Bucs Interview Mike McDaniel for OC | Todd Bowles’ Defining Gamble + Monken, Kafka & Special Teams Shakeup

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are making big, franchise-altering moves — and it all starts with one name: Mike McDaniel. On today’s episode of The Bucs Report, we break down the Bucs’ completed interview with former Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel for offensive coordinator, why Todd Bowles may be betting his job on this hire, and how this search signals a dramatic shift in Tampa Bay’s offensive philosophy. We also dive into: • Why McDaniel would have full control of the offense under Bowles • How Baker Mayfield, the WR room, and a healthy O-line make Tampa a prime landing spot • Todd Monken’s return to the conversation — and his Giants leverage • The crowded OC market and why the Bucs are racing the clock • The quiet but critical special teams overhaul after a disastrous 2025 season • Why Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and Miami coaches are being targeted This isn’t just about play-calling — this is about identity, power, and whether the Buccaneers are truly ready to evolve in a modern NFL. Is Mike McDaniel the answer? Is Todd Bowles protecting himself… or gambling everything? Let’s get into it. 👇 Drop your thoughts in the comme Learn more about your ad choices.
