In the NFL, everything can go very quickly.
Last season, Byron Letfwich was a potential candidate for a head coaching job. This time he is less successful and the consequence is dismissal.
Indeed, according to ESPN, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator has been removed from his position as offensive coordinator. He was the offensive playcaller for quarterback Tom Brady and his teammates.
Byron Leftwich had been in place for 4 years. It had arrived in the luggage of Bruce Arians, the coach at the time. It’s the first major staffing decision since Todd Bowles took charge of the team.
He won Super Bowl 55 in Tom Brady’s freshman year with the Buccanneers. The following was more complicated with 2 eliminations. In the divisional round against the Rams then in wild card during the Monday Night Football against the Cowboys.
Moreover, according to Ian Rapoport, Byron Leftwich is not the only member of the attacking staff to be sacked. Indeed, Kevin Garver, the receivers coach and Todd McNair, the runners coach, were also fired.
On the defense side, departures are also to be noted with the dismissal of Lori Locust, the defensive line coach and the retirement of Bob Sanders, coach of the pass rushers.
