Todd Bowles turned our exciting to watch, super bowl winning, top 5 scoring, no risk it no biscuit offense into a dumpster fire in just ONE season of being a head coach. And our defense is average at best. I hope the Glazers NEVER hire a defensive minded head coach again!
There are multiple reasons he should be fired. My main gripe is that I cannot believe that we have not made Chris Godwin an integral part of 3rd down playcalling this year. He single-handedly got us to the Super Bowl by catching third down passes and extending drives.
I’m “totally confident” that if the Bucs get beat at home, by a rookie, that this will be the beginning of the end. With the end being the day after the regular season.
One more loss, and it’s draft talk baby! It was so nice to have Tom Brady for three years and not have to think about how much we absolutely suck, and are light years from the playoffs. Here’s to hoping it’s not 13 more years til our next playoff appearance like last time, before Brady.
I like Todd Bowles. But his time with the Bucs has come and gone. I’m even sure he knows that. He probably already has started to pack his bags figuring out his next move. And secretly has told many of his coaches to be prepared. Blow up the coaching staff and get us a new forward thinking GM.
The GM is fine, Mike Johnson, let’s get a new coach.
Licht’s drafted batting average is definitely
Above average, and I would sit here and argue the “weapons for Winston” were successful in the way of luring Tom Brady town, allowing him to hoist a Lombardi, damn near get another, and throw for fam near 15k yards.
The GM is alright. The coach and the coaching is lackluster. Love Bowles defensive mind, just not sure he’s the captain for this ship.
I can think of 3 totally confident voters: oneilsuckyall, zzbuc & Wyoming Joe. In the past I’d include Defense Rules but of late he to has jumped ship. Welcome to the other side DR, the grass is greener.
GM is anything but alright , this team is a direct result of Lichts, actions and inaction. Still waiting for your Mid-Season GM Confidence Poll Joe????????
TB only value was as a DC and the past several games is an indictment against him as proof he no longer has any value and is only holding this team back!
Leave Licht alone. He built the roster that attracted Brady. He’s also 1 for 2 on head coach hires – Koetter was a mistake, but bringing in Arians was brilliant. He didn’t pick Bowles, Arians did (it was a GIANT mistake of ownership to allow an exiting coach to pick his replacement. No smart business does this.)
This is so dumb for you guys to put this out. Is this so you can chat about it on the pod? The sky is falling Tampa to most fans, obviously this is the reaction, it would be the reaction to about 75% of the head coaches in the NFL given our start. When you don’t have the best track record, you simply have nothing to go by but past performances.
People simple hate context. Bowles is terrible, players just need to be coached up more, blah blah blah, I’ve been hearing this sh!t for 15 years. Fact is, this isn’t a good football team, we’re trying to do a lot with a little, and the super bowl years cost us $78M in dead Cap, $35M+ we’re payin for this year. We have some lean years ahead to get back to black. This team overachieved early, and we’re seeing the results of what this team really is. Hang in there fanbase, firing coaches doesn’t always pan out.
BRADY…YES BRADY brought in SUH, AB, LENNY and GRONK just off the top of my head. Not Jason. JL is NOTHING without Tom. Nothing but another name in the books. No way Jason gets another coach/rebuild. Hell to the naw.
We won Powerball with Brady. No way does JL get that LUCKY again.
I voted “Confident”. Hear me out. What choice do we have?! He’s the HC, I’m a Bucs fan and I want my team to win. It’s not like they’re going to suddenly install Jim Harbaugh before the game!
Again, I want to win!
That said, Bowles had better get it together. This team looks anything but inspiring.
Bucsfanman@ Joe cannot grant you 3 wishes if you vote in his poll. Voting totally confident doesn’t make Bowles any better if he wins 4 more games this season. He should not be coaching any longer in the NFL. The Arians experiment failed.
I really wanted it to work out. He still has the rest of the season but it’s going to take a miracle lead by the defense.
The only way I approve him staying is a playoff birth with a top 5-8 physical legit defense the rest of the way or wtf are we doing here. This is not an elite defense right now or close to it. Their lower PPG stats most the year are super deceiving to actual performance.
5 in a row come Sunday. Will Levis about to light up the Bucs secondary like he is the second coming of Dan Marino. It’s time to start wearing Bags on our heads and talk about draft and new coaches. We need to see those articles Joe. Another lost decade has arrived.
Bowles has lost my confidence completely. I have zero expectations that Bowles can turn this around. If your a defensive minded head coach and your defense goes out and gets obliterated by a rookie qb. I mean record setting obliteration. How does a defensive head coach lose when the offense puts up 37pts. He should resign.
You mean people finally have no confidence in the guy who covered cooper kupp with a safety ? Or who dak prescott shredded ? The real poll should be jason licht. Bruce arians and brady saved him . Bucs arent a free agent destination anymore. The bucs did nit have a winning team it was brady who brought over gronk, AB, fournette, mason on offense
Please try to leave the poll up longer. Add 1 more to no confidence. Time to fire them all and start over with a 21st Century Offensive Minded Head Coach. Hire Derrick Brooks as General Manager or VP of Football Operations.
Ambivalent about Licht. He needs to address his obvious weaknesses if he’s to stay. Pick up a decent running back like Braelon Allen out of Wisconsin if he comes out. Big and powerful back. Only 19 and 6’2” and 245 lbs. Quality player and person!
Offense that averages a Field Goal better than the Jets and a Touchdown better than the Giants. Sitting around the lower third of the league with a defense that has given the ball to the Offense 8 more time than the O has pissed it away.
Predications for Sunday are Bucs hold Titans to less than 20 and Score 21 themselves. Based on Buccaneer’s points average it looks like they get one more drive that ends in a dismal Field Goal. Maybe even 7 of them.

