According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles and general manager Jason Licht are likely to remain in their positions even if the team fails to make the playoffs. Injuries have significantly impacted the team, and both Bowles and Licht signed extensions in June, making a buyout costly. Despite their struggles, Tampa Bay could still clinch the NFC South with a win over the Panthers and a favorable outcome in the Falcons-Saints game. Bowles has a 34-33 record in Tampa, while Licht has overseen a 92-104 record with a Super Bowl victory during his tenure.
