Josh Grizzard Comes Ryan Fitzpatrick Approved
January 31st, 2025
Bucs Lost Decade quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick likes Tampa Bay’s brand new offensive coordinator hire, Josh Grizzard.
Fitzpatrick spent the 2019 and 2020 seasons with the Dolphins under during their Brian Flores. Grizzard was on the Miami staff as an assistant, dating back to his sentence there during the Adam Gase regime.
Fitzpatrick liked what he saw from the young coach, who led Dolphins receivers in 2020.
A Harvard man, Fitzpatrick forgave Grizzard for attending Yale, the Alma mater of Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, who kept Grizzard on staff after Flores was fired.
“I was with Grizz in Miami for two years and knew he would get this chance at some point in the near future, ” Fitzpatrick shared on X today. “… Despite his questionable decision making when selecting a college, I am really happy and excited for him and the Bucs.”
The Fitzpatrick endorsement doesn’t mean much, but it does mean he might have unique insight when the Bucs play games broadcast on Amazon, where Fitz is a Thursday Night Football analyst.

Joe, you should always use Fitz’s picture from when he wore DeSean Jackson’s outfit during that post game presser. Solid gold.

Burn the pages with the cutesy stuff inside the red zone(s).

If Josh is King Grizzard then I guess that makes Baker the Lizard Wizard, right?

It means a lot. Talk about a guy who’s had a number of OCs, and HCs Fitz knows a thing, or two. Surprised the magic man himself never got into coaching. Think he’d be a natural.

I’m a little tired if the status play among ivy leagues in the nfl.
Ivy boys have done poorly everywhere in everything they touched. Otherwise the guy isn’t bad. But football wise and also in most of life. It’s a division 3 background.
To grizz credit it opened a door for him that closed for someone else. But at least he didn’t blow the slot given unlike most of tgeir brethren. that’s way more important than some status signal.
