The Buccaneers continue their offensive coordinator search following Friday’s interview with former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers continued their search Saturday for a new offensive coordinator to replace Josh Grizzard.
After interviewing former Titans head coach Brian Callahan Friday, the Buccaneers conducted two more interviews on Saturday for the vacant job, David Shaw and Israel Woolfork, the team announced.
Shaw has plenty of NFL experience. He spent the 2025 season as the passing game coordinator for the Detroit Lions under head coach Dan Campbell and now-former offensive coordinator John Morton.
Shaw coached in the NFL for nine seasons (1997-2005) with the Philadelphia Eagles, Oakland Raiders and Baltimore Ravens before joining the college ranks.
He coached one year at San Diego before moving to Stanford. He was the offensive coordinator for Jim Harbaugh for four seasons and then took over as head coach in 2011 when Harbaugh became head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.
Woolfork just finished his third season as quarterbacks coach for the Arizona Cardinals but is now free to interview after the Cardinals fired head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Woolfork got his coaching start in 2013 as a graduate assistant at Miami of Ohio, and also coached running backs (2015-2017) and receivers (2018-2021) there. Woolfork also worked with the Bill Walsh and Bill Willis coaching fellowships in 2021 and 2022 with the Cleveland Browns.
To this point, the Buccaneers have only interviewed the three named candidates in Callahan, Shaw and Woolfork.
Other names that have been floated around as potential candidates include Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase, Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken and perhaps former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel.
Whoever takes over the Buccaneers job will javelin the task of improving the 21st-best offense overall in the NFL in 2025 as the team became ineffective over the second half of the season, leading to their 2-7 mark following a 6-2 start and ultimately missing the playoffs after losing a tiebreaker to the Carolina Panthers.
Grizzard was in his first season as offensive coordinator after being promoted from passing game coordinator to replace Liam Coen after he left to become the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Tampa Bay will have their fifth different offensive coordinator in as many seasons under head coach Todd Bowles, following Byron Leftwich, Dave Canales, Coen and Grizzard.
