![]() He used up all his excuses last season, and is the incumbent. He’s well used to it by now after all these years in “The League”. In a truly GREAT athlete in ANY sport the pressure to succeed is far more intense from within their ultracompetitive minds than anything a fan or writer can produce.īowles just wants to win! He could give a crap about pressure. BB in the coaching ranks comes to mind…as do some of the GOATS of the game but they too felt pressure. The NFL is and has always been a pressure cooker for all but a lucky few. I’m looking forward to see how much our new OC can overachieve with the talent he has in Tampa. Since when has a garbage HC ever became a winner!ĭave Canales? new state, new city, new team, new job, new players, and new bosses. Stefanski of the Browns was listed at $3.5 mil lowest in NFL Until that time, it’s my guy is better than your guy.īTW, highest paid HC is Belicheat at $20 mil and a few others close behind. Only then will we really find out whether they have it or not. Hopefully, Canales’ offense will give the QB every opportunity to succeed, regardless of which one wins the job. I can’t find Todd’s head coach salary, but he was making $3 mil as DC. Huge difference that got reflected in the final W-L records each season. Our average defensive ranking was #23 in 2016-2018, instead our average ranking of #9 in 2019-2021. Kinda wonder how Bruce Arians would’ve done in 2019-2021 if he’d had Mike Smith as his DC instead of Todd Bowles. He’s playing the hand he was dealt, and that’s about all he can do right now. Pressure mounting on Todd Bowles? By who, the media? Oh my gosh, I’m sure that he’s shaking in his boots. ![]() Right now every head coach in the league thinks his team has a chance to make the playoffs.īoth have a lot to lose… but most backup QBs make more than DCs…Just ask Jameis & Mike Glennon Neither! At this time of year coaches and players feel optimism not pressure. I will say this HE IS A MASTER at deflection RelaxĬan we not forget Bowles had a losing season with a great QB and a Super Bowl team ![]() Pressure is generated from losses not OTAs. If they get it this year Bowles can take credit for The Miracle Bucs. Which seems like a Bucs/Todd thing to do.īrady, not Bowles got the Bucs to the playoffs with losing record. Otherwise, Todd is putting his job on the line for a guy worse than Winston throughout his career. Hopefully he is afforded that opportunity as a backup and in the unlikely event Kyle does a face plant. It’s a shame that this will be a lost season. There will be a new starting QB and Head Coach for the 2024 season. The way Mayfield has been buried nationally by reporters, columnists and analysts since signing with the Bucs, Joe guesses Mayfield’s stock across the league isn’t all that great.Ģ8 Responses to “Pressure Mounting On Todd Bowles”Įvery single person in an NFL franchise feels pressure to perform all the time. Mayfield? He might have more trouble finding work. He won’t have trouble finding work if things go south this fall, just not as a head coach. Bowles, at worst, is one of the great defensive minds in the game. It is an interesting trying to figure out who has more to lose. Todd Bowles, meanwhile, has even more pressure on his shoulders after last year’s struggles and early playoff exit. … … This is a great opportunity for Baker Mayfield to try to revive his career and show that he’s more of the guy who played well with the Rams late last season than the dude who struggled and got benched and released by the Panthers. And this may be why Jones, typing an offseason winners and losers list, has the Bucs in the losers category. It seems a desperate quarterback and a desperate head coach is a bad mix, types Mike Jones of The Athletic. NFL history says he won’t be employed as a head coach if that streak grows to five. Bowles now has four straight losing seasons as a head coach. Yeah, he got the Bucs to the playoffs - with a losing record. This is his second stint as a head coach. One could also make that argument for Bowles. If he doesn’t have a strong season, he may never start again save for an injury. So, who has more pressure on his shoulders, Bucs coach Todd Bowles or Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield.
