  • Ohio State Offensive Coordinator Chip Kelly Leaving Buckeyes for NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders


    Ohio State will have two new coordinators in 2025.

    Chip Kelly is leaving the Buckeyes after one year as Ohio State’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach to become the offensive coordinator of the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Pete Thamel.

    He becomes the third assistant coach to leave Ohio State this offseason, joining defensive coordinator Jim Knowles and offensive line coach Justin Frye. Knowles left the Buckeyes to become the defensive coordinator at Penn State while Frye left Ohio State to become the Arizona Cardinals’ offensive line coach.

    Per the terms of the three-year contract Kelly signed with Ohio State last year, Kelly will owe Ohio State a $350,000 buyout for leaving Ohio State to become an NFL assistant coach.

    Kelly had expressed interest in becoming an NFL offensive coordinator last offseason before he became Ohio State’s offensive coordinator. Kelly joined Ohio State’s staff last February, replacing Bill O’Brien when he left Ohio State after just three weeks as offensive coordinator to become the head coach at Boston College.

    Ryan Day turned to Kelly, who Day’s had a close relationship with since Kelly was his offensive coordinator during his playing days at the University of New Hampshire, to take over Ohio State’s offensive play calling in 2024, marking the first time in Day’s six-year tenure as head coach that he delegated play-calling duties.

    With Kelly calling Ohio State’s offensive plays and coaching the Buckeyes’ quarterbacks, Ohio State scored 35.7 points per game – an increase of more than five points per game from 2023 – and Will Howard completed a school-record 73% of his passes while leading the Buckeyes to a national championship.

    Now, Ohio State will be looking for a new offensive coordinator for the third year in a row. The Buckeyes previously promoted Brian Hartline to offensive coordinator in 2023 after Kevin Wilson left to become the head coach at Tulsa, though Hartline – who now holds the title of co-offensive coordinator – was not the primary play-caller in that role.

    While it’s possible Ohio State could turn to a familiar face like Wilson (who remains in the job market after Tulsa fired him in November) or Hartline to be the offensive coordinator again in 2025, Ohio State should have no shortage of interest from coordinators around the country in the opportunity to lead an offense that will feature a host of talented players led by superstar wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.

    Kelly returns to the NFL for the first time since he was the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles from 2013-15 and the San Francisco 49ers in 2016. He went on to be the head coach at UCLA from 2018-23 before leaving that post to join Day’s staff last offseason, citing a desire to spend more time coaching football rather than the CEO aspects of being a head coach.



    Ohio State Offensive Coordinator Chip Kelly Leaving Buckeyes for NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders

    In a shocking turn of events, Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly has announced that he will be leaving the Buckeyes to join the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders as their new offensive coordinator. Kelly, who has been with Ohio State for the past two seasons, has reportedly been offered a lucrative contract by the Raiders that he simply couldn’t turn down.

    Kelly’s departure comes as a blow to Ohio State fans, who have grown accustomed to his innovative offensive schemes and play-calling. Under Kelly’s guidance, the Buckeyes’ offense has been one of the most explosive in college football, averaging over 40 points per game during his tenure.

    While Ohio State will undoubtedly miss Kelly’s coaching prowess, the Raiders are getting a proven offensive mastermind who has had success at both the college and professional levels. Kelly’s up-tempo, high-scoring offense should fit right in with the Raiders’ aggressive style of play, and fans in Las Vegas can expect to see some exciting football in the coming seasons.

    As for Ohio State, the search for a new offensive coordinator is already underway. While Kelly’s shoes will be tough to fill, the Buckeyes are sure to attract top coaching talent as they look to maintain their status as one of the premier college football programs in the country.

  • Patriots interviewed ex-Chiefs offensive coordinator before hiring Josh McDaniels


    Even though Josh McDaniels was the favorite to earn the job all along, the New England Patriots interviewed several offensive coordinator candidates. Also among them was former Kansas City Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy, as was revealed by a recent report from NFL insider Jordan Schultz.

    “The belief was that Bieniemy was a top candidate for the New England job, had McDaniels not been the obvious choice,” Schultz wrote about the interview.

