Baker Mayfield’s wife wants a new coach in Tampa Bay.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers couldn’t keep up their hot start to the season. Baker Mayfield regressed, the stars got hurt, and Todd Bowles’ questionable decision-making ultimately led to the team’s downfall.

That’s why there are some serious rumblings about his future with the team. And, as crazy as it may seem, even some inside the building might want him gone.

That’s pretty much the case with Baker Mayfield’s wife, Emily. Per Bucs insider Matthew Hewitt on X, Emily liked an Instagram post about John Harbaugh’s potential availability.

The post read that multiple teams reached out to the former Baltimore Ravens head coach within 45 minutes of being fired. Perhaps, she wants the Bucs to be one of those teams.

When asked about his future with the organization, Coach Bowles claimed that he had earned the benefit of the doubt:

“All I can do is coach and be myself. I’ve earned the chance – I’ve won three straight division titles, so that says a lot as far as I’m concerned. I don’t really have a message for fans other than true fans are true fans and we’re going to try to do our best to go out there and win for them. They’re going to feel how they feel, but that’s not a coach’s problem. The coach’s problem is to make the team better and that’s all I’m looking forward to,” Bowles said, via NFL. “I understand their frustrations, I understand our own frustrations, as well. It’s well-warranted and it’s well-warranted within the building, as well.” Per NFL.com

He has a valid point, but it’s also worth noting that the NFC South was one of the weakest divisions in the league for several years. This year, a nervous Baker Mayfield had to root for the New Orleans Saints to do their dirty job, but to no avail.

Also, we can’t ignore the fact that John Harbaugh seems to be a fan of Mayfield. According to ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, Mayfield was one of the Ravens’ potential options to be Lamar Jackson’s backup in 2023:

“The Ravens, who face uncertainty around Lamar Jackson’s future, have been involved in the free agent quarterback market, looking into options such as Baker Mayfield and Jacoby Brissett, per league sources. Baltimore appears to be looking for flexibility,” Fowler reported back then.

The Buccaneers have more than enough talent on both sides of the field. While they’re not the strongest team in the NFC by any means, landing a proven winner like John Harbaugh could be a step in the right direction.

It’s unclear if the Bucs want to fire Bowles. But even if that wasn’t the plan at first, Harbaugh’s firing might change their approach to the offseason.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
