The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fired Byron Leftwich’s offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski. The good news for Leftwich is they promoted his quarterback coach Greg Olson. I don’t see this move having any effect on Lefwich’s job status but you have to feel bad for Jagodzinski. Jagodzinski was fired as head coach at Boston College because he interviewed with the New York Jets for there head coaching position. He was lucky enough to land on his feet in Tampa but is now unemployed. Would not be surprised if Jagodzinski is leading a college football program by next season, in two years with BC he had a record of 20 – 8.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP)—The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fired offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski and replaced him with quarterbacks coach Greg Olson.
The surprise move Thursday comes on the eve of the Bucs’ preseason finale against the Houston Texans and 10 days before the regular season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
Jagodzinski was hired in January, three weeks after being dismissed by Boston College for pursuing an NFL head coaching job.
Jagodzinski led Boston College to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game in each of his two seasons. He was fired after being told he would be let go if he interviewed for the New York Jets’ coaching vacancy. He interviewed despite the ultimatum and was fired the next day. The Jets job eventually went to Rex Ryan.