    Bieniemy, 55, started his coaching career at the college level in 2000 and primarily worked with running backs early on. His first stint in the NFL came with the Minnesota Vikings from 2006 to 2010. He returned to the league in 2013 with the Chiefs, first coaching their running backs and from 2018 to 2022 leading their offense as coordinator.

    After helping Kansas City win two Super Bowls, he left for the Washington Commanders in 2023. He spent 2024 at UCLA but was fired as the Bruins’ OC in December.

    In addition to Bieniemy, the Patriots also spoke to the aforementioned Josh McDaniels as well as Thomas Brown, Marcus Brady and Grant Udinski about the position held by Alex Van Pelt in 2024. They eventually hired McDaniels to fill it — his third stint with the organization — but also ended up bringing Brown aboard.

    The former Chicago Bears offensive coordinator and interim head coach will serve as the Patriots’ tight ends coach and pass game coordinator in 2025. Bieniemy following a similar path to a role on new head coach Mike Vrabel’s staff could happen, even though it seems less likely given the apparent interest he has from other teams and New England not having many openings left.



    The New England Patriots reportedly interviewed former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator, Eric Bieniemy, before ultimately hiring Josh McDaniels as their new head coach. Bieniemy, who has been widely regarded as one of the top coaching prospects in the NFL, was considered a strong candidate for the job.

    During his time with the Chiefs, Bieniemy helped lead one of the league’s most explosive offenses, working closely with star quarterback Patrick Mahomes. His innovative play-calling and ability to develop young talent made him a highly sought-after coaching candidate.

    Although the Patriots ultimately decided to go with McDaniels, Bieniemy’s interview with the team showcases his reputation as a top coaching candidate in the league. It will be interesting to see where Bieniemy lands next and how he continues to make an impact in the NFL.

  • 5 things to know about Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard


    The job Glenn did to maintain a pretty consistent level of play on defense this past year despite all the injuries on that side of the ball was pretty remarkable. When Sheppard hits the ground running in this new role come April, he’ll have plenty of pieces to work with.

    His linebacker room will be strong with Anzalone, Campbell and Rodriguez all under contract. We’ll see what the Lions opt to do with Barnes set to become a free agent.

    Detroit’s starting four upfront should be disruptive and versatile with Aidan Hutchinson, Alim McNeill, DJ Reader and Za’Darius Smith all under contract, plus a few key reserves coming back too.

    Kerby Joseph, Brian Branch, Amik Robertson, Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. are all back in the secondary and that’s an area Detroit’s expected to continue to develop and add to this offseason by either re-signing Carlton Davis III, adding another veteran in free agency or continuing to add young talent to the mix via the draft.

    Sheppard will have the pieces to implement his style of play and vision for this defense in 2025.

    Sheppard once considered cutting his dreadlocks, believing the look might hinder his ability to get a job coaching in the NFL. Campbell encouraged Sheppard to keep his hairstyle, saying it was part of the young coach’s identity. Sheppard never forgot that conversation with Campbell and it’s allowed him to be his authentic self throughout his coaching career.

    “I went through it and he’s like, ‘Thinking about cutting your what? What? Are you crazy? First of all, I love your hair,’” Sheppard said back in 2022. “He’s like, ‘But seriously, Shep, if I’m hiring you, if anybody’s hiring you, they’re hiring you because of you. You got those jobs because of who you are, not because of somebody you’re trying to become.’ And that resonated with me.”


    1. Former NFL Linebacker: Kelvin Sheppard played as a linebacker in the NFL for 8 seasons, suiting up for teams like the Buffalo Bills, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, New York Giants, and Detroit Lions.
    2. Coaching Experience: Sheppard transitioned into coaching after retiring from playing in 2018. He started as a defensive analyst at the University of Louisiana in 2019 before joining the Detroit Lions as a defensive assistant in 2020. He was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2021.
    3. Player Development: Sheppard is known for his ability to develop young players and help them reach their full potential. Under his guidance, the Lions defense has shown improvement and growth throughout the 2021 season.
    4. Defensive Philosophy: Sheppard’s defensive philosophy focuses on aggressive and physical play, emphasizing fundamentals and technique. He aims to create a unit that is disciplined, tough, and able to generate turnovers.
    5. Leadership Qualities: Sheppard is praised for his leadership qualities, including his communication skills, motivational tactics, and ability to connect with players. He is respected by his peers and players for his work ethic and dedication to the game.

