\t\t\tMike Tomlin Talks Bucs Coaching, Baker Mayfield
\nNovember 2nd, 2026 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Joe would say a healthy percentage of Bucs fans would love to replace Todd Bowles with former Steelers legendary head coach Mike Tomlin.<\/p>\n

Heck, a healthy percentage of Bucs fans are eager to replace Bowles with any viable candidate.<\/p>\n

Now an analyst for NBC Sports, Tomlin isn\u2019t ready to throw dirt on Bowles\u2019 coaching career. In fact, last night Tomlin handed Bowles his \u201cgame ball\u201d for Week 8 play in the NFL. But Bowles will have to share the honor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI give [my game ball] to a combination of Todd Bowles and Zac Robinson,\u201d Tomlin said<\/a>. \u201cZac Robinson going against his former [Falcons] team; it\u2019s one thing to have a good plan, it\u2019s another thing to be adaptable enough to pivot when necessary. The weather conditions dictated that they do that today. They did it. They sold it to their guys.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey just did a contract extension with Baker Mayfield, and somebody had to go tell Baker that we\u2019re not going throw the ball today. And I\u2019m sure Baker was like lukewarm at best with the idea. But it was the right decision. They played behind their running game in the conditions and they won the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Falcons had no answers for the Bucs in any phase of yesterday\u2019s game. Oddly, the Panthers had no answers for Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n

Bucs coaching has been eating a buffet of Ws the past two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mike Tomlin Talks Bucs Coaching, Baker Mayfield November 2nd, 2026 Joe would say a healthy percentage of Bucs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":444993,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[10998,10997,135,2964,137,136],"class_list":["post-444992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-bucs-message-boards","tag-bucs-news","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=444992"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/444992\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/444993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=444992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=444992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=444992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
