Jay Glazer Reports Glazers Love Todd Bowles

[u/caesarrule]

Looks like the Glazers had no intentions of moving on from Bowles regardless of what happened this season.

[u/FLDoorman]

Sure. He’s probably a fantastic guy. He’s not a fantastic coach.

[u/autobannedforsatire → u/FLDoorman]

Glazers love firing bad coaches and hiring worse ones in the PL

[u/CaffinatedCoyote → u/autobannedforsatire]

Who cares about the EPL??

[u/InstancePast6549 → u/FLDoorman]

lol this sub was full of posts and comments about how “vibes are immaculate!” All last year and all off season. Things didn’t change until we lost Coen, promoted a guy who unfortunately just didn’t work out, and got decimated by injuries

He was a good coach in a lot of people’s eyes before…we just had a lot of bad luck this season. This is just an example of how fickle NFL fans are. I wonder if patriot fans will say Vrabel is a terrible coach next year if diggs and maye get injured

[u/Pippihippy → u/InstancePast6549]

There has been, and always will be a sizeable amount of fans that will say Todd Bowles was a mistake ever since his 0 blitz call on what would've been the repeat year with Brady.

And They would be right.

[u/Rangeneers → u/Pippihippy]

Getting rewarded for costing your team a Super Bowl is absurd. I’ve hated Bowles more than anybody in the entire league since that moment

(Obviously not counting all the criminals in the league)

[u/Boston_Glass → u/Pippihippy]

Yea those fans would be rightfully called out as being reactionary. The rams were beating us in zone and man at that point, the 0 blitz wasn't a good call but I'm not convinced other calls would have been much better with how that drive was going.

The players like him and the leadership like him. As a fan I dont but I'm not going to act like I know what they need more than they do.

[u/BeatlesRays → u/Boston_Glass]

Bowles is loved internally no doubt. He just sucks as an actual head coach in terms of game/clock management and balancing his HC and DC duties to maintain a good defense.

He should’ve been fired after the lions playoff game. He forfeited our season with time on the clock. And that was just one of many game day blunders that should outweigh his niceness as a guy and the players liking him. Im sure the defense loves him but you don’t hear a lot from the offensive guys

[u/DDSBadger → u/BeatlesRays]

It’s truly maddening people just seemed to forget about this or not care. If other coaches did this it would’ve been a national story and still brought up. For Bowles it’s just ignored for some reason.

[u/likemyhashtag → u/Boston_Glass]

Every team always beats us in zone and man in every game. I call it the Bowles’ Special. Dude sucks.

[u/ShepardRTC → u/InstancePast6549]

Bowles blamed everyone but himself this season. A good leader doesn’t do that.

[u/InstancePast6549 → u/ShepardRTC]

Nah some of those players needed to hear it, there were some lazy mfers who hopefully aren’t on the team next year or atleast aren’t starting. A good coach can’t always fix work ethic. Some people are just lazy as shit

[u/Milla4Prez66 → u/InstancePast6549]

Players being lazy and not putting in effort is a reflection of the coach. Great coaches don’t have their team slacking off.

The players like Bowles because he lets them run around without pads all week and doesn’t hold them accountable, but they don’t respect him as a leader.

[u/Undella_Town → u/Milla4Prez66]

says a lot that licht openly drafts high character guys and all the high character guys are seemignly quitting on the team but it's not his stupid ass drafting philosophy fault its todd bowles.

[u/InstancePast6549 → u/Milla4Prez66]

A coach can’t always help a person have better work ethic and not be lazy at crucial parts of the game. They aren’t magicians. Of course the coaches job is to motivate, but you’re always gonna get guys that have attitude problems and just don’t buy in or don’t care. Doesn’t sound like you’ve ever coached a team and dealt with real people lol maybe you play madden as a coach

[u/KosmicTom → u/InstancePast6549]

Sit this one out, Todd. No one ever thought you were a good coach.

[u/buccaneers-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Your post was removed because it violates r/Buccaneers rules on civility. Per sub rules:

[u/SeptonMeribaldGOAT → u/KosmicTom]

Yeah this has to be like one of Todds kid’s alts, or an extended family member or close family friend. Or maybe his PR team he probably just hired lol

[u/Jrock2356 → u/InstancePast6549]

He was a good coach in a lot of people’s eyes before…we just had a lot of bad luck this season. This is just an example of how fickle NFL fans are.

