(WWSB) &#8211; Just one day after Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh was fired after an 18-year tenure, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have decided to stick with Head Coach Todd Bowles as they look ahead to the 2026 season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Bowles is coming off his fourth season at the helm in Tampa, and the first season that he didn\u2019t lead the Buccaneers to a divisional title and appearance in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The 62-year-old head coach will look to reshape his coaching staff heading into year five. The Bucs, after starting the season 6-2 heading into the bye week, finished on a 2-7 run to narrowly miss the postseason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI\u2019ve earned the chance,\u201d Bowles said about coming back. \u201cI\u2019ve won three straight division titles, so that says a lot as far as I\u2019m concerned. I don\u2019t really have a message for fans other than true fans are true fans and we\u2019re going to try to do our best to go out there and win for them. They\u2019re going to feel how they feel, but that\u2019s not a coach\u2019s problem. The coach\u2019s problem is to make the team better and that\u2019s all I\u2019m looking forward to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Bowles has an overall record of 35-33 since taking over as Tampa Bay\u2019s head coach in 2022. <\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 WWSB.
