1991 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season

NFL team season August 2023 March 2026 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1991 3–13 5th NFC Central Richard Williamson Phil Krueger Hugh Culverhouse LB Broderick Thomas Tampa Stadium Did not qualify Buccaneers seasons The 1991 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season was the franchise's 16th season in the National Football League. In Richard Williamson's only full season as coach, the Buccaneers started by losing their first five games, on the way to another last place 3–13 season. Among the major disappointments was quarterback Vinny Testaverde, who was replaced by Chris Chandler at quarterback early in the season, who passed for 1,994 yards and eight touchdown passes to 15 interceptions. Following the season Williamson was fired and replaced by Sam Wyche. Tax records would later show that the Buccaneers were one of the most profitable teams during this time, even though owner Hugh Culverhouse announced the Bucs were losing money and needed to play games in Orlando, Florida to get income. Such records revealed Culverhouse ran the Bucs as a profit first business, often releasing better players who would deserve big contracts, the most notable being quarterback Doug Williams in the early 1980s.
