'Buzz' around Senior Bowl: Rob Chudzinski to get a second interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

PrintAccording to the Charlotte Observer the 'buzz' around the Senior Bowl is that Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski will get a second interview with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So far the Bucs have only brought back former Packers head coach Mike Sherman for a second interview, which will occur today according to Adam Schefter. The Bucs are expected to choose a head coach after this second round of interviews, but they could always pull a surprise move as they tried to do with Chip Kelly a few days ago.
Of those who have interviewed with the Bucs, Chudzinski is by far my favorite coach. He's a young, innovative offensive mind who has had massive success everywhere he's coached. What he did with Cam Newton last season was very impressive, but it wasn't his only successful year as he managed to get Derek Anderson to the Pro Bowl in Cleveland. The question is whether he can parlay that into a successful career as a head coach, and whether he's ready to take on that role at this point.
Keep in mind that this isn't definitive. The report is based on 'buzz' around the Senior Bowl. According to Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune the interview has not been arranged, but it could be shortly. It would shock me if Mike Sherman was the only coach to be asked back for a second interview, however.

chuckle, was my first reaction as well ..NEITHER
I just finished Kieth Millards piece on the D line ( over at JBucs) and it is inspiring. Zimmer is who we need along with a talented OC..
I voted Sherman - not because he is better
but I believe his networking through out his NFL years could bring in a far better coaching staff. As individuals, I would probably prefer Chudzinski to Sherman.
Can we use a different picture, he looks like a clarinet player in a HS band

If he coaches here, he is gonna need major SPF, like 85 or 90

I would still like to have Schottenheimer over either one of them...
and since Sherman would still be unemployed, he might want the OC position. That makes him already strategically placed to take over when Marty is done.

I've advocated Chud from the beginning
I don’t know why you all have such a problem with Chud. Most of you are star-struck with Marty or stubborn with Zimmer.
C’mon people! Chud is relatively young, but not as inexperienced/young as Raheem was. Chud has also been succesful EVERYWHERE he’s gone.
I truly believe he’s the answer.

It's not up to the coaches
To see how good a qb will bed. Yea they play a big part, but eli has not been around great offensive minds but look how hes developed

With the success of eli
by keysersoze19 on Jan 25, 2012 11:46 AM EST via Android app up reply actions
That's an interesting perspective, based on what exactly?
I love Gilbride’s schemes. He creates big plays to no-name players on a regular basis. He’s very good. I think you’re full of it when you say he’s irrelevant to Eli.
He would not be in the league without eli
Would his offense be the same if alex smith were his qb or jay cutler I don’t think so.

The guy has been coaching in the NFL since 1989, and you say he wouldn't be in the league without Eli?
Are you insane?
Times change bro
Mike martz runs that same offense but it’s not as effective sad it use to be
by keysersoze19 on Jan 25, 2012 11:54 AM EST via Android app up reply actions
Martz runs an Air Coryell-adapted system
Gilbride runs a run-and-shoot-adapted system. It’s completely different.
Troy Aikmen and kurt warner
Said martz runs more of a run and shoot offense, that offense you named has never been mentioned in the history of offense naming, and no crackerball I’ve never met that guy

Buddy Ryan punched Gilbride in the face on MNF.
They were both coordinators for the Oilers, yes Oilers, and they were pretty damn good.

"I feel like I'm the best, but you're not going to get me to say that." - Jerry Rice
There is a new league
Through that era defensiveness were built to stop that style of offense and now todays offensives are built to attack the style of defense that was produced.
I listen to espn new york all the time, no one thinks of that guy as a big name, if his offense was that effective he would of been mentioned as a possible head coach, how many jobs had he been linked too. Eli makes him relevant and he makes everything kevin wants to do relevant. Why do I think eli makes all this possible, well thats a conversation I can only explain verbally, but its ultimately the reason I think ELI is the best in the league
My point is this. Qbs like Brees, Brady, Rodgers, are good players but those guys games are elevated cause of the great skill players and coaching minds they have around them. Not every QB has luxury but they still got to rise to the occasion like ELI. Freeman is in a similar situation, although by drafting richardson I think that will go along way to getting him out of that situation
by keysersoze19 on Jan 25, 2012 4:01 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
The subject came up
Because I mentioned that the development of a qb should not come down to, having good coaches. Yea that’s a luxury, but it is all up to the player and I used eli as a example