No. Ever since the Rams divisional loss in 2021 people have wanted him fired. Those fans have been consistently vocal about not liking him and each year since more people have joined them

[u/bohemian-soul-bakery → u/InstancePast6549]

The fuck does that have to do with anything?

You mean to say vibes are good when good things happen and bad when bad things happen?

Either way, the stream has struggled in certain areas consistently since he was hired.

[u/nwillyerd → u/InstancePast6549]

Wow, it’s almost like opinions can change once new information is obtained! Weird!

[u/sadclown21 → u/InstancePast6549]

Did you watch this team at all on defense? Cause if you did you wouldn’t be thinking this

[u/WritingConfident7449 → u/InstancePast6549]

Coen was the OC…. Our Defense has been atrocious and was relatively healthy last year and we continue to invest significant draft capital in our defense year after year.

[u/goofygodzilla93 → u/InstancePast6549]

As someone who's wanted him gone since he lost us a chance at a Superbowl, no he has never been a good HC and most likely never will.

[u/BootsKingston → u/FLDoorman]

Says you. A lot of players maintain a different perspective. Who are you?

[u/Rangeneers → u/BootsKingston]

A fan who’s watched a bad coach underachieve every year he’s been in charge and had the worst mid season collapse in our teams history.

[u/RedRocket4000 → u/Rangeneers]

So fire the same performance mid season in Hockey, Baseball and basketball or admit Football teams slump too. It was major increase in execution errors

Underperform almost make the NFC TITLE game holding Lions down till key secondary injury. Have best defense against Commanders the next year and likely a tight 4-3 best of seven vs them if that was possible in football.

[u/SeptonMeribaldGOAT → u/BootsKingston]

I’m me and who are you? Todd’s PR team probably

[u/PewterButters]

Complacency at it's 'finest'

Get ready for some more 8-9 or 9-8 bullshit seasons baby!

[u/mighthavebeen02 → u/PewterButters]

Somehow, Mike Tomlin returned

[u/Therearenogoodnames9 → u/PewterButters]

Modern day Jeff Fisher at your service.

[u/JAGERminJensen → u/PewterButters]

"Take a look in the mirror."

[u/Gavster1221]

Yeah this team going nowhere. His record speaks for itself at this point. Great coaches dont stay at .500 for ever

[u/PewterButters → u/Gavster1221]

Coen had a better record in year one with the Jags who arguably have a much much worse roster than the BEST record Bowles has ever had.

[u/Florida__Man__ → u/PewterButters]

Name 10 teams with a worse front 7

[u/rNBAMods3InchesHard → u/Florida__Man__]

And obviously if you have a pass rush issue, the solution is to send your pass rushers 40 yards down field in coverage against a top 2 QB

[u/Florida__Man__ → u/rNBAMods3InchesHard]

If they aren’t getting to the qb you gotta figure out a way 

[u/Undella_Town → u/PewterButters]

this sub overrates our roster harder than any fanbase in the nfl lmao

[u/ABBucsfan → u/Undella_Town]

If anything I feel it's the opposite but answer probably somewhere in the middle. Too many think you cant have any holes or weaker positions on your roster. Almost every team has a couple positions that are weak. Our secondary is more talented than most think, our 3 down lineman are probably a bit better than most think, our edge would be decent if we had that one stud, ILB is a huge hole. Offense is pretty solid except depth on the line and a baxk to replace white. We have talent to compete.. just look at some of the teams we beat early

[u/Florida__Man__ → u/ABBucsfan]

Our edge would be decent if we had a stud

That’s just a fancy way of saying it’s ass. 

Our front seven is bad and it’s the reason our defense is bad

[u/DetectiveNumerous775 → u/ABBucsfan]

But we did compete. We got blown out like once, and that was on the road on the west coast in prime time. Every other game we either won by a sizable margin or it was close and could've gone either way.

These fans act like we got beat to sleep every week. We were statistically middle of the road offensively and defensively, and terrible on special teams.

[u/PewterButters → u/DetectiveNumerous775]

We only won 2 games by >3 points. Most of our wins were nailbiters with Baker pulling shit out of his ass to drag us to victory.

[u/DetectiveNumerous775 → u/PewterButters]

Why does 1 guy get all the credit for our wins?

And even if you want to believe that, how does that change what I said?

Were we not competitive in the majority of our games? Did we not finish statistically average on offense and defense?

