That press conference was exactly what I needed to hear

with the exception of the free agency comments. We’ll find out soon enough on those, but I am not expecting big moves. Maybe, maybe, one splash signing.

It's a press conference with a ton of coach speak.

Best coach speak I heard

From any coach associated with the Bucs in a few years. Let’s hope those words manifest into some much needed action.

At least he doesn't speak like he has had WAY too much caffeine...

I am usually critical and suspicious of everything Dom/The Glazers do, but will reserve my judgement until camp starts in July. Their F/A signings and Draft selections will tell me what I want to know.

I hope hes a man of character and can back up everything he said. Not giving the benefit of the doubt to any more experiments.

The fact he stayed at Rutgers

for 11 years and just the way he speaks you can tell the guy is genuine. I think he is honest and believes in doing the things the right way, if it works at the next level is to be seen. I have bought in to this hire, just hope he can get coaches to buy in to his ideas.

OK... now that we're all drinking from the Schiano fountain

let’s see if Dom botches this up by not giving him the new players that he needs. It’s good to see Schiano has the final say on the assistant hires, but input on the draft AND F/A acquisitions will be just as important.

Gotta open up that sizable wallet Glazers, or it will just be the same old same old.

I must admit I have a good gut feeling about this one.

Unlike the Raheem Morris hire. The Glazers did their due diligence and may have nailed it with this hire. Shiano obviously wasn’t their first choice but I believe things happen for a reason. Let’s just hope Shiano is in fact our guy and is here for a long time; I love his vision for this franchise and think he can come in here and get things turned around; and the sooner the better. I loved everything he said about “TBA”; these things have been absent in Tampa for a while now. I’m behind “Coach G” 100%; now get out there and get us a coaching staff. Go Bucs!

It looks like in the one link here that MD pretty much said they plan on spending in FA. That would be nice.

This quote has me sold.....for now

from George Johnson on the Buc Practice squad (a former Rutger Player) He’s very detailed with everything he does," Johnson said. "Handing the ball to the official is just one thing that he prides himself on. If you get in the end zone and score, give the ball to the official and act like you’ve been there before. That’s one thing that he does. He’s so detail-oriented.
