\t\t\t\u201cSomeone Will Have To Pay\u201d
\nJanuary 1st, 2026 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If the Bucs lose to the Stinking Panthers on Saturday, Joe doesn\u2019t see how Team Glazer doesn\u2019t make a coaching change.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t mean Team Glazer will make a move. Everything \u2014 including 9 of 10 Bucs fans \u2014 screams \u201cchange.\u201d But as Joes last name is not \u201cGlazer.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Team Glazer is discussing while enjoying Martell Cordon Bleu on the rocks in Bryan Glazer\u2019s comfortable library is anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n

However, to read NFL insider Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, if the Bucs do lose Saturday, Team Glazer standing pat and doing nothing in the first month of 2026 is impossible to see<\/a> .<\/p>\n

On the Bucs, Todd Bowles\u2019 buyout would be hefty after the team extended his contract through 2028, and the team doesn\u2019t seem overly eager to pay that. Bailing on Bowles would be the Bucs\u2019 way of embracing a rebuild. But someone will have to pay if they lose to Carolina. Staff changes are not off the table either way.<\/p>\n

Staff changes? If Team Glazer demands a new defensive coordinator and new defensive staff, then Bowles becomes nothing more than an expensive hood ornament, a figurehead.<\/p>\n

Why would Team Glazer want to pay a figurehead millions of dollars?<\/p>\n

Additionally, if Bowles loses the ability to pick assistants, he may very well just retire. Why be a coach if you cannot coach? If you\u2019re going to get paid for doing nothing, may as well really get paid for doing nothing and go fishing and golfing and watch your son play for Michigan on Saturdays next fall.<\/p>\n

But yeah, like Fowler stated, it\u2019s easy to see someone paying the price for such a trainwreck of a season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cSomeone Will Have To Pay\u201d January 1st, 2026 If the Bucs lose to the Stinking Panthers on Saturday,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":645627,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2077],"tags":[211,2599,2598,7,6,704,250,2597,2596],"class_list":{"0":"post-645626","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa-bay-buccaneers","8":"tag-buccaneers","9":"tag-bucs-message-boards","10":"tag-bucs-news","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-tampa-bay","14":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","15":"tag-tampabay","16":"tag-tampabaybuccaneers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115820134632387319","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645626","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=645626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/645626\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/645627"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=645626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=645626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=645626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
