Buccaneers promoting Josh Grizzard to offensive coordinator
In his first year as Tampa’s pass game coordinator, Grizzard played a vital role in an offense that powered the Buccaneers toward their fourth consecutive NFC South title. The unit finished third in the league in total yards per game (399.5) while also boasting the NFL’s third-best passing unit (250.4 YPG). That air attack allowed the Bucs’ ground game to flourish, too, finishing fourth in the league (149.2 YPG).
Baker Mayfield had a field day in Coen’s system and under Grizzard’s aerial direction, producing career-highs in completions (407), completion percentage (71.4), passing yards (4,500), touchdowns (41) and passer rating (106.8).
Mayfield did it all despite losing Chris Godwin to a season-ending ankle injury and Mike Evans for a period of time, indicating the great job done by the staff and the players who needed to step up.
The Buccaneers are evidently hoping continuity maintains Mayfield’s resurgence in Tampa, and they will now hand the keys over to a 34-year-old coach.
Grizzard spent seven seasons with the Miami Dolphins before his first year with the Bucs, serving as a quality control coach before taking over the wide receiver room. He played defensive back at Yale for three seasons before ending his collegiate career as a student coaching assistant.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced that they are promoting Josh Grizzard to the position of offensive coordinator. Grizzard, who has been with the team for several years, has proven himself to be a valuable asset to the coaching staff.
In his new role, Grizzard will be responsible for overseeing the team’s offensive game plan and play calling. His knowledge of the game and innovative approach to coaching make him the perfect candidate for the job.
Head coach Bruce Arians expressed his confidence in Grizzard’s abilities, stating, “Josh has been an integral part of our coaching staff and has shown a great understanding of the game. I have no doubt that he will excel in his new role as offensive coordinator.”
Fans are excited to see what Grizzard will bring to the table and are looking forward to a successful season under his leadership. Congratulations to Josh Grizzard on his well-deserved promotion! #GoBucs #Buccaneers #JoshGrizzard #OffensiveCoordinator
