Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are still smarting after their season came to an end earlier this week at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys.
One of the Buccaneers' first moves since the loss has been to fire offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. However, fans weren't satisfied with just Leftwich's exit and have called for head coach Todd Bowles to be removed from his role as well.

Tom Brady's season ends in eerily similar way to ending with Patriots
Before Tom Brady left the New England Patriots after the 2019 season, many believed he had hit his final decline. Of course, since then, he's won another championship. However, "TB12's" performance in his final year before ditching the team lines up with how 2022 went.
In 2019, he threw for 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions before losing his first playoff game in a contest he didn't play well in. In that game against the Tennessee Titans, he completed 20 of 37 passes for 209 yards, one interception, and zero touchdowns.
In 2022, Brady threw for 25 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 17 games during the regular season. He lost his first playoff game 31-14 against the Dallas Cowboys and put in a below-par display, completing 35 of 66 passes for 351 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.
In the game, he completed just 53 percent of his passes and threw arguably one of the ugliest interceptions of the weekend.
With his season now over, fans are speculating about Tom Brady's future. Unlike last year, his life is quite a bit different this year. During the season, Brady divorced his wife and during last year's tumultuous offseason, he signed a 10-year deal with Fox to call NFL games.
At this point, he can return to the gridiron or head to the broadcast booth. Considering he has already retired once, the quarterback has gotten a taste of what life would be like. Many believe that if he walks away again, it will be for good.
If Tom Brady elects to return to the gridiron again, fans believe it will not be with the Buccaneers.
One of the top places fans and pundits are connecting the quarterback to is the Las Vegas Raiders, who are in the process of moving on from Derek Carr. Josh McDaniels is the Raiders' head coach and was a former coordinator for Brady. Many believe that their history could lead to the two joining forces.
However, most also expect Brady to not jump into any decisions like last year. What will he ultimately decide?
