Don’t confuse a head coach not being fired in the immediate aftermath of the season ending as that meaning his job is safe.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans kept telling themselves that when it came to Todd Bowles, even though it ended up being a fruitless endevor. Another coach wasn’t so lucky, as Mike McDaniel was fired by the Miami Dolphins four days after his team played its final game.
It’s news that comes on the heels of another firing in Florida; just hours earlier, the Bucs fired offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard. The move ends his time in Tampa and vacates a role that propelled two of its last three occupants to head coaching positions after just one tour of duty with the team.