  • 3 Lions on Thin Ice With John Morton as Offensive Coordinator


    The Detroit Lions established themselves as one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL in the past two years. But with Ben Johnson’s departure to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears, it represents a new era under new offensive coordinator John Morton.

    Morton isn’t completely unfamiliar with the Lions as he worked with Johnson as an offensive consultant during the 2022 season. His offense is also similar to the one he oversaw as the Denver Broncos passing game coordinator last season.

    The Athletic’s Colton Pouncy highlighted that Morton’s offense highlights a tendency to throw the ball downfield and create balance with a mix of play-action. While those strengths may create opportunities for some on Detroit’s roster, it may also put other players on thin ice as Morton takes over next season.

    The Lions added some veteran experience to their roster toward the end of training camp when they signed Allen Robinson II and Tim Patrick to the practice squad. Robinson had the name recognition as a former Pro Bowler but it was Patrick who took off and carved out a role on the active roster, catching 33 passes for 394 yards and three touchdowns.

    If the Lions are deciding between Patrick and Robinson for a spot on next year’s roster, Patrick’s previous experience working with Morton as a member of the Broncos could help him out. But Patrick could also have an advantage based on what Pouncy said about Morton’s desire to push the ball downfield.

    “If you look at the Broncos offense in 2024, you’ll find a few clues,” Pouncy wrote. “Of Denver’s pass attempts last season, 22.3 percent of them traveled 15 or more air yards and 13 percent traveled 20 or more air yards per TruMedia. Both of those marks were the ninth-highest in the NFL.

    “As for the Lions, just 18.5 percent of Detroit’s pass attempts traveled 15 or more air yards (25th in the NFL) and only eight percent traveled 20 or more air yards.”

    Pouncy mentioned that good coaching staffs adapt to their talent, meaning the screens that David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs thrived on and the short passes that fueled Amon-Ra St. Brown probably aren’t going anywhere. But it could be more relevant when it comes to which receivers stick on the roster.

    With St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Kalif Raymond as locks heading into next season, Patrick and Robinson could be battling for a spot. While Patrick averaged an average depth of target (aDOT) of 11.6 yards, Robinson only managed 7.3. Patrick also had an advantage in yards per route run with 1.15 compared to Robinson’s 0.71.

    It could signal the end for Robinson’s once promising career and have him losing his job to Patrick or a draft pick this spring.



    The Detroit Lions have found themselves in a precarious position with John Morton as their offensive coordinator. As the team navigates through a challenging season, they are facing mounting pressure to turn things around before it’s too late.

    Morton, a seasoned coach with a proven track record, was brought on board to revamp the Lions’ offense and bring a new level of creativity and efficiency to the team. However, so far, the results have been less than stellar.

    With only three wins under their belt and a struggling offense that ranks near the bottom of the league in several key categories, the Lions are skating on thin ice. The pressure is on Morton to find a way to ignite the team and get them back on track before it’s too late.

    As the Lions prepare for a crucial stretch of games that could make or break their season, all eyes will be on Morton and his ability to lead the offense to success. Can he turn things around and help the Lions claw their way back into playoff contention? Only time will tell. Stay tuned as the drama unfolds in Detroit.

  • Klayton Adams to join Cowboys as offensive coordinator under Brian Schottenheimer


    FRISCO, Texas — Things are moving quickly this week for the Dallas Cowboys as it relates to filling the vacancies within their coaching staff, for there are many to be filled, and not much time to do so. With Brian Schottenheimer being named head coach, Matt Eberflus as defensive coordinator and Nick Sorensen as special teams coordinator — offensive coordinator remained in flux, but no more, following two interviews with Klayton Adams.

    On Friday, Adams officially agreed to terms to join the Cowboys in that exact role, offensive coordinator, rounding out the top three seats behind Schottenheimer for 2025 and beyond, according to multiple reports.

