The Eagles are entering Week 2 without an offensive coordinator, and the team is slated to interview for Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard on Monday, Jordan Schultz reports. Tampa Bay fired the first-year offensive coordinator as part of a series of changes to the coaching staff last Thursday.
The Buccaneers also fired special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey, quarterbacks coach Thad Lewis, defensive line coach Charlie Strong, and cornerbacks coach Kevin Ross. Grizzard was promoted to offensive coordinator last January to replace Liam Coen, who left the Bucs to become the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Grizzard previously served as Tampa Bay's pass game coordinator in 2024 and was responsible for third-down play-calling, leading the league with a 50.9% conversion rate that season.
In Grizzard's lone season as offensive coordinator, the Buccaneers regressed on offense statistically in 2025, finishing 21st in the NFL in total offense despite an attack led by Mayfield, six-time Pro Bowl receiver Mike Evans, star left tackle Tristan Wirfs, and promising young running back Bucky Irving.
Tampa Bay went from averaging 28.6 offensive points per game in 2024 with Coen to 21.4 with Grizzard and sank to a 41.2% conversion rate on third down.
