20% confident! Oh come on! Clueless Todd will win 2 more games tops the rest of the season. Splits with Carolina and maybe they beat the Falcons. Even that seems like a stretch.
SteveK, if he were just the DC then maybe, but Bowles is woefully deficient at the head coach position. Keeping him on because you don’t think there’s anyone else is basically opting to play it safe instead of trying to improve. Hmmmm. Just like Todd.
Todd should have been given his exit papers and been shown the exit after the Texans atrocity. We know he’s worse than Dungy was about offense, and now his years of confusing, overly complex zone schemes are being brutally exposed. Furthermore, he continues to give fewer snaps to the players who are playing better, refusing to play Ya Ya, refusing to do anything about Devin White’s embarrassing play. It’s a shame, with the right leader this is a team that should absolutely be 6-4 and on an up wave instead of this depressing death spiral.
“May I ask your short list for “clueless Todd” replacements?”
Anyone with a brain and a set of balls.
Ben Johnson – Detroit.
Brian Johnson – Eagles.
Shane Waldron – Seattle.
Eric Bieniemy
Raheem (yes… he wasn’t ready first time, he is now)
Rich Bissacia
Any one of these guys would be an improvement over Todd. Prefer a coach who plays to win, not playing ‘not to lose’, ala Arians.
As for keeping Todd, why? What has he shown in his two years as HC, plus his previous flop in NY to warrant any confidence?
I think Bowles is a good defensive coach. However, when his efforts are diluted, he becomes less so. And I think his defenses when he has been an HC bears this out. However, he has clearly never shown the propensity to be a good HC. He will end up as a DC somewhere.
Would be VERY interesting because his connection with Canales…
Keep the same offense and upgrade it so you don’t force the players to earn YET another offense…
Just need a MODERN Defensive mind to run the defense and bring it into this present time defense that works!
This might not be a popular name due to being a defensive-minded retread, but Jim Schwartz, the d-coordinator for the Browns, would be an interesting candidate. He has that defense playing fast, mean and aggressive. I’ve always been a fan of his style.

Totally or Toddally Confident.
Just feel like he’s a great defensive coach and he will lead us to the playoffs again.

Jeff,
May I ask your short list for “clueless Todd” replacements?
I kind of want to see the D line grow and watch him continue to build us into a monster. We need a new blood at CB too. A rookie contract.
November 24th, 2023 at 11:32 am
Perhaps if the GM didn’t screw up the defensive roster from last year and throw millions at useless CBs the Bucs would be winning.

After Sean’s recent podcast, wow…it’s a no confidence vote from me.
November 24th, 2023 at 11:54 am
Looks like Todd has voted early with the one vote for “Totally Confident” that number should improve as his family members vote.
November 24th, 2023 at 12:01 pm
Tbbf..lol that’s funny.
Little confidence….cause he can win games still.
I’ve seen the wins …he can win games.

An AI bot would yield better game day results.
November 24th, 2023 at 12:44 pm
I’m confused, are these polls based on our confidence in us winning this week or our confidence in Todd Bowles leading us to winning a Super Bowl?
November 24th, 2023 at 12:53 pm
Myth….Bowles is a great defense coach. No he is not….we only won because Brady put up over 30 points a game. Bowles was giving up 25.
November 24th, 2023 at 12:55 pm
NO CONFIDENCE IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE ANSWER
November 24th, 2023 at 1:10 pm

November 24th, 2023 at 1:59 pm
I’m confident Bowles will win just enough games to screw up draft position and get fired
November 24th, 2023 at 2:25 pm
ABSOLUTELY NONE!
91+ games (36-55) as HC… STILL losing the majority of his game to this present day… He is NOT even a fraction of HC material!
November 24th, 2023 at 2:32 pm
Shane Waldron – Seattle for Bucs HC
Would be VERY interesting because his connection with Canales…

Bowzo speaks…everybody cringes.
November 24th, 2023 at 4:48 pm
To the 4 people who are very confident…why?
November 24th, 2023 at 4:51 pm
I would have voted ‘Confident’ but I’m a loyal fan of many years. I’ve seen a LOT worse.
November 24th, 2023 at 7:13 pm
Totally confident that Bowles is a clown.
November 24th, 2023 at 7:35 pm
Confidence what confidence
November 25th, 2023 at 9:53 am
It’s hard to believe he has 15,% or so of support. He is not the future of the Bucs. Fire him and let’s move on. Go Bucs.
