The Buccaneers named defensive coordinator Todd Bowles as the team’s next head coach alongside the decision from now former head coach Bruce Arians to step down. And it’s not on a short-term basis, but rather a reportedly lengthy deal.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Tampa Bay signed Bowles to a five-year deal to coach the team.
“I am appreciative of the Glazer family and Jason Licht for having faith in me to take on this role, and to Coach Arians for his support and guidance over the past four decades.” Bowles said via the team’s press release.
