The Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday fired Byron Leftwich, Tom Brady’s offensive coordinator for the past three seasons.
Could he find a home with Brady’s old team?
The New England Patriots are in the midst of a search for a new OC, and Leftwich’s newfound availability adds another potential option to their pool of candidates.
Leftwich, a 43-year-old former NFL quarterback, was viewed as a rising coaching star at this point last year. He was a finalist for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ head-coaching job that ultimately went to Doug Pederson and also interviewed with the Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints.
