Despite an underwhelming performance in the regular season, the Buccaneers plan to retain coach Todd Bowles in 2023, regardless of the result of Monday’s wild-card round playoff game against the Cowboys, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Bowles, 59, posted an 8–9 record in his first season at the helm for the Bucs after taking over for Bruce Arians last spring. Though Tampa never won more than two games in a row, the club narrowly won the NFC South and clinched the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoffs.
While the Buccaneers’ performance has left something to be desired, the Glazer family, which owns the franchise, have never fired a head coach after just one season on the job.
