Josh Grizzard Fired
January 8th, 2026
Gone.
Less than two days after being retained as Bucs coach, Todd Bowles isn’t messing around.
The Bucs have dismissed offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard. This comes from Adam Schefter of ESPN. And Grizzard is not the only offensive coach who must clean out his desk.
Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis was sent packing.
So the rumors there would be a staff shakeup were not wrong. Now, Joe is wondering, when do the Bucs post the opening for defensive coordinator?
Bowles almost seemed to tip this offensive playcaller move on Monday when he said Grizzard learned things this season he could “take with him.”
