Byron Leftwich Interviewing For Patriots Head-Coaching Job
19 hours agoFormer Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich is interviewing for the New England Patriots' head-coaching position on Tuesday, according to sources. Leftwich helped the Buccaneers win Super Bowl LV, serving as the team's offensive coordinator under head coaches Bruce Arians and Todd Bowles from 2019-22. The Buccaneers ranked third twice and second in scoring from 2019-21. Tom Brady famously arrived in Tampa in 2020 to help take the Bucs' offense to another level while working with Leftwich. Leftwich was reportedly close to being name the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars before the 2022 season, with the job ultimately going to Doug Pederson. He hasn't coached the last two seasons but is looking to get back into coaching at the NFL level. Leftwich appeared in 60 games (50 starts) during his playing career with the Jaguars, Falcons, Steelers and Bucs.
