Interesting addition.

Bryan Cox hired as Bucs defensive assistant | tampabay.com & Tampa Bay Times
He'll bring some attitude to the defense. Then again, Greg Lloyd could have done that last year too.

The coaching search is slowly coming to a conclusion.

Bucs hire Bill Sheridan as defensive coordinator | TBO.com
He wasn't exactly successful in his one shot as a defensive coordinator, but that doesn't mean he can't be.

WIth all the coaches now onboard, time to look at free agency.

As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.

Love how they waited until Friday night to announce the DC

It is the tradition for bad news.

Now for everyone to get up to speed on the same page.

I take it Sheridan will be calling the signals for the defense on the field. Anyone know if he likes to blitz? Hopefully tackling will be a focus for him. I guess he’ll do the interview thing Tuesday or Wednesday and maybe tell us more.

He traditionally sticks to four man rushes

But has a tendency to drop a lineman and rush a linebacker. That was his biggest problem in NY. He tried to get to cute instead of playing to a players strength.

On the Bill Sheridan Hiring

I am so sorry…

He got fired from the Giants because he didnt know what he doing. The only reason we didnt fire him in the middle of the season, is because giants will never fire a coach until the season is over.

5 games of allowing over 40+ points, and our players quit on him with 3 games remaining.

Lots of Zone, lots of prevent (with the 4th quarter still yet to play out) lots of the new “vogue” defense, I am sorry guys, maybe he learned how to run a defense, but as a Giants fan, he goes along the lines of Voldemort, “He, who shall not be named”

Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.

I think we're all giving him too much credit for what he is being hired to do.

His job is to stand there and call a defense designed and operated by Schiano and Davis.

Then they should have just bought out Davis

This is a terrible situation imo.

That would work, unless Davis didn't want to actually coach

Which is what he (and they) are saying.

This is at least the third guy we took

off of a college staff after they just agreed to coach there. People in the college ranks are going to hate us.

I think Schiano should be given the benefit of the doubt here

The defense is the most in need of a revamp. Schiano’s sees that. He brougt in Davis and Cox to help. I’m sure he’s aware of how Sheridan’s resume would raise some eyebrows and have some heads shaking in doubt. But, ultimately he wants to win and wouldn’t bring in someone who isn’t going to advance that goal. If he feels Sheridan can have a role in getting this defense back into contention again then he should be supported in that decision. Afterall, he has the most to lose if he’s wrong about Sheridan’s potential to assist him in what looks like a collaborative effort on defense.

One bad year/5 bad games in particular out of 31 years of NFL coaching..Is this what we're Sheridan on?...

that’s ridiculous…“Beggers Cant be Choosers”////…We’ve seen the lowest of the lows around here defensively the past 3 or 4 years; can it really get worst?…I think Sheridan deserves another shot at it; besides, there’s a heirarchy/support system in place; he’ll be put in the best possible position to be successful. All in all, I like what we’ve done with this coaching staff; we’ve added lots of experiance as well as coaches who’ve been around successful/superbowl winning franchises. I must admit, the Glazers did keep their word this time regarding the coaching search; now lets see how much $$$ they’re willing to spend during Free-Agency…
