I'm disappointed as a Bucs fan that I gave this video 20 minutes of time to only hear complaints. No stats, no other coach suggestions, no real FA pickups to fantasize. C'mon guys.
Blame the GM for the lack of depth of this roster. He knows it. It is what it is. Coaching seemed uninspiring and couldn’t motivate or move players to get it done. It’s a combination of the GM, coaching, and players. Must retool and draft well. Hard decisions must be made. Too many good guys in the building—this is a violent game. Find your best balance.
This was one of the biggest collapses I've ever seen.
Draft defense defense defense! And fire Bowles and grizz.
Garbage owners, garbage gm, garbarge head coach, and a garbage starting quarterback. This garbage team didn't deserve to go to the playoffs this season and won't ever deserve to go to the playoffs as long as toilet bowles and faker mayfield is head coach and starting quarterback. 23 years of my fandom be damn as long as those two clowns faker mayfield and todd toilet bowles are in tampa i will continue to be rooting for the panthers and the falcons to beat the succaneers.
Rhett…you keep saying Todd is not a bad coach , yet you
say he allows these collapses…he's bad bruh…no in between.
Bucs fear change, so they embrace mediocrity…
Todd is in the days of…"1999 Let go Jets!…sheesh!
Anybody that doesn't take any blame and responsibilities and puts all of the blame on his players doesn't deserve to be an nfl head coach hell toilet bowles record with the jets is enough proof that he doesn't deserve to be an nfl head coach. Until he and faker mayfield are gone this garbage team will never see another nfc championship game nor a superbowl ever again. There's a reason why ol faker mayfield's been on 4 different teams his entire career because he sucks and that's why the browns got rid of him, it's why the rams got rid of him, and it's why the panthers got rid of him because he sucks and will never win a superbowl as a starting quarterback. And another thing remember what that clown faker mayfield said he brought fun back to the team well what did all that fun get ol faker mayfield…….oh yeah it got him and the succaneers sitting on their couches at hom watching the playoffs instead of being in the playoffs. 😂😂😂
The Whole Coaching staff needs to be fired immediately! Licht needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat and hire the perfect coach. Then on to a defensive focused draft and free agency. The defensive line needs to get bigger and better.
The goal is to win the Super Bowl , not be average. Bowles and his staff need to be fired!
Even though the players like playing for Bowles did he lose the locker room the 2nd half of this season?
Bowels gotta go it ain't working out it's time.
If Tampa doesn't make changes they will be 6-11 next year… This organization seems to be ok with this… gotta move on from Bowles ..Tampa AVERAGE lol
We have plenty of talent and plenty of gifted players. The problem with our coach and players is none of them seem to be able to wake the team up. Too many chickens and no roosters. Sapp use to get in players faces for not doing their jobs. We have no dogs on this team. There is no excitement! I want a passionate coach with a couple of in your face players on both sides of the ball.
The Bucs need competent, aggressive coaching that knows how to cultivate their talent and develop their rookie players.
I mean, if Bowles is back but the rest of the coaching staff changes, what does that accomplish when Bowles is still the final say on everything?
Thanks, Cannonfire! I always enjoy listening to your takes throughout the season, pre, and even post!
Bucs were considered contenders in the beginning of the season
Arians was such a great hire that he went 7-9 without Brady and was such a detriment that Brady forced him to retire. Then he saddled us with Bowles like he said he would when he was first hired.
Licht hired Arians because he thought an outdated scheme would fix Jameis. Stop the revisionist history. It was not a good hire, Licht just got lucky that half the league turned Brady down before he got stuck here.
Is the guy on the left alive?
