TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A person with knowledge of the decision tells The Associated Press that Byron Leftwich has been fired as offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Bucs haven’t announced the move, which comes three days after the Bucs were eliminated from the playoffs by the Dallas Cowboys and only two years after Leftwich helped Tom Brady win the quarterback’s seventh Super Bowl title. Leftwich held the position for four seasons, joining the Bucs when Bruce Arians was hired as coach in 2019.
