Josh Grizzard Can't Crash The Buccaneers' Ferrari In 2025

Josh Grizzard Can't Crash The Buccaneers' Ferrari In 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports.The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continued their recent tradition of losing an offensive coordinator in the offseason, with Dave Canales (2023) and Liam Coen (last season) getting head coaching jobs.Now, the Buccaneers' offense is in the hands of first-time play caller Josh Grizzard, who was the passing game coordinator under Coen last year.Grizzard now takes leadership of one of the most explosive offenses in football and has to build on the great work Coen did last season.

Plus, he has another weapon in first-round receiver Emeka Egbuka.And for ESPN's Benjamin Solak, Grizzard has a big responsibility to keep this Ferrari on the road in 2025."The new offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay, Grizzard steps into Liam Coen's shoes as the playcaller for Baker Mayfield and a Bucs offense that returns every single starter from last season (and adds Emeka Egbuka, a first-round wide receiver from Ohio State)," Solak writes."The Bucs were one bounce away from a wild-card win over the Commanders last season, and that was with an injury-riddled defense.

If they are healthier on that side of the ball, they look like a bona fide NFC contender ...

so long as you assume the offense doesn't take a step back with Coen's departure.

A huge responsibility is on Grizzard's shoulders."FanStreamSportscomWith weapons that include Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, Cade Otton, Egbuka, Jalen McMillan, plus running backs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White, who will be running behind the same five offensive linemen as they did last year (minus Tristan Wirfs due to injury), all the pieces are there.Some have used yet another coordinator for Baker Mayfield as a reason for why the Buccaneers' offense might regress, but Grizzard's scheme isn't totally new, given that he was in the building last season.But for us, the big question is how will Josh go calling plays with live NFL bullets flying? Plus, can he keep what was one of the best offenses in football last year among the league's best in his first year? Grizzard has been given the keys to a Ferrari.

He can't afford to crash it into a ditch.Related: Buccaneers' Defensive Back Tabbed for 'Substantial Role' in 2025Related: Buccaneers Continuity Key To Baker Mayfield's 2025 FormThis story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 18, 2025, where it first appeared..
