Todd Bowles Will Be Back as Buccaneers Coach in 2026, but Staff Changes Appear Likely

Tampa Bay Buccaneers owners chose stability despite fan backlash after late-season collapse; Bowles secured for 2026 following three straight division titles, with staff changes expected.

  • On Wednesday, Todd Bowles confirmed he will return as Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach for the 2026 season following meetings with the Glazer family and staff interviews.
  • Ownership's decision favored continuity despite a late-season collapse, while Bowles argued he earned another season after winning three straight division titles and signing his three-year extension before the season.
  • From a 6-2 start to an 8-9 finish, the Buccaneers lost seven of their final nine games, with Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield throwing nine interceptions in his last eight games.
  • Evaluating his staff in the coming days, Bowles will meet members of his coaching staff Thursday with some movement expected, while many Bucs fans reacted negatively and ownership supports Bowles and Jason Licht.
  • At nearly 62, Bowles faces questions about handing off play-calling, roster changes, and whether Tampa Bay will draft a quarterback to challenge Baker Mayfield in 2026.
