After being fired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as their offensive coordinator, former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Byron Leftwich has not been an NFL coach for two years, but he is hoping to find another one soon.
Leftwich expressed his desire to return to the NFL in an interview with the Athletic, saying that although he does not have many opportunities, he would like working as a staff member.
“I understand the process and I understand that the entire world is trying to get in that league,” said Leftwich, “but I didn’t have the opportunities right after and this last year that I thought I would have.” I should not be given anything. I owe no one anything. I will thus continue to work and try to have a chance to coach in that league once more.
After training under Bruce Arianas, Leftwich joined him in Arizona before joining the Buccaneers when he boarded a ship in Florida. Leftwich was a strong candidate for a head coaching position following the 2021 campaign, but he failed miserably in 2022.
Leftwich hasn’t even been hired as a position coach since the Buccaneers moved on. He spent over ten years as a quarterback in the NFL, including with the Steelers. His transition into coaching was facilitated by his veteran expertise.
