Todd Bowles Survives Monday Afternoon, Comes Out For News Conference
December 29th, 2025

Silent.

Everywhere Joe turns today Bucs fans are talking about firing Todd Bowles.

Yes, the occasional fan is unsure of what to do with Bowles.

Regardless, Joe doesn’t want to make any assumptions about Bowles’ job security. A winless December versus bad teams — amidst high expectations — earned Bowles a broiling seat.

Bucs ownership and Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht have heard all the Fire Bowles noise and decided to let it simmer. Neither Team Glazer not Licht came out today and said Bowles’ job is safe.

Some management teams would want to kill all possible distractions as they enter January with a shot at the playoffs. Not at One Buc Palace.

Not now, the Bucs’ heirarchy is content to let Bowles fry in the oven of public opinion.

Bowles was present and his usual self during his league-mandated, day-after-game news conference this afternoon. He took the podium. Given Bowles’ situation, Joe thinks that’s news.