    He beats out other candidates such as current Cleveland Browns’ offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey, current Atlanta Falcons’ tight ends coach Kevin Koger and Detroit Lions’ running backs coach Scott Montgomery, who all spoke with Dallas’ front office over the past few days.

    Adams heads to Dallas after spending the previous two seasons as the offensive line coach for the Arizona Cardinals, heralded for the turnaround he was able to bring about within that unit in the desert.

    His coaching resume extends much further back than 2023, though, having began in the collegiate ranks in 2005 — with stints as an offensive coordinator, run game coordinator, tight ends coach and running backs coach — before ascending to the NFL as assistant offensive line coach for the Indianapolis Colts in 2021.

    With Adams operating as O-line coach, the Cardinals’ rushing attack was ranked seventh in the NFL last season in total rushing yards (2,451) and trailed only the Baltimore Ravens, who boast both Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry, with a second-best league rushing yards per carry average (5.3 ypc).

    The Cardinals were also top-10 in rushing touchdowns (18), fifth-most in carries of 20-39 yards (17), and tied for first in the NFL in carries of 40 yards or more (7).

    It’s success that carried over from his inaugural 2023 season with the red birds.

    In contrast, the Cowboys struggled to get a rushing attack going due to a committee approach that failed fairly quickly, and while finally unleashing Rico Dowdle resulted in a career and record-breaking season for the former undrafted running back, the team as a whole was inept when it came to scoring on the ground —ranked 32nd in rushing touchdowns (6) and 27th in total rushing yards (1,705).

    The hope is that Adams can do for the Cowboys what he did for the Cardinals, though Dallas will now have to figure out their running back situation after releasing Ezekiel Elliott and as Rico Dowdle approaches free agency, but it should be noted he hails from Boise State, where a certain record-setting running back prospect hails from as well ahead of this year’s NFL Draft; and that the Cowboys have a longstanding pipeline to the school even prior to the arrival of Adams.

    It truly bears mentioning here.

    And though the play calling will belong to Schottenheimer, the task of helping to coordinate the offensive attack weekly, while also lending a hand to bolstering the impact of the offensive line, will most certainly be in the hands of Adams.



    The Dallas Cowboys have made a major coaching move, with Klayton Adams set to join the team as offensive coordinator under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. Adams, who previously served as the offensive line coach for the Indianapolis Colts, is known for his innovative offensive schemes and ability to develop young talent.

    With Adams on board, the Cowboys are hoping to revamp their offense and take it to the next level. Adams has a proven track record of success in the NFL and is widely regarded as one of the top young offensive minds in the league.

    Fans are excited to see what Adams will bring to the Cowboys’ offense and how he will work alongside Schottenheimer to create a dynamic and high-powered attack. With a talented roster that includes star quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott, the sky’s the limit for what this new coaching duo can accomplish.

    Stay tuned for more updates on Klayton Adams and the Dallas Cowboys as they prepare for the upcoming season. It’s sure to be an exciting time for Cowboys fans everywhere!

  • Dallas Cowboys news: Team considering Ken Dorsey as offensive coordinator


    Cowboys offensive coordinator rumors: Here’s who Dallas is closing in on to join Brian Schottenheimer’s staff – Garrett Podell, CBS Sports

    Ken Dorsey is a target for the next offensive coordinator in Dallas.

    Speaking at his introductory press conference Monday, Schottenheimer spoke about the pride he had in having top-ranked rushing offenses throughout his career as an offensive coordinator. It’s safe to say that will be a priority in Dallas in 2025.

    “We want to be able to run the ball,” Jones said. “Everybody says that we want to run the ball and we want to stop the run, and certainly that’s what we want to do. That’s what great championship football teams do, and I know coach Schottenheimer wants to do that. I think it’s real important that we find in this hire a coach that’s going to be outstanding in the run game area.”

    That’s why Dorsey is receiving consideration. His Buffalo offenses averaged the seventh-most rushing yards per game in the entire NFL in both 2022 (139.5) and 2023 (130.1).

