Buccaneers finally fire a coach who should have been gone a long time ago

Leave it to Todd Bowles to make a poorly timed decision for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

It was announced this week that Bowles would return as head coach next season, much to the chagrin of an intensely frustrated fan base. Part of the deal with him coming back, though, was that changes needed to be made to his coaching staff which is what began to happen on Thursday.

Offensive Coordinator Josh Grizzard was the first coach to be fired, but he was soon followed by another name that Bucs fans were hoping to hear. Special teams coach Thomas McGaughey was dismissed as well, a move that it's hard to feel good about given how long overdue it was.