I'm not saying that
Not every qb has that luxury and ultimately it is going to come down to free being great on his own, no matter who we bring in

Scary
The guy in that pic could be the next leader of the Bucs!! Based on that picture, would you take him seriously if he was disciplining you?!! In all seriousness, I like his background better than Sherm although I have doubts about his leadership capabilities not having experience as a HC. Please not Sherman. I don’t feel any excitement about him and his history does not tell me he is a SOLID winner. Sander, you said it yourself, winning sells tickets. Of our options, who has shown they have the ability to consistently win games? We all know the answer!!

Was a joke
I was kind of kidding about the looks thing, but you have to admit he does not look intimidating at all. 6 pack doesn’t matter, but in real life non verbals do matter (ie looks and demeanor). If you ever played sports, the coaches that gave you the snarl, got the most out of their players. Huge generalization,
But sone validity. And if you read the rest of my post you saw the substance as to why I don’t think he should be HC. No Head coaching experience (ie not proven)

What World
Do you live in ? Oh ,, the perfect one…. sorry the one I live in has imposing men getting respect solely based on their looks. On the street and in just about every other aspect of life. Would you respect a Lawyer with jeans or a tee on ? Would you walk up to a big tough sob in a bar and mouth off ? I hear what you’re saying but it’s not reality..With the issues we had last year we need someone who will walk in and get respect right out of the box. Just sayin!
Sorry BDJ, but that's a dumb argument...
In the NFL, Winning alone gets respect and nothing else… Belichick looks like a total bum in my opinion and yet he commands respect because of what he’s done with the Patriots.
Still waiting for the day that the NFL comes back to LA...
dude, or dudette
Dumb? You offer the Pats coach as a counter point. really ?
I agree if HE walked in 1 Buc place .
However HE is not. A very diminutive pale man as stated by many here in different shape size or form.And he DOES NOT have a similar pedigree does he ? We were not talking about Bill were we ? We are NOT able to get a Belichick equivalent so whomever comes in , it will not hurt if a bunch of young physically imposing young men are a bit intimidated.Either by physical or by sheer strength of character. You may sneer at basic Human nature but you will NEVER be able to change it. Dumb or not…
what did belicheck have as a degree when he won in new england after being a bum in cleveland

I like the idea of Chud coaching the team
Specifically, his background with tightends. If he could find a way to get more use out of Kellen and Luke, that’d be a big boost for Freeman I bet.
by number40ismyhero on Jan 25, 2012 10:47 AM EST reply actions
Top choice for me
I’m not a fan of retreaded coaches and he seems more qualified to be a HC than Rah did when we 1st hired him. If he can get Cam as a rookie to look like a pro throwing the football, than surely he can get Freeman back on track.
especially because they both have similar skill sets
Strong armed, mobile, around 6’6" 250. And Freeman has shown he can play well, so perhaps he just needs the proper coaching to get back to form. Definitely not ready to call it quits on Free yet.
by number40ismyhero on Jan 25, 2012 10:53 AM EST up reply actions
Freeman isn't as mobile
the rest fits though.
Note: Everyone was more qualified than Rah was.
He had shown absolutely nothing and I cannot understand all of the fuss around him. Wasn’t able to coach up ANY of his “late round DB gems” and now were stuck with Biggers and Myron Lewis as our CBs.
Double Ugh.
by Cracker Ball on Jan 25, 2012 10:54 AM EST up reply actions
You really hate Rah don't you lol
Give him a little credit for the 2010 season considering he was set up to fail from the get go. Biggers is a decent nickleback who has gotten exposed covering number 1 receivers, Lewis is just a bust being drafted by Dominik.

Also, Dom got rid of Ruud when Rah wanted to keep him.
Foster over Ruud impacted our defense more than expected.

Foster was not going to do what ruud could right away. That’s my thing with the whole rah firing, why not let the players he wants in his system to develop, esp being that you don’t want to bring in no free agents

I agree to a point. It should have been Foster AND Ruud this past season. The 2012 year should’ve been Ruud’s last year as a Buc.
That is why you don't cut somebody loose...

