The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced that they have fired offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich - the man who has called plays for Tom Brady for the last three seasons.
After a shockingly poor 2022 year, the Buccaneers have quickly gone from Super Bowl contenders to a losing record - finishing the year 8-9, although they were able to make it to the postseason with the rest of the NFC South struggling. But in the first round of the playoffs, they were handily defeated by the Dallas Cowboys, bringing their nightmare season to a disappointing end.
It was the first campaign that the Buccaneers and Brady have had without head coach Bruce Arians, who retired from coaching after 46 years, but remaining with the team as a consultant.
