The Tampa Bay Buccaneers keep adding to their coaching staff.
Last week, the Buccaneers hired Dave Canales as their offensive coordinator and Brad Idzik to be the new wide receivers coach after both spent the 2022 season with the Seattle Seahawks. On Tuesday, they brought Skip Peete on board to be their running backs coach and George Edwards to handle outside linebacker duties after their contracts expired with the Dallas Cowboys.
Peete has been a running backs coach in the NFL since 1998 when started the then-Oakland Raiders where he coached for nine seasons. He spent the next six years with the Cowboys and then two seasons with the Chicago Bears and four with the Los Angeles Rams before his last stint in Dallas which started in 2020.
Over the past six seasons, Peete has had four of his teams finish in the top 10 in rushing including his last two years with the Cowboys.
Edwards is reuniting with Bowles for the third time. They were both on the Cleveland Browns coaching staff in 2004 and they spent two seasons together with the Miami Dolphins in 2008 and 2009.
Edwards also started in the NFL in 1998 with the Cowboys as their linebackers coach. His claim to fame in the league was from 2014 to 2019 when he was the defensive coordinator for the Minnesota Vikings.
