It's been one-and-done for each of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' previous two offensive coordinators, Dave Canales and Liam Coen. They emerged as highly sought-after commodities during their respective hiring cycles and quickly landed head coaching gigs.
The Buccaneers chose to promote from within to replace Coen, naming former pass game coordinator Josh Grizzard as their third play-caller in as many seasons. The latter’s transition has been as smooth as the club could’ve hoped for. That’s great – until it isn’t.
Success is a double-edged sword, as Tampa Bay has learned the hard way. Grizzard is helping the Buccaneers win, though he’s also catching the eyes of rival front offices.
