Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles commented on Cincinnati Bengals quarterbacks coach Dan Pitcher at the NFL meetings.
Here’s what Bowles had to say about Pitcher:
“I saw him a year ago when we played them. He does such a great job developing Joe Burrow, he does a great job schematically helping out,” Bowles said. “(After) I interviewed him, I think he’s going to be a heck of a coach in this league and he brings something to the table from an ingenuity standpoint about running an offense that you normally don’t get in this league and I have a lot of respect for him.”
Pitcher seems to deserve the praise with how well Burrow has adjusted to the NFL, already widely considered as one of the top QBs in the NFL.
Over the offseason, Pitcher interviewed with Bowles for the Bucs offensive coordinator job, but decided to stay in Cincinnati despite how impressed the Tampa Bay coach was with him.
He has said that he is coming back because he feels a lot of loyalty toward Zac Taylor and the Bengals, and he wants to finish his time here with a championship.