    Dorsey’s 2024 attack in Cleveland, which averaged the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game (94.6) in the entire league, was set up to fail due to quarterback Deshaun Watson’s poor play before a season-ending injury and running back Nick Chubb’s season-ending injury. Dorsey ended up being the Browns’ fall guy after Cleveland went 3-14 to secure the 2025 NFL Draft’s second overall pick; head coach Kevin Stefanski gave him offensive play-calling duties during the season and has since taken them back for 2025 following Dorsey’s firing.

    New Report Reveals Why Jerry Jones Ultimately Parted Ways With Mike McCarthy – Madison Williams, Sports Illustrated

    The length of contract was the deal-breaker in resigning Mike McCarthy.

    ESPN’s Todd Archer reported on Thursday that McCarthy was adamant about agreeing to a five-year contract extension with the team. However, owner Jerry Jones apparently was stuck on a three-year deal. Both sides couldn’t agree on a deal, although the details of the contract the Cowboys offered McCarthy are unknown.

    It was previously reported that McCarthy “surprised” Jones by walking away from the negotiations. McCarthy has decided to not pursue any head coaching roles in the NFL for the 2025 season as the New Orleans Saints job is the only one still open.

    The Cowboys hired offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as McCarthy’s replacement. Schottenheimer agreed to a four-year deal with the team.

    Lunda Wells, Cowboys agree to terms on contract extension – Patrik Walker, DallasCowboys.com

    The Cowboys’ 2025 coaching staff will include some consistency by extending Lunda Wells.

    The heralded tight ends coach has agreed to terms on a contract extension that will keep him in the organization going forward, and that can only be seen as great news for Schottenheimer’s plans on offense and the continued development of talent like Jake Ferguson and Luke Schoonmaker.

    A native of Louisiana, Wells began his coaching career as an offensive line coach at the high school level before joining LSU as an offensive line assistant. He’d then land a promotion with the Tigers to assistant head coach and assistant special teams coach, ascending to the NFL when he signed on to become offensive line quality control coach of the New York Giants in 2012.

    His path ultimately led him to becoming the tight ends coach for the Giants before bringing those talents to the Cowboys in 2020, where he’s helped make household names out of Dalton Schultz and Jake Ferguson — two former fourth-round picks — Ferguson having earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2023.

    Fizzling Cowboys have lost their buzz. Here’s a quick way Jerry Jones can bring it back – Kevin Sherrington, Dallas Morning News

    Will drafting Ashton Jeanty bring excitement back to Dallas?

    The notion of using the 12th pick on a player who could give you a running start on catching Saquon Barkley and the Eagles, not to mention open vistas for Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, would certainly be appealing. The Boise State whirlwind would make play-calling easier for the new head coach. He’d top Rookie of the Year odds. He’d sell tickets and merch and hope…

    …Believe this: Jeanty’s talent will tempt more than just Jerry. The sight of Barkley running away from everyone this season as well as the resurgence of Derrick Henry will no doubt cause a reset in an undervalued market. Because defenses are harder than ever to diagnose, offenses need to counter with more playmakers wherever possible.

    The Cowboys, in particular, need more playmakers…

    …Jerry needs something to fire up a fan base that watched him sit on his hands last offseason, burning another year of their thinning patience. Letting Mike McCarthy walk satisfied some. But an incompetent search culminating in a first-time head coach at 51 didn’t answer the question of what “all in” really meant.

    NFL insider’s diary: Cowboys’ plan to get CeeDee Lamb some help – Tony Pauline, Sportskeeda

    The Cowboys may be taking a hard look at wide receiver early in the draft.

    I’m told the team will look for a receiver during the first two rounds of the draft to pair with CeeDee Lamb, who they signed to a massive contract extension last August. Aging veteran Brandin Cooks will be a free agent come March, and the team has no true No. 2 receiver.

    They will also look for help in the defensive front seven during the draft, specifically to stop the run. Dallas was the fourth-worst rushing defense in the league last season, surrendering 2,331 yards. Mazi Smith, the team’s 2023 first-round pick, has been a disappointment, and veteran middle linebacker Eric Kendricks is a free agent.

