stupid decision.

9. Lol.. two of the division titles with a losing record is hardly something to brag about

10. What was weird this year was the team was winning games when so many key players were out with injuries, and they actually backslid when those players came back.

11. Well it at least we'll have a high draft pick next year. More time for fishing too.

12. They just fired their OC, Josh Grizzard and QB Coach.

13. Todd has to get out of his own way. Hire a dc hire an oc and focus on the chess match.

14. That dude don't suck look at the defense of player theu giving that man hire Mike as the OC and get 2 edge rusher and 2 LB and you will see

15. Chris shut up bro those are all excuses look at the 13-4 niners with worse injuries in a tougher division. Look at the dolphins with a worse roster smashed us saints smashed us falcons blew 14 pint 4 th quarter lead etc etc

16. Good move! Get him some talent, can care less about fans wanting him gone. Hire a guy just to not put talent to elevate the team and the scheme and continue the coaching cycle? That’s dumb

17. They got to go now

18. Fire the cornerbacks coach, the special teams coach, and strip Todd of defensive play calling too!!!

19. Nice to know my team is okay with mediocrity😢

20. If he doesn't fix our defense next season, he needs to go. It's a joke how bad our defense is…

21. Defense has been bad or mediocre every year regardless of personnel. He’s been living off the Super Bowl performance for years now

22. Hey Chris,I am not surprised that you do not know what you are talking about

23. Terrible news.

24. Why are these guys trying to use injuries as an excuse. We had our loses after our boys got healthy

25. The injuries were happening when the Bucs were still winning games. After they got everyone back healthy is when they crapped the bed every week.

26. Well, time to make a call to McDaniel for OC job.

27. KingsburryOC/Baker reunion

28. I hope they don't use their starters in the preseason. I'd rather lose a few games in the early season, and have everyone make it into the later season.

29. I’ve been saying Todd Bowles isn’t that guy for 4 years since 2022… glad to say I’m no longer a buccaneer

30. Wah wah wah

31. Can’t watch anymore of this guy. Cya

32. Hopefully Bucs get a new guru OC that can also become the next HC when the same yearly slide happens again

33. He refuses to use edge rushers to BE edge rushers. Insanely, inexplicably dropping these big massive OLB's – 20 x a game seems like – into coverage, allowing catch after catch on over the middle slants and curl patterns. Who else does this ????

34. BUCS are famous for splash off season moves. Gruden, Brady etc. They need a splash Defense move..like max crosby… also, a team w this many weapons deserves a OC w NFL play calling experience …the last 2 OCs won their divisions this year….a d the rookie OC had forst 10 plays scripted but then it fell apart

35. Im with simms on this one, Bowles was coaching with one arm tied behind his back

36. Bowles had the best team in the division every year and went .500. He in no way deserves to keep his job

37. What a horrible decision! 3 straight division titles, but can't go any further. Not sure what the Glazers are thinking. Bowles is a terrible coach!

38. Everybody is hurt on the charger's they play in a tougher division too. In the playoffs

39. He's saying he had an entire coaching staff full of people he didn't want, for years???? This is fkn weird!

40. I would give them all those injury excuses if they weren't doing better when everyone was injured.

41. Todd Bowles has the most game loosing drives of any HC or DC in the NFL, his playcalling and scheme sucks. Next season Bucs will be lucky to go 5-12

42. Bowles is so terrible. Too bad the Glazers have no balls and next year will be another crap season.

43. Nobody’s buying what you’re selling Mr.Simms Todd Bowels needs to go
