A new Tampa Bay Buccaneers' talking point across the internet is the concept of Tom Brady’s NFL days being far from over— More specifically, his days in Tampa Bay.
That brings us to the latest from TWSN which considers the possibility of Brady returning to the Bucs as their next head coach.
Tom Brady joining the Tampa Bay Bucs may not be the craziest concept considering it did already happen once, however, a TB12 return to Tampa does seem unlikely.
Currently, the Buccaneers have a head coach— Todd Bowles. While some remain skeptical of Bowles and may not believe that he represents the future of the team, Bowles hasn't done anything worthy of termination.

Through his two seasons as Tampa's head coach, the Buccaneers have won two NFC South titles and a playoff game. Bowles accomplished this despite being cap-strapped and having to switch quarterbacks, while transitioning from an older team inside a closing championship window to a younger team trying to open their own.
Tom Brady is, of course, slated to be a FOX broadcaster this season and for at least the next few years— Brady is signed to a 10-year contract worth $375 million. That doesn't make a Brady return to Tampa Bay any less intriguing.
Ironically, if the Buccaneers did decide to move on from Bowles in favor of Brady, then everything would have truly come full circle in Tampa. Todd Bowles, in part, receiving the job due to Tom Brady returning to Tampa Bay as a player, only to lose the job to Tom Brady re-returning, as a coach.