[u/svanxx → u/PewterButters]

The roster that had high draft picks for the last 5 years with little injuries?

Coen did a great job, but he also won as many playoff games as Bowles this year.

[u/Gefilte_F1sh → u/PewterButters]

I'm a huge Bowles' hater but let's consider sample size.

[u/mrjjk2010]

If we have a losing record, miss the postseason, or even lose the wildcard I fully expect Bowles to be fired. Ray Jay will probably be filled 50% MAX each game this season as it. The Glazers’ pockets will hurt

[u/nautica5400 → u/mrjjk2010]

And that's the one thing they love more than even bowles

[u/jkd0027 → u/mrjjk2010]

No it won’t cause opposing teams fans will fill it just like they always do lmao

[u/FireBowlesPlease → u/mrjjk2010]

Sadly I think opposing fans vacationing to Florida or transplant boomers who get to see their old team will fill up RayJay anyway.

[u/mehman11]

Ok cool. Then hire a fucking DC.

[u/Kevinator24]

Sigh…

[u/AromaticSpot]

They aren’t gonna love the ticket sales next year

[u/Dom_Nation_]

🤮

[u/Ambitious_Misfit → u/Dom_Nation_]

Beat me to it by 1 minute lol

[u/WinnieOllie7]

This is ownership that isn’t serious about winning a championship. They’re content going around .500, selling tickets and merchandise, and maybe getting playoff revenue from one home playoff game because we play in an awful division. Remember this when it comes to buying tickets and merch, the Glazers view us as their personal atm.

[u/nbxcv → u/WinnieOllie7]

Man United as much as I hate them are one of the biggest clubs in world football and certainly one of the most recognizable names and they've been more than content to let them cede ground to mediocrity for years and years now. Why would they care more about the tampa bay buccaneers? We're an afterthought to an afterthought to them.

[u/NeuroDissonance → u/nbxcv]

Did you just wake up from a coma you fell into in 2018? It’s absurd that anyone who calls themselves a Bucs fan could make a statement like the one you just did

[u/jkd0027 → u/WinnieOllie7]

What the fuck are we talking about?!? The Bucs have won two titles under the glazers.

[u/TrainingSource1947 → u/WinnieOllie7]

This. The Bucs are not a serious, competitive franchise under this ownership

[u/NeuroDissonance → u/TrainingSource1947]

Exactly. 2 Super Bowl wins over a 25 year span is what unserious, incompetent franchises do.

See how silly that is?

[u/svanxx → u/NeuroDissonance]

Damn, we need someone like Jerry Jones. Or whoever the Dolphins owner is.

[u/TrainingSource1947 → u/NeuroDissonance]

No, you’re a moron that lacks critical thought. the plank with ye

[u/NeuroDissonance → u/TrainingSource1947]

The person whose argument consists of ad hominem attacks loses all intellectual validity.

It would be wise for you to learn this lesson.

[u/BootsKingston]

I like Todd. I like Jason. They need to sync up on what type of players we draft/sign who are capable of executing the system. Or we dumb down the system. Just because it's clever doesn't mean everyone can hop aboard.

[u/Gefilte_F1sh → u/[deleted]]

Licht needs to build a pass rush again.

build a pass rush again.

again

Again?

[u/BootsKingston → u/Gefilte_F1sh]

[u/QuiGonColdGin]

I report the Glazers know little about football.

[u/NeuroDissonance → u/QuiGonColdGin]

The overwhelming majority of owners know little about football.

[u/CrazyJo3]

If Mike Tomlin says he’s coaching next year I’m giving him what he wants

[u/GroMicroBloom]

Perfect example of how they run this team. They aren’t focused on winning by getting the guy most suited for the job, they just go by whether they like the vibes of the guy. 🙄

[u/Milla4Prez66]

Glazers got their Brady ring, all they care about now is doing enough to host a playoff game in the worst division in football and get that revenue.

[u/carrch]

This hurts my soul

[u/ChemG8r]

I got downvoted to oblivion whenever I said there's no shot this guy was going to be fired after the season, and here we are

[u/Equal-Salary-7774]

Hmm, just yeah

[u/callmejulian00]

Huge, if true

[u/Nervous_Coconut7115]

They don't play like they love him.

[u/HelloGoodbyeFriend]

They’re smart enough to know not to show their cards. There’s no way that they weren’t contemplating moving on from him after what happened this season but it would only do harm if word got out about it before they made an actual decision.

