Todd Bowles survived a disappointing 2025 season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but another year outside the playoffs could put his future with the organization in question.Bleacher Report's Brent Sobleski ranked Bowles third among five NFL head coaches facing pressure entering the 2026 season. His argument centers on a Bucs team that has experienced plenty of success under Bowles without making much noise in the postseason.Tampa Bay is 35-33 over Bowles' four seasons as head coach and won the NFC South in each of his first three years before finishing 8-9 last season. The Bucs still had an opportunity to reach the postseason in Week 18, but Carolina ultimately won the division through a three-way tiebreaker despite Tampa Bay beating the Panthers.Ownership decided to bring Bowles back, with Joel Glazer pointing toward the significant injuries Tampa Bay dealt with throughout 2025. Sobleski acknowledged those injuries but questioned whether they fully explain what went wrong, especially given the Bucs' finish below .500 in what he described as the league's weakest division.The pressure hasn't exactly decreased this offseason. Mike Evans departed in free agency, Lavonte David retired, and Jamel Dean is no longer part of the secondary. Tampa Bay has also dealt with Baker Mayfield's unresolved contract situation and Vita Vea's trade request after failed extension talks."Considering the circumstances, it is difficult to say with confidence that the Bucs are better today than they were last season," Sobleski wrote.None of that guarantees Bowles is entering his final season in Tampa Bay. However, Sobleski believes another disappointing campaign could put his job in jeopardy, making 2026 an important year for both Bowles and the direction of the franchise.This article originally appeared on Bucs Wire: Analyst suggests that Bucs HC is on the hot seat in 2026
