Buccaneers Offensive Coordinator Mike Henderson Resigns to Become Jacksonville Jaguars Head Coach
January 24, 2025 | Tampa, FL – In a significant move within the NFL, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have announced that their Offensive Coordinator, Mike Henderson, will be stepping down to take on the role of Head Coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Henderson, who has been with the Buccaneers for the past three seasons, has been instrumental in developing the team’s high-powered offense. Under his guidance, the Buccaneers saw a notable improvement in their offensive rankings, making a strong push in the playoffs last season.
“Mike has been a pivotal part of our coaching staff,” said Buccaneers Head Coach Tom Sanders. “His leadership and innovative strategies have greatly contributed to our success. While we’re sad to see him go, we fully support his decision and wish him the best in his new role.”
The Jacksonville Jaguars, looking to revitalize their franchise, have been searching for a head coach who can bring both experience and a fresh perspective. Henderson’s track record made him an attractive candidate for the position, and his hiring is expected to energize the team and its fanbase.
Jaguars’ General Manager Lisa Thompson expressed enthusiasm about the appointment. “Mike Henderson is exactly the kind of leader we need to take our team to the next level. His offensive acumen and ability to develop players align perfectly with our vision for the future.”
Henderson shared his excitement about the new opportunity. “I’m thrilled to join the Jacksonville Jaguars and lead this talented group of players. It’s an honor to take on the role of Head Coach, and I’m eager to build a competitive and resilient team.”
The Buccaneers will begin the search for a new Offensive Coordinator shortly. In the meantime, Head Assistant Coach Jake Morales will oversee the offensive strategies to ensure a smooth transition.
Fans of both teams are buzzing with anticipation about what this change means for the upcoming NFL season. While Henderson’s departure marks the end of a successful chapter for the Buccaneers, his new role with the Jaguars promises exciting developments for both franchises.