    Dallas also wants to resign center Brock Hoffman, yet they are debating how much to pay him. Hoffman is a restricted free agent coming off his terrific 2024 season, meaning he can’t really test the market despite the fact that teams other than the Cowboys are interested in him. Scenarios include Dallas placing a tender on him, which would guarantee his pay for at least one year or allow him to negotiate a deal that the Cowboys could then match. Of course, signing him to a multi-year deal is also an option.

    Finally, Dallas will likely look for a new offensive line coach, as they are not happy with the development of the unit. There’s a possibility they bring in a new offensive line coach to work with or replace Mike Solari, who presently leads the unit.



    The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly considering Ken Dorsey as their next offensive coordinator. Dorsey, who most recently served as the quarterbacks coach for the Buffalo Bills, is known for his strong offensive acumen and ability to develop young quarterbacks.

    With the Cowboys looking to revamp their offense after a disappointing season, Dorsey could be the perfect fit to help turn things around. His experience working with quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield could prove valuable in helping Dak Prescott reach his full potential.

    While nothing has been confirmed yet, the potential addition of Dorsey to the coaching staff is certainly exciting news for Cowboys fans. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.

  • 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

  • Buccaneers to promote Josh Grizzard to offensive coordinator


    The Buccaneers are keeping things in-house for their next offensive coordinator.

    Tampa Bay is promoting passing game coordinator Josh Grizzard to the position, according to a report from NFL Media.

    Grizzard, 34, joined the Bucs last offseason after spending 2017-2023 with the Dolphins, working as a quality control coach and receivers coach for the franchise.

    He came to Tampa Bay with former offensive coordinator Liam Coen a year ago, helping the club finish No. 3 in total yards and No. 4 in points. The team’s offense was No. 3 with 4,257 passing yards and No. 2 with 41 passing touchdowns.

    Promoting Grizzard will keep some continuity on the staff after another offensive coordinator departed the franchise after just one year. Tampa Bay lost Dave Canales after the 2023 season as he was hired to coach the Panthers. Now, Coen has departed the franchise to coach the Jaguars.





    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced that they will be promoting Josh Grizzard to the position of offensive coordinator for the upcoming season. Grizzard has been with the Buccaneers organization for several years and has proven himself to be a valuable asset to the team.

    For the third time in as many years, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were forced to search for a new offensive coordinator. This time, however, they are reportedly promoting from within.

    The Buccaneers are promoting former pass-game coordinator Josh Grizzard to offensive coordinator, according to NFL Media. Grizzard replaces Liam Coen, who accepted the Jacksonville Jaguars head coaching job last week. The 34-year-old Grizzard just wrapped up his first season with the Buccaneers, and is reportedly highly regarded in the building.

    Grizzard graduated from Yale in 2012, and began his coaching career in New Haven as a student assistant. He then joined the Duke Blue Devils as a grad assistant, and after four seasons, landed with the Miami Dolphins as an offensive quality control coach. Grizzard also coached the wide receivers down in Miami before being hired away by Tampa Bay. 

    The 10-7 Buccaneers won the NFC South in 2024 for a fourth consecutive season. The offense ranked No. 3 in total yards (399.5 yards per game), and No. 4 in points per game (29.5), while quarterback Baker Mayfield became just the third quarterback to ever throw for 4,500 yards and 40 touchdowns while completing 70% of his passes. He put up career-high numbers across the board with 4,500 passing yards and 41 touchdowns, but did tie the league high with 16 interceptions.





    The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reportedly promoted Josh Grizzard to offensive coordinator following the departure of Liam Coen to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Grizzard, who previously served as the team’s quarterbacks coach, is set to take on a larger role in guiding the Buccaneers’ high-powered offense.

    With quarterback Tom Brady at the helm and a host of talented playmakers at his disposal, Grizzard will have plenty to work with as he steps into his new role. The Buccaneers are coming off a Super Bowl victory and will look to maintain their offensive prowess under Grizzard’s leadership.

    While losing Coen to the Jaguars is certainly a blow, the Buccaneers are confident that Grizzard is more than capable of stepping up and continuing to push their offense to new heights. Fans will surely be eager to see how Grizzard puts his stamp on the team’s offense in the upcoming season.
