Bucs introduce new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson
TAMPA, Fla. - After coaching against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the last two seasons, Zac Robinson will now trade the visitors' sideline for the home team's sideline.
"Those weeks were so challenging coaching against Coach [Todd] Bowles," Robinson said. "Those were great battles, and I'm definitely excited to be on this side of it and not having to face Coach Bowles' defense."
Officially introduced as the Bucs' new offensive coordinator on Tuesday, Robinson had success against the Bucs over the last two seasons as the OC in Atlanta. Now, he looks to bring that same level of success to Tampa Bay with an offense he describes as versatile.
"That's probably the biggest thing that stands out," Robinson said. "It's an explosive group that can make plays. They've played a lot of good football together, and they've been in tough games."

By the numbers:
In his four games coaching against the Buccaneers, Robinson's offense averaged nearly 30 points per game. It's now Robinson's goal to bring that level of explosiveness back to the Buccaneers' offense in 2026.
"We want to dictate the terms to the defense," Robinson says. "We want to have an aggressive style of play. You'll see that from our guys and all 11 connected as one. That's what we're striving for."
The backstory:
Robinson also comes to the Bucs with some familiarity with the offense. Robinson worked with former Buccaneers OC Liam Coen and quarterback Baker Mayfield while all three were with the Los Angeles Rams.
Now, Robinson is excited about working with his former QB once again.
"You know you have a chance every single time you take the grass with Baker, and I'm excited to work with him," he said.
