After only one season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have decided to let go of quarterbacks coach and last season’s interim offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo. From 2011-2012, Arroyo served as the University of California’s QB coach where he worked under then-head coach Jeff Tedford.

When Tedford was brought on to be the Bucs’ offensive coordinator, he snagged the 34-year-old to serve as the team’s quarterbacks coach. Following some unfortunate health issues, Tedford needed to take a leave of absence and Arroyo was forced to assume the role of interim offensive coordinator. Throughout the season, his inexperience showed as the Bucs finished 30th in the league in total offense. In early December, Tedford was released by the Buccaneers.

Last week, the Buccaneers made Dirk Koetter their new offensive coordinator and it appeared as though Arroyo’s days with the team could be numbered as the former Atlanta Falcons O.C. looked to fill out his staff to his liking. Today, the franchise parted ways with Arroyo.

Here is Arroyo’s statement regarding the firing, courtesy of Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times:

Statement from Arroyo: "I just want to thank Lovie Smith, Jason Licht, the Glazer family and the entire Buccaneer organization… — Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) January 16, 2015

Arroyo: I appreciated the opportunity to come in as a QB coach and I accepted the additional work and responsibilities for game — Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) January 16, 2015

Arroyo: "…planning placed upon me unexpectedly after Jeff's illness. Despite these difficult circumstances, I enjoyed my time here…'' — Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) January 16, 2015

Arroyo: "…very much. I am certainly looking forward to continuing my coaching career in the NFL and this experience will prove invaluable. — Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) January 16, 2015

While there is no denying that Arroyo looked overmatched in his lone year with the Buccaneers, it was a season that saw him wearing more hats than he ever expected in a mere matter of months after accepting the job. It’s unfortunate. Maybe one day, Arroyo will be able to successfully take on the role of an NFL offensive coordinator, but last season was just too soon.
