After losing seven of their last nine games and letting the NFC South Championship fall through the cracks, some Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans wanted the team to fire Todd Bowles. 

The winningest coach in Bucs history doesn't approve of this mindset.

When speaking on the Ronde Barber Show last Friday during Super Bowl week, Jon Gruden urged Buccaneers fans to support Bowles instead of calling for his firing. 

“I think people in Tampa, I know everybody wants to fire their coach now. You know, they all want to fire the offensive coordinator — Philadelphia, the Chargers. ‘They need to fire that guy;’ 10 head coaches [fired this year],” Gruden said. “And people, I hear the radio. I hear. You know, they’re on Todd Bowles. I think we gotta somehow get everybody on the same page. He’s our coach. We gotta get behind this guy, man. And we gotta have a good draft. We gotta get some edge rushers. And we gotta get some of these guys out of the training room.”
