Brad Childress Will Be Interviewed On Monday by Bucs, Wade Phillips and Marty Schottenheimer candidates too

PrintESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will interview Brad Childress on Monday, presumably as a head coaching candidate. Childress was the Minnesota Vikings' head coach from 2006 to 2010 and has a coaching record of 39-35. He reached the NFC Championship in 2009 with Brett Favre as his quarterback, but the Vikings collapsed the following season and he was fired after 10 games with a 3-7 record that year.
Childress did have more success as the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive coordinator from 2003 to 2005, helping the Eagles reach the NFC Championship three consecutive times and making it to the Super Bowl in 2004. There's also the possibility are interviewing him as a possible offensive coordinator for whichever head coach they hire.
In addition, Mortensen reports that the Bucs are looking at Houston defensive coordinator Wade Phillips and experienced head coach Marty Schottenheimer, in addition to Bengals DC Mike Zimmer and the already interviewed Mike Sherman and Titans DC Jerry Gray. All of these coaches shine through experience, with only Mike Zimmer and Jerry Gray having never been a head coach before.
I will have some coaching profiles up on all of these candidates tomorrow.

Definatley not Childress
And Phillips is not a HC he is a great DC but I do not want him as our head coach

He blew the NFC championship game too.
I hope the Glazers look in a different direction.
I have been saying it all along.Marty Schottenheimer.
Wouldn’t mind Zimmer either.I think both canidates would bring discipline and direction to Tampa where it is complete chaos.
10 yrs ago I would say go for Marty Ball.
I’m not thrilled with 60 something yr old coaches coming here to coach a young team. We need another young energetic coach like Rah was just more mature and has more of a body of work. Marty has also been away from the game foe a lil while.
NFL.com saying that Chilly might be interviewing for OC

Yeah, LaCanfora said that
I could work with that. Created some good offenses when he had a decent QB.

Not as a HC.

I'm not denying he isn't. But the only reason he would be mentioned here would be as a HC, not a lateral move.

The Cowboys are a vanity team though.
Tampa has always been a different atmosphere. I don’t seem him as a great fit for us though.
And Chilly is miles better than Olson.

Maybe Schotty but a big fat no to Childress
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.
Hey I would take Chilly before Pee-wee Herman Sherman.
Would love Marty or Zimmer though.Chilly as OC would be good too.
How about schott as HC
With chilly and Phillips as coordinators. YES!!!! I would live that scenario….

Marty as H/C,Chilly as OC,D/C?
Wade wouldn’t leave Houston to be a head coach in Tampa.I saw his remarks on STPETETIMES.COM.I wouldn’t want him in Tampa anyways.Can you say 3-4,I can.
Texans were 4-3 last season, and he turned them into a top notch 3-4 D.

READ HIS POST.IT'S NOT HAPPENNING ANYWAYS.
4 FORMER NFL COACHES ON BUCS RADAR.
This team needs a lot of help to turn into a 3-4 D

idk
Clayborn and McCoy at ends, price at nose, Bowers and watson on the edge, and foster and a 2nd round pick this year In the middle may could work.

A Phillips 3-4 is very similar to a 4-3
See: http://www.bucsnation.com/2011/2/19/1996704/could-the-bucs-move-to-a-3-4
It’s not a traditional 3-4. It’s essentially just a 4-3 Under with one DE having his hand off the ground.
Not happenning anyways.
Did anyone read the post?
Which one?
Because I’m not seeing any Rick Stroud post with Philllips saying he doesn’t want to be a head coach.
He will not leave Houston(this is the line below that.)
"If you want a winner, if you want experience, you know, I’d like to talk about it. But this is the best job I’ve had. I’m not looking to go anywhere.’’
Do you think he would walk?
Do you honestly think that Houston would let him walk.
Can Bowers/Bennett play that way?

I could see Phillips as HC.
He had to deal with Romo, TO, Jerry Jones, Jason Garrett waiting in the wings. Toxic situation. Tampa much less dramatic than Dallas. Hire Chilly as OC. Big upgrades.
by flash_kiley on Jan 8, 2012 1:33 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
absolutely!
that would be the best coaching staff this team ever had, prob the best in the league.
Please please please, Glazers...
Chris Peterson from Boise State. Guys won more than anybody, with less talent. His teams have always been known for solid defense and innovative offense AND high character. No retreads please!
I like phillips just because id want him to call the defense. And id like childress as o/c too.

If people thought Morris got walked over, wait until the players got a hold of Wade.

Worst running attack in the NFL right? Why does it seem the Giants are trying to run it every play?

I think Marty would be a pretty good fit.
I keep waiting for us to solidify as an organization. We can look at a glamor pick down the line. for now we need to have some sustained improvement.
I have been saying Marty before his name even got thrown in the mix.
I think he would be the perfect canidate.
If we're settling with Marty, I think we should draft TRich.

Marty probably would command the most respect...
But nowadays it’s all about offense, and Bucball just won’t win enough…
Well you need a good Coordinator for offense.
Obviously Marty’s not the most aggresive coach, but he has still lead very productive offenses. He’s also had good success with teams with limited talent (Redskins). The more I think about it the more I think we need to grab a free agent linebacker or two rather than focusing on the draft for LB starters. Look how fast John Fox turned around The Broncos D. I think a Marty type solid D with a run game would be the best thing for Freeman. That’s more like what he excelled with last year. Play solid and let Freeman try to make some plays.
What a putrid list of garbage, when I read that headline this morning I almost puked

I puked for much different reasons than reading that headline this morning.

I still think Phillips could work.
In no way am I comparing him to Belichek, just clarifying that. Belichek failed with the Browns, prospered with the Patriots. Just because I guy fails once, doesn’t make him a failure.
by flash_kiley on Jan 8, 2012 1:41 PM EST via Android app reply actions
He had three head coaching jobs?
by flash_kiley on Jan 8, 2012 1:45 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
Five including interim jobs
Two years with Denver from ‘93-’94, three with Buffalo ‘98-’00, and then Dallas ‘07-’10
Plus interim jobs with New Orleans (‘85) and Atlanta (’03)
Dang I didn't realize that!
Thanks for the info. I retract my previous statement. :)

Geez no retread coaches please Glazers.
Just because you failed with Rah it don’t mean going after young unproven guys don’t work just do better homework. Wade couldn’t get the Cowboys over the hump and wound up loosing the team. Just what this team needs another guy who will let them do what the hell they want like Rah did.
Hey Sander?
what is up with the O coordinator for the Giants, the Giants have had an above average effective offense for a long time.
Any word on his credentials and availability?
Josh Freeman will be better than Matt Ryan, Cam Newton cant compete with FreeFive. Not so sure about Drew Brees.