I'm torn.
I think we need someone with head coaching experience, but everything I’ve read about Sherman makes me think he’s a little too conservative. And while Chud seems exciting, and I know Chud helped Anderson make the pro bowl, I still can’t help but feel that last year could be more Cam than Chud.
Of the two, I guess I’ll have to lean toward Chud.
They both have strong points
Sherman is more run oriented and has a lot of connections. Chud likes to pass and is a good playcaller.

Not really
Todd Bowles and Jack Del Rio are the only guys really out there right now, but it’ll be easier to say after the Bucs hire a head coach.
I love the idea of getting Fewell and Jackson
Both of them have more NFL exprience then all of the last coaching staff combined and both have had recent high points in the NFL. I still feel really bad for Jackson if Jason Campbell never got hurt and Davis’a son didn’t have to make that awful tade for Palmer Hue Jackson would probably have made the playoff’s and still be the Raiders head coach

I think I speak for most Panther fans when I say
BACK OFF! :(
Was that necessary?
I’m extremely interested in which coach your team hires given that you’re a divison rival, that it could be a double whammy in effecting my team, and that I know how good of a coach Chud has been. Its my primary focus outside of the playoffs right now and looking for news at the root is common sense. If anything, my concern should ease some of your fears, which is how I meant it to come across.
It was uncalled for, but feel free to stay as long as you want.
Besides, I’m not sold on Chud, and it would be nice to hear from somebody who knows him better than what us Bucs fans can just read about him.
"Put a jersey on!!!" Warren Sapp
Chud had pretty much full control of our offense (Rivera took a hands-off approach) and is now responsible for the biggest offensive turnaround in NFL history. The players respect him, and while he doesn’t look like HC material at first glance, he seems to have a presence about him that makes people respect his insight. Some players have even openly stated they hope he stays.
Most of all, the guy gave us a look into something we seldom saw in Carolina: A coach that fits the scheme to their players, not their players to the scheme. Customized packages were installed for the personnel available and I credit a portion of Cam’s success to that creativity. Of course, coordinator is completely different than a HC, but I think the guy gets the big picture. He might not be the best fit given the need of seniority to reel in the disclipline down there, but I suspect we will not be able to hold on to him for more than three years. He’s one of those guys you just know will eventually be a HC.
Thanks for the perspective
Looking at the guy I instantly said no, but sounds like he may have potential. The big thing with me is who he could get as a staff. Thats why I think Sherm would be the right choice, but if we are going to gamble now is the time to do it.
That's a very good point that I hadn't thought about
You’re right that his connections may be limited in that aspect. I think his only significant positions involve time at the U, Cleveland, and San Diego, with none of the defensive connections sticking out. The reason our coaching change worked well is Rivera was able to poach SD’s offensive coaching staff while using his old Bears & Eagles connections to fill out the defense. I don’t think Chud would be able to empty our offensive staff, as we’d probably bumb up Shula to OC or something. It also might be a bad idea considering the number of newer coaches on our offensive staff.
Unnecessary, BucsUp
The guy wasn’t trolling, and he was discussing the Bucs- he has every right to be here.

why do i have the dreaded feeling when i get home later and put on espn that
they will be reporting sherman as hc in tampa
I still think
that there is one coach that no one knows about that will end up being on the really short list. I just feel it. I wish i also felt the feeling of having a winning team who goes to the playoffs on a regular basis too.
theres an article in the tb times that says sherman is in a secret location
meeting with the glazers today, and he is the only candidate getting a 2nd interview, so thats it in my opinon, no martyball, no chud no zimmer, just spermin sherman yippee if were lucky we’ll be a 500 ball club for the next 3 years till he get fired for the 3rd time
with the (lack of) talent on this team
and also how the rest of the NFC south has their sh*t together….500 ball could be stretch.
If I were any of these coaches that was surpassed for Chip Kellyq
and then called in for another interview and they picked, me, I’d demand $6 million a year.

sad that we are going through all this drama over coaches.. uggggghhhhh
