The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fired offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich after their 31-14 playoff loss to the Dallas Cowboys, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

The move is part of "sweeping changes" to the coaching staff, per Stroud, with up to five offensive assistants and two defensive coaches expected to lose their jobs.

Tampa Bay struggled to an 8-9 record this season despite returning much of the roster from last year's squad that went 13-4 with a trip to the divisional round of the playoffs. The Bucs won the Super Bowl after the 2020 season.
