Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles has had to deal with speculation over his future for the past month.
With the team nosediving and winning just two of their last nine games en route to missing the playoffs, despite Todd signing a three-year extension in June of 2025, some fans want a change.
Until the franchise comes out and one way or another stops the rumors, it will be a topic of discussion.
But Bowles has one supporter -- tackle Tristan Wirfs.
"I love Coach Bowles," Wirfs said. "I see all the talk on Twitter, I really don't care about it. It's just people that are sitting at home talking about it. We know what we have in this building. Yeah, something happens, something happens. If something doesn't, something doesn't. The season's coming regardless. I know we're all going to be ready."

Could Bucs move on from Bowles?
They could, but there's a lot to consider.
With the number of years left on his contract, one would think the payout is going to be substantial.
So, there's that.
The other part is, who are the Buccaneers going to get that is better than Bowles? John Harbaugh just became available. Maybe he is a candidate?
Either way, Bowles, despite signing the long contract extension, appears to be on shaky ground with his future.
Granted, it could all be due to the fans making their voices heard.
But either way, the Buccaneers have to end this feeling one way or another.
