The Tampa Bay Buccaneers proved some doubters wrong in the 2023 NFL season as they won the NFC South and made it to the NFC Divisional Round of the 2023 NFL Playoffs.

Baker Mayfield replaced Tom Brady as the Buccaneers’ starting quarterback and performed admirably, while defensively the team hovered around league average.

Tampa Bay lost offensive coordinator Dave Canales who left to become the new head coach of the Carolina Panthers.

The Buccaneers moved quickly to replace him, hiring Liam Coen from the University of Kentucky.

However, Tampa Bay also has to figure out the special teams coordinator role as Keith Armstrong is retiring from the league.

The team has interviewed multiple candidates and recently met with two more coaches for the job via Josh Alper of ProFootballTalk.

“The team conducted a virtual interview with University of Iowa special teams coordinator LeVar Woods and an in-person interview with Saints assistant special teams coach Phil Galiano,” Alper wrote.

LeVar Woods played seven seasons in the NFL and has spent the last 16 years on Iowa’s staff, with six of them leading the special teams unit.

Meanwhile, Phil Galiano has ties to the Buccaneers as he was an assistant special teams coach in 2012 and 2013.

To date, Tampa Bay has met with several candidates for the job and will likely take their time going through the interview process.

With most of the coaching staff intact outside of special teams, the Buccaneers could very well be more dangerous in 2024.
