The Buccaneers decided to formally relieve Byron Leftwich of his offensive coordinator duties Thursday, as well as several other assistants on both sides of the ball.
It marks the first significant coaching turnover the team has seen in four years, as all were previous holdovers from the Bruce Arians regime. With offensive performance dropping off by historical levels after the newest Bucs Ring of Honor inductee departed last offseason, it seems that head coach Todd Bowles will get one chance to remold his staff as he sees fit.
Expectations should be tempered for a man who, by several data points, maintained one of the most conservative approaches of any head coach in 2022.
