We heard that there would be coaching changes for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> after it was announced that head coach Todd Bowles would be returning.<\/p>\n

And the Buccaneers weren’t kidding.<\/p>\n

The franchise has swung the axe and reminded us of the brutal nature of this business.<\/p>\n

The Buccaneers fired five coaches, with\u00a0the biggest one being offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard after just one season.<\/p>\n

In a statement via ESPN<\/a>, Bowles made it clear why they were let go.<\/p>\n

“Our goal is to compete for championships every year, and it is my responsibility to make these tough decisions in order to reach those expectations. I want to thank these coaches for all that they have contributed to our success over the years, and I wish them well.”<\/p>\n

Buccaneers not standing still after horror season<\/p>\n

If these firings tell us anything, it’s that the urgency to win for Tampa Bay is at an all-time high.<\/p>\n

Getting rid of this many coaches shows the Buccaneers wanted to clean house in an attempt to get this troubled train back on track.<\/p>\n

Exactly who the franchise is looking at filling those roles isn’t known right now, but that will likely become clearer as the weeks go on.<\/p>\n

But for Grizzard, taking over from Liam Coen was always going to be a tough task, and Tampa Bay has wasted no time in moving on from him as the offense stuttered all season.<\/p>\n

The winds of change are blowing through Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n
