The Buccaneers had three Black coordinators and two female coaches as they masterminded a victory over the supposedly unstoppable Chiefs on Sunday
It’s hardly a shocker that Tom Brady won the Super Bowl MVP on Sunday night. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense put up 31 points, and Brady was largely mistake-free (minus a near Tyrann Mathieu pick) as his team rolled to victory. But if there was a Most Valuable Person award that honored the most crucial contributor to the Bucs’ win, it would go to a different TB: defensive coordinator Todd Bowles.
The Buccaneers defense entered Raymond James Stadium on a mission. The chips on their shoulders were more like mountains. They were sick of hearing about the Chiefs’ weapons and prolific offense. The wounds of allowing Tyreek Hill to collect 203 yards in the first-quarter of their Week 12 matchup were still fresh.

Thank you Bruce Arians for showing the world that all 3 of your coordinators can be black, your assistant head coach can be black, you can have 2 full time women coaches and be the best team in the world. BA you’re a trail blazer. Leadership doesn’t have a look!
