There has been a lot of success experienced by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the last few months and it has resulted in them earning a trip to the Super Bowl for the second time in franchise history.
Before this season, however, the Bucs experienced multiple years of struggles and disappointment. Prior to this season, Tampa hadn’t even appeared in the playoffs since 2007.
During their 12-year stretch without a postseason berth, the Bucs went through four different head coaches. Some provided Tampa with a little bit of hope, but none of them could get the team back to being a consistent contender.
