Buccaneers interviewed Lions assistant special teams coach Jett Modkins for their special teams coordinator vacancy.

12 January 2026

It’s the second interview for Jett Modkins in the coveted special teams coordinator cycle. We have blurbed both of them because it’s very pleasing to type Jett Modkins. Try it. The Buccaneers fired Thomas McGaughey after a season that concluded with them kicking the ball into the end zone because they were scared of returns (Todd Bowles’ actual words) and are likely hoping that Jett Modkins has answers for that.
