Zac Robinson's hire as Tampa Bay offensive coordinator signals a possible offensive rebound; his Falcons units showed strong yardage in 2024. Punters might favor higher team totals, passing and receiving player props, and consider modestly upping Bucs win-total futures if Robinson stabilizes the QB room and restores efficiency.
Buccaneers hire Zac Robinson as offensive coordinator
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have hired Zac Robinson as their new offensive coordinator. Robinson arrives with recent NFL play-calling experience and a background working with several starting quarterbacks, tasked with reversing a sharp offensive decline.
Robinson's coaching résumé and quarterback work
Robinson spent the past two seasons as Atlanta’s offensive coordinator after two seasons as pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach with the Los Angeles Rams. During his time in Los Angeles he worked with Baker Mayfield, and in Atlanta he coached Michael Penix Jr. and veteran Kirk Cousins at quarterback.
Why Tampa Bay made the move
Robinson becomes the Bucs' fifth offensive coordinator in five years as Tampa Bay searches for continuity and better production. The team promoted and replaced coordinators frequently following the 2022 season, a churn that coincided with uneven offensive play and roster shifts.
Offensive slide that needs fixing
Tampa Bay’s offense plunged from third in total yards in 2024 to 21st in 2025. The unit moved from being top five in rushing, passing and scoring in 2024 to 21st in rushing, 20th in passing and 18th in scoring in 2025. Interim and short-tenure coordinators struggled to replicate earlier success, and a 2025 campaign that ended 8-9 led to another change.
Robinson's track record and immediate priorities
Robinson’s Falcons offenses ranked sixth in yards in 2024 before slipping to 14th the following season; his units were 13th in points in 2024 and dropped to 24th in a later year. His immediate priorities in Tampa Bay will be stabilizing quarterback play, restoring efficiency in both run and pass coordination, and improving scoring on early downs and in the red zone.
Outlook
Expect Robinson to implement clearer play-calling structure and emphasize balance to rebuild confidence in the offense. The success of that transition will be pivotal for the Bucs’ short-term win prospects and long-term offensive identity.
