That\u2019s incredible.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p>Anyway, back to Grizz. The 35-year-old played safety at Yale before beginning his coaching career as a student.

Interesting to see that Grizzard seemingly took a demotion to stay in Miami after his two-year stint as a position coach.<\/p>\n<p>The Bucs hired Grizzard to assist Liam Coen in replacing Dave Canales as Tampa\u2019s offensive coordinator. Then Grizzard replaced Coen as OC in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Grizzard\u2019s sole season as a play-caller resulted in the Bucs ranking 19th in points and 20th in yards. He was fired after just one year on the job.<\/p>\n<p>In fairness, Tampa dealt with <em>a lot <\/em>of injury issues in 2025. But it\u2019s hard to ignore how the Bucs fell off a cliff and finished 8-9 after their 6-2 start.<\/p>\n<p>There was a point last season when Baker Mayfield was generating MVP buzz, so, that much probably contributes to the Eagles having interest in him. But one would think they\u2019re looking for either a more proven candidate or a higher upside swing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bleedinggreennation.com\/news\/169307\/eagles-offensive-coordinator-search-reportedly-includes-josh-grizzard\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a> Brandon Lee Gowton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another day, another Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator candidate to add to BGN\u2019s tracker.
