Zac Robinson Coaching History: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are close to completing a deal to appoint Zac Robinson as the franchise’s next offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN on Thursday.
Robinson most recently held the same role with the Atlanta Falcons.
His departure followed Atlanta’s decision to part ways with head coach Raheem Morris.
Robinson and Morris were aligned for two seasons during their tenure with the Falcons.
Atlanta finished each of those seasons with a matching 8–9 record.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers parted ways with offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard earlier this month as head coach Todd Bowles moved forward with a wide-ranging staff overhaul.
Grizzard spent one season directing the offense.
Tampa Bay struggled to maintain its previous production during the 2025 season.
The Buccaneers slipped to 21st in the league in total offense after finishing third the year before.
Scoring also declined, falling from an average of 28.6 points per game in 2024 to 21.4 points per game in 2025.
Zac Robinson is poised to take over as Tampa Bay’s offensive coordinator, continuing a recent pattern of frequent changes at the position.
If finalized, Robinson would become the Buccaneers’ fifth offensive coordinator over the past five seasons.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield would also be working under his fourth offensive coordinator in four years.
Byron Leftwich was let go after the 2022 campaign.
Dave Canales stepped in for the 2023 season and helped spark a turnaround in Mayfield’s play before moving on to become head coach of the Carolina Panthers.
Mayfield followed that with the most productive season of his career in 2024 under Liam Coen.
Coen later departed Tampa Bay to accept the head coaching job with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Atlanta Falcons faced an uneven offensive year in 2025 while attempting to reshape the roster around a new quarterback.
The team ranked 14th leaguewide in total offense but struggled to convert yardage into points, finishing 24th in scoring.
Atlanta entered the season preparing Michael Penix Jr. to take over as the franchise quarterback.
Those plans were derailed in November when Penix sustained an ACL tear that required surgical repair.
Kirk Cousins took over under center and guided the Falcons through the remainder of the season.
Zac Robinson launched his NFL coaching career with the Los Angeles Rams before moving on to Atlanta.
He entered the league as a Rams assistant and progressed through the staff over several seasons.
Robinson earned increased responsibility and was named passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2022 and 2023.
During the 2022 campaign, he worked directly with Baker Mayfield for a four-game span.
