TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hired Seattle Seahawks quarterback coach Dave Canales as their new offensive coordinator, the team announced Thursday.
The move comes two days after he interviewed with the team.
Canales was the 10th candidate to interview with Tampa Bay for the position since the team fired Byron Leftwich after four seasons on Jan. 19.
"Dave has done a great job in a variety of roles with Seattle the past 13 years and he brings a passion for coaching and an energy level that players just seem to respond to," Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said in a statement.
