Rob Gronkowski says Buccaneers' Todd Bowles is on the hot seat

Summary

Rob Gronkowski expressed that discussions about potentially firing Todd Bowles as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are underway. Bowles has overseen a troubling trend, with the team losing ten of their last twelve games and starting this season at 0-3. Gronkowski emphasized that a change is necessary, citing a lack of winning culture within the organization. With Baker Mayfield injured, rookie Jalon Daniels is set to start against the Green Bay Packers, raising the stakes further. The Buccaneers have not made the playoffs since 2019 and face an uphill battle to turn their season around.
