<\/a><\/p>\nJoe realizes NFL teams probably don\u2019t like it when media talks and writes about their coaches having shaky job security. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s why teams don\u2019t go there on their official websites and team media.<\/p>\n
However, the NFL profits on the whole hot-seat culture that lasts a solid month or more. It\u2019s big business, and a big part of the NFL calendar. The NFL loves it!<\/p>\n
It\u2019s fun. And the NFL needs a lot of peripheral fun to sustain its intrigue year-round because most teams only play 20 games a year, including preseason.<\/p>\n
All major media shows and websites in partnership with the NFL have been running with hot-seat chatter for weeks. And it\u2019s not just them, it\u2019s nearly the entire media machine that helps fuel the NFL\u2019s status as the most popular sport in the country by 100 miles.<\/p>\n
Watch the new and fantastic Raise The Flags documentary chronicling 50 years of Bucs history on Amazon Prime \u2014 produced by the Buccaneers \u2014 and you\u2019ll see how coaching changes and the drama leading up to them are huge parts of team lore. It\u2019s all part of the show.<\/p>\n
Change is exciting, often necessary, and represents an organziation\u2019s commitment to winning and symbolizes hope.<\/p>\n
Yeah, it means people lose their jobs, which were temporary to begin with. That\u2019s a downside. But some fired are very wealthy and won\u2019t be hurting because of it.<\/p>\n
Joe wonders if one reason the Bucs have yet to issue a formal statement that Todd Bowles is returning for the 2026 season is because the team likes the intrigue and attention the unknown brings. Joe would get that, if that\u2019s the case.<\/p>\n
