Josh Grizzard enters his first season with the Buccaneers in 2024 as pass game coordinator.
Grizzard brought 12 years of coaching experience to Tampa Bay, including seven years at the professional level – all with the Miami Dolphins. During his time with the Dolphins, Grizzard served as a quality control coach (2017-19, 2022-23) and wide receivers coach (2020-21). He was a part of four consecutive winning seasons with the Dolphins – accomplishing the feat for the first time since the club did so in seven straight seasons from 1997-2003.
Grizzard contributed to an offense that finished the 2023 season ranked first in yards per game (401.3), passing yards per game (265.5), and yards per carry (5.1), while ranking second in yards per play (6.5), net yards per pass attempt (8.0), and points scored per game (29.2). During his time as Miami's wide receivers coach, Grizzard worked closely with Jaylen Waddle, who established the NFL's then-rookie-reception record in 2021 with 104 receptions for a club-rookie-record 1,015 receiving yards.
Prior to his time with the Dolphins, Grizzard worked as a graduate assistant/quality control coach for Duke University (2013-16) where he coached current New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones. Grizzard helped the Blue Devils to their best three-year stretch (2013-15) in school history, earning 27 wins an ACC Coastal division title and three consecutive bowl appearances.
Grizzard played football collegiately at Yale (2008-11), playing defensive back, before shifting into a student coaching assistant role in 2012. He is a native of Zebulon, North Carolina.
