Todd Bowles on the hot seat? @PriscoCBS: "That thing is searing underneath him right now ... they look poorly coached." #justfootball

When Baker is asked why he’s ass this year…

And why Baker will never be TB12

Todd Bowles defense in 2 images

After going through the tape on the Bucs from Sunday, here are 10 things I think I think: 1. ZRob has more good than bad going on and I'd lean towards the positive on how this progresses. 2. The difference between ZRob and Canales/Coen so far is that ZRob isn't giving Baker the answer to the test like his predecessors did. That's big for Baker because it gives him a clear look which VASTLY improves his confidence and decision making. 3. Baker wasn't great but he wasn't as bad as I thought. Still pressing too much. Still not seeing the field as cleanly as they need him to. 4. The defense is about as piss poor as I've ever seen it under Bowles. 5. It was clear Bowles had no idea what Monken was going to call. A handful of situations where the Bucs had no shot because the playcall vs. what the Browns came out in, it was dead in the water before the snap. 6. On top of that, there were multiple misalignments by the Bucs that put them in bad positions to defend what was coming. 7. Anzalone is a liability and directly responsible for 14 points. 8. Based on all the issues with the defense, I'm willing to say the green dot needs to be moved off Anzalone ASAP. 9. The run game has been a bright spot. Bucky looks terrific. 10. If it continues to be effective, it can take the heat off the defense by subjecting them to fewer snaps and also making Baker not have to try to do it all himself. Bonus: While the OL has looked bad at first glance, most of the problems stem from some bad play at LG. They've gotta get that fixed. If they can, the offense stands to benefit big time.

I made a song about “Coach It & Play It Better” 😂 suno.com/s/WBQw2NzCFxSbP0qG

The Bucs Need to Bench Alex Anzalone 🚨 #alexanzalone #bucs #nfl

"The panic meter on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is incredibly high.. The breakdowns in the second half on defense we're so significant.. They called seven screens on offense yesterday and none of them worked" ~ @danorlovsky7 #PMSLive

Mike Evans signing a Bucs jersey last night 🥲

Mandami and AOC sharing a good laugh while the names of 9/11 victims are read is quite the visual

The SEC accusing LSU of “lack of institutional control” hits differently when you look at the timeline: 2011-12 — NCAA major-infractions case. Recruiting violations. LSU put on probation. 2012-17 — Booster John Paul Funes provides $180K in impermissible benefits to a football player’s family using money embezzled from a hospital foundation. 2013 — Les Miles investigation intentionally stored offsite. AD Joe Alleva recommends firing him. LSU keeps him. 2017-19 — Will Wade caught on FBI wiretap discussing a “strong-ass offer.” 2019 — LSU suspends Wade after he refuses to meet with LSU/NCAA officials. Reinstates him 5 weeks later. 2020 — LSU’s handling of sexual misconduct allegations exposed. 2020 — Odell Beckham Jr. hands LSU players cash after the national title. 2020 — LSU self-imposes scholarship cuts, recruiting restrictions and a bowl ban amid the NCAA investigation. LSU’s statement: “This decision reflects LSU’s commitment to compliance with NCAA regulations and maintenance of institutional control.” 2021 — Independent review finds systemic Title IX failures. Verge Ausberry suspended 30 days without pay. 2022 — LSU fires Wade after an NCAA Notice of Allegations containing multiple Level I allegations. 2022 — Separate NCAA case: Football commits COVID dead-period recruiting violations. One year probation. 2023 — IARP resolves the football/basketball case: multiple violations, failure to monitor, 37 football wins vacated and 3 more years probation, beginning when the prior probation ended Sept. 21, 2023. The NCAA also alleged lack of institutional control. The IARP did not sustain that allegation. 2024 — LSU pays $1.9M to settle Title IX claims. No admission of liability. 2026 — LSU rehires Will Wade. The AD announcing the hire? Verge Ausberry. 2026 — Wade pursues international pros, an NBA draft pick and players with professional basketball experience. 2026 — LSU pursues outside capital tied to future SEC media revenue. 2026 — LSU pushes to add players who signed NFL contracts and went through NFL camps. Sept. 2026 — The SEC sues LSU. Ausberry is a named defendant. LSU ultimately leaves the former NFL players off its final roster. The SEC presses forward anyway. Its amended complaint says LSU’s actions “confirm the lack of institutional control over the athletics program at LSU that is required by Article 6 of the SEC Constitution.” At the informal direction of the other 15 SEC presidents and chancellors, Sankey calls a Special Meeting for Sept. 10 to consider terminating LSU’s membership — whether LSU backs off the professional players or not. And LSU is still on NCAA probation. It expires Sept. 21. Twelve days from now. Different coaches. Different scandals. Same institution. And in some cases, the same people.

Parents weekend is set!
