Buccaneers expected to fire offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich, per report

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to relieve Byron Leftwich of his offensive coordinator duties, according to Scott Reynolds of Pewter Report.

Reynolds, who has broken numerous Bucs stories throughout the years, published the report as the clock hit zeroes on Tampa Bay’s lopsided 31-14 defeat to the Dallas Cowboys Monday night at Raymond James Stadium. If proven true, it would be a fitting end for Leftwich’s one and only season as the sole proprietor of the Bucs’ offense.

Even with Tom Brady and a well-stocked cupboard of weapons, Leftwich’s fourth year — and first without mentor Bruce Arians directly overseeing him — never got off the ground.
