The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are paying it forward with a new program designed to help aspiring coaches.
The team announced Tuesday that it is starting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers National Coaching Academy, which looks to create an entry point into the NFL for aspiring coaches. The program will take applicants with at least three years of coaching experience at any level and will narrow down to twenty-five finalists to participate in the academy. Of those participants, five will be selected for the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship after the camp’s conclusion in 2024.
Bucs head coach Todd Bowles, former HCs Bruce Arians and Tony Dungy, general manager Jason Licht and Bucs hall of famer Ronde Barber are all assisting with the program.
The initial application process opens as of writing and closes on Jan. 31, 2024.
