It's not a statement any Bucs fan was looking forward to hearing, even if the loudest and most unified protest couldn't sway decision-makers. Threats to cancel season tickets and calls for boycotts next season either didn't reach the Glazers or they simply didn't care, because Bowles is being brought back for at least one more season.
On the one hand it's unbelievably frustrating to watch the team decide to run things back with Bowles. The historic collapse this past season notwithstanding, the Bucs haven't exactly been convincing contenders during Bowles' tenure; three straight division titles come with some massive asterisks.
