The Buccaneers massive coaching turnover continued Wednesday, as special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong decided to retire.
Armstrong, 60, has been with Tampa since 2019 — Bruce Arians’s first season. Armstrong has coached special teams in the NFL since 1997, registering stints with the Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Falcons, and Bucs. That said, Armstrong and head coach Todd Bowles go way back in their own right, as they both played at Temple under Arians in the mid-1980s.
2023 happened to be the Bucs’ best special teams season under Armstrong by DVOA (a composite metric factoring several data points), as they ranked 18th.
