Bucs Promote Josh Grizzard to Offensive Coordinator

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have promoted Josh Grizzard from pass game coordinator to offensive coordinator following Liam Coen's departure to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Grizzard, who spent one successful season with the Buccaneers, was instrumental in achieving the league's best third-down conversion rates and played a key role in quarterback Baker Mayfield's standout performance, which included career highs in completion percentage and passing touchdowns. The Buccaneers considered several external candidates before deciding that Grizzard was the best fit to maintain continuity within the team. Coach Todd Bowles praised Grizzard's innovative ideas and familiarity with the offense, which are crucial for the team's sustained success. Grizzard's promotion is seen as a move to leverage the Bucs' explosive offense, with several key players returning for the next season. Grizzard's coaching career began at Yale and included a stint with the Miami Dolphins before joining Tampa Bay in 2024.
