Joe’s not sure if Team Glazer proverbially showed Todd Bowles the money last month, but they did extend his contract through the 2028 season.
It’s unclear whether Bowles’ initial contract was through 2025 or 2026.
Regardless, one of Bowles’ young Bucs is eager to tell the world Team Glazer made the right move.
YaYa Diaby explained that Bowles is there for players and are all about what he’s selling.
“First of all, shoutout to everybody that went into giving him that extension because he’s definitely that coach that all the guys buy into,” Diaby told SirusXM NFL Radio. “And, you know, him being a defensive-mind coach, and me being on the defensive side, it helped me out a lot in my first two seasons, and it’s just going to keep improving.
“Having a guy like Coach Bowles where you can go talk to him at any time of the day and, you know, he will never turn down a conversation with you. He’ll tell you how it is and you love a coach like that, somebody that’s also going to push you to the limit. I feel like that’s why guys love fighting for Coach Bowles. I’m super-excited for him to get that extension. And it’s time to get him another Super Bowl but this time him being the head coach.”
Yes, Tampa Bay players are excited about their head coach. A Pro Bowl quarterback leads their stellar offense. The defense is loaded with raw talent and experience, and the Bucs signed a big-bucks punter to complement their money kicker.
Now it’s time for Bowles to win — in the postseason.
