According to a report by Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times, Monday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys will bear no weight on whether or not the Tampa Bay Buccaneers retain head coach Todd Bowles for next season. He’s back, win or lose.
It was a whirlwind promotion for Bowles, who became the head coach of the Bucs less than three weeks after Tom Brady announced he was returning for a third season with the franchise rather than staying retired - which he had done 40 days prior to that announcement. Bowles kept offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich on to run the offense and the results weren’t pretty.
