The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have named former Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson as their new offensive coordinator, the team announced Thursday.
Robinson was not retained in Atlanta following the firing of coach Raheem Morris. The duo spent two seasons together with the Falcons, finishing 8-9 in both campaigns.
Tampa Bay recently dismissed first-year offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard as part of a coaching staff overhaul under Todd Bowles. The Buccaneers’ offense struggled in 2025, ranking 21st in total offense, a significant drop from third in 2024, and scoring 21.4 points per game compared with 28.6 the previous season.
“Zac is one of the bright offensive minds in our game, and during the interview process, I was very impressed with his plan for getting the most out of the talent we have on that side of the ball,” Bowles said in a statement.
“He has a very good understanding of the strengths of our top offensive players from his time in the division the past two years, and I am very confident in his ability to teach and develop our young players.”
Robinson will become Tampa Bay’s fifth offensive coordinator in five seasons, and the fourth in four years to work with quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Byron Leftwich was let go after the 2022 season, followed by Dave Canales, who helped Mayfield revive his career in 2023 before taking the Carolina Panthers head coaching job. Liam Coen guided Mayfield to his best season in 2024 before departing for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
In 2025, Robinson helped the Falcons navigate a challenging transition to quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Atlanta finished 14th in total offense but just 24th in scoring, as Penix suffered an ACL injury in November, forcing Kirk Cousins to step in as the starter.
Robinson began his coaching career with the Los Angeles Rams, eventually rising to passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2022 and 2023, working briefly with Mayfield for five games in 2022.
