They didn’t come remotely close to winning, but two Tampa Bay Buccaneers coaches received votes for two year-end awards for the 2023 NFL season.
Both head coach Todd Bowles and former Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales both were among the coaches receiving votes for Coach of the Year and Assistant of the Year for the Associated Press. On the player side, quarterback Baker Mayfield and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. were up for Comeback Player of the Year and Walter Payton Man of the Year, respectfully, but neither won those awards.
Bowles received one third-place vote for Coach of the Year in the system’s ranked-choice voting, earning him just one point and leaving him in a three-way tie for 10th. Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel and Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott were the other two coaches with just one point.