This one ain’t gonna be pretty for ol’ Todd.
November 9th, 2023 at 9:08 am
Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck. Its probably a duck
Bowles is a loser unfortunately…
November 9th, 2023 at 9:12 am
Well this should be good…
November 9th, 2023 at 9:18 am
Confidence in what, losing?
I’m getting confident in that lately

November 9th, 2023 at 9:32 am
My confidence is a guppy gasping for it’s last breath in a dried up pond.
November 9th, 2023 at 9:44 am
He has coached 92 games and lost 55 of them.
November 9th, 2023 at 9:45 am
Those voting confudent need to seek medical help, you are not living in a realistic world.
November 9th, 2023 at 10:03 am
This whole thing will get blown up after the season. New coach, gm and qb should boost ticket sales.
November 9th, 2023 at 10:04 am
If we lose to the Titans on Sunday with another rookiE quarterback on our own turf Bowles head needs to roll and that’s the bottom line Big Joe.
November 9th, 2023 at 10:08 am

November 9th, 2023 at 10:10 am
Never realized Bowles has so many relatives reading Joe’s blog.
November 9th, 2023 at 10:15 am
I’ve voted “NO CONFIDENCE” in every poll Joe posts. Got mocked for it too.
November 9th, 2023 at 10:31 am
“Totally Confident” 1/5!
I’m “totally confident” that if the Bucs get beat at home, by a rookie, that this will be the beginning of the end. With the end being the day after the regular season.
One more loss, and it’s draft talk baby! It was so nice to have Tom Brady for three years and not have to think about how much we absolutely suck, and are light years from the playoffs. Here’s to hoping it’s not 13 more years til our next playoff appearance like last time, before Brady.
November 9th, 2023 at 10:32 am
There are at least 6 people that need to be red flagged.
They should not own a firearm here in FL.
Huge fork sticking out of Todd this morning.
November 9th, 2023 at 10:33 am
Fire this clown! Clueless Todd. I told ya!

November 9th, 2023 at 10:40 am
It would be fun to see a graph of the fans confidence in Bowles poll by the week at the end of the year. Definitely a downward trend
November 9th, 2023 at 10:41 am
I’m sure he’ll show up at the office each day.
November 9th, 2023 at 10:44 am

Wonder if Joel and Brian are voting like the rest of us?????
November 9th, 2023 at 10:56 am

November 9th, 2023 at 10:57 am
I’ve gone from little to no confidence. This guy has got no clue what to do…except get the next regime a high draft pick. Thanks Todd!
November 9th, 2023 at 10:59 am
TB only value was as a DC and the past several games is an indictment against him as proof he no longer has any value and is only holding this team back!
Curse of Bowels!
November 9th, 2023 at 11:00 am
Who the hell is totally confident in this nincompoop?

We are going to the Super Bowl!
November 9th, 2023 at 11:43 am
Looking at the standings it make sense NE Fan is here. Billicheat is worst with just 2 wins. Both coaches are discombobulated. Smh
November 9th, 2023 at 11:46 am
Confident in what ? He hasn’t done anything. But I am confident he should not be a head coach.
November 9th, 2023 at 11:46 am
bye Bowles
November 9th, 2023 at 12:09 pm
he has to know hes getting fired at this point
November 9th, 2023 at 12:37 pm
I’m confident Bowles is a clown of a HC.
November 9th, 2023 at 12:42 pm
5 in a row come Sunday. Will Levis about to light up the Bucs secondary like he is the second coming of Dan Marino. It’s time to start wearing Bags on our heads and talk about draft and new coaches. We need to see those articles Joe. Another lost decade has arrived.
November 9th, 2023 at 1:00 pm
i am confident that bowles will not be fired until after the season
November 9th, 2023 at 1:06 pm
LOL Says:
Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck. Its probably a duck.
^^^^^
The Ducks are one of (if not the) best team in the country. After they win the Pac12 Championship, it’s onto the Natty.
Bowles ain’t no Duck.
November 9th, 2023 at 1:34 pm
Bowles has lost my confidence completely. I have zero expectations that Bowles can turn this around.

November 9th, 2023 at 1:41 pm
For the 8 that voted total confidence…. Crack is bad for you. Go get treatment and do better for yourself.
November 9th, 2023 at 1:53 pm
Sorry I missed the poll. Add another to the zero confidence.
November 9th, 2023 at 1:56 pm
You mean people finally have no confidence in the guy who covered cooper kupp with a safety ? Or who dak prescott shredded ? The real poll should be jason licht. Bruce arians and brady saved him . Bucs arent a free agent destination anymore. The bucs did nit have a winning team it was brady who brought over gronk, AB, fournette, mason on offense
November 9th, 2023 at 2:02 pm
Missed the poll but voted No Confidence.
Obviously.
November 9th, 2023 at 2:16 pm
Joe thinks 92% of us are just a basket of deplorables.
In his mind it’s asinine to remove this loser HC.
Same guy that fell in love with Jamoist.
November 9th, 2023 at 2:37 pm

VERY CONFIDENT 0% ….. even the Bowles family voted no confidence ….. bwahahahahahahaha

I Gotta ask… So what are you 8 guys “TOTALLY CONFIDENT” in? I’m not being a joker. I’m truly perplexed and super curious.
Maybe you guys have a secret to life that Would Sure help me out in mine.