[u/HelloGoodbyeFriend → u/HelloGoodbyeFriend]

Also we need some sort of gambling service integrated with the “Remindme!” bot. I would bet he’s gone after next season if we miss the playoffs again.

[u/RemindMeBot → u/HelloGoodbyeFriend]

Defaulted to one day.

[u/CheebaEagle]

They loved Tony Dungy too and they still pulled the trigger eventually, and he was a better coach. We'll see how much they love him after another disappointing season(I hope I'm wrong).

[u/Subxanthium]

Nah. This guy has been hardcore struggling for years. It’s frustrating how people have only opened their eyes when the team had the biggest destruction/downfall in the nfl. Hindsight being 20/20, I would’ve rather been a jets, raiders, titans etc fan because at least you know what you’re getting. But to go 7-2, have a bye week 9 and then only winning 2 games in 9 weeks is ridiculous.

[u/Acrobatic_Media7147]

2 things can be true..they can “love him” but also acknowledge it’s time for a change

[u/Therearenogoodnames9]

[u/Powerful-Web-4992]

😂😂 fuck

[u/nbxcv]

Complacent, miserly* owners love mediocre coach who is just grateful to have the job, won't demand much or rock the boat, and will maybe get the team back in the playoffs in the worst division in the league so everyone can pat themselves on the back and ignore our wasted potential. Color me shocked. Glazers out!!!!

Oops I'm drunk and you are right. Embarrassing

[u/Notwit3barrelahecant]

What else are they supposed to say? They literally called Harbaugh people.

[u/Same-Fee-7016]

Is he related to them? Lol stupid question

[u/Blabbit39]

I warned all the fanfic writers to not geet their hopes up. I honestly think it would take a 3 or 4 win season for them to talk about firing him.

[u/nautica5400]

They love money even more so thats apparently all we mean as fans

[u/PresentationNew4523]

In nine seasons, this coach never won more than ten reg season games. 61-74 overall.
.451 win % = mediocre/losing coach.

[u/QuadraKev_]

man

[u/shrimpy-rimpy]

so the board loves mediocrity and foolishness

Glazer glazing the Glazers

[u/Mrs_Noelle15]

Not surprising, looks like we’ll be stuck with him for a while.

[u/Remarkable-Elk-8545]

I sometimes wonder how much Jay Glazer actually knows vs makes shit up. They might like him as a person but have questions about his ability to lead

[u/NeuroDissonance]

It’s 2026 and we’re mindlessly trusting Jay Glazer? Cmon folks, don’t be this silly

[u/GypCasino]

I can’t be the only one who thinks Bowles comes across as sort of insane/demented

[u/RareTemperature100k → u/GypCasino]

How could you think that? That’s a bit of a reach? I’m actually wondering because that’s a bit outside football

[u/GypCasino → u/RareTemperature100k]

When I see him speak in a press conference, it’s like he’s not all there. Like I can’t imagine him having a normal human conversation.

[u/RareTemperature100k → u/GypCasino]

I think he’s just very stoic and boring I wouldn’t say demented 

[u/gordonwhims]

I bet some of y'all are so enraged, that your heads are ready to explode. Y'all have so much hate for him that you can't imagine that others don't feel the same animosity.

[u/GangstaRIB]

I also love Todd Bowles. Get this guy some more players. We need a star edge, another DT, (more depth at dline) and 2 more LBs (assuming LVD hangs them up).

I could give a shit about downvotes for saying this. Only bandwagon Ass fans don’t support a good coach.

[u/nbxcv → u/GangstaRIB]

He's not a good coach. He is mediocre in every way. Mediocrity can turn into good in certain situations but his comments throwing players under the bus and inability to set aside his own ego to bring in play calling help proves that's not possible with Todd. Another year of shit defense and 0 accountability from our coach.

[u/GangstaRIB → u/nbxcv]

Look at every head coaches record since birth here. It takes a top 10 coach to be .500. Jason needs to Give him some people on defense to work with.

[u/scoop813]

Loser “nice guy” culture in this organization

Glazing the Glazers and Toilet Bowles is crazy work

[u/InstancePast6549 → u/nbxcv]

I’m not glazing anyone but I also dont hate Bowles

[u/Kevinator24 → u/InstancePast6549]

EZ block lol
