Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to go into Todd Bowles, head coach and manager Jason Licht on multi -work contracts, according to NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo on Thursday, according to sources. The team later announced the news.
“Jason and Todd’s leadership have been crucial for the organization’s success. The victory culture they have come up with has a good future for us,” said Joel Glazer, owner of Bucs in a statement. “The continuous and stability they provide will play a major role in our ability to compete for an additional title.”
Bowles is 27-24 in three seasons as Bucs coach, which leads Tampa Bay to three NFC South titles in a row-he is the first coach in the team’s history to manage even two direct teams.
“I am excited to continue working with Jason for years to come as we are based on the results we have enjoyed and continue to achieve even bigger and better goals. My family loves Tampa and we look forward to delivering more great times for our fans in the coming seasons,” Bowles said in a statement. “I also appreciate the confidence that the Glazer family has shown in my ability to lead this football. It is a responsibility that I do not take lightly and am honored to have.”
In his 11 seasons as Buccaneers GM, Licht has a 85-95 record.
“I am very grateful to the Glazer family for the trust and faith they have shown in what we are doing here,” Licht added in a statement. “I am also very excited to continue working on Todd well into the future as we continue our tasks to find and develop talented players and chase additional title for our fans.”
