Coordinator hires are flying around - except for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

PrintThe Kansas City Chiefs have hired Brian Daboll as their offensive coordinator. The Pittsburgh Steelers are hiring Todd Haley, according to 610 AM in Kansas City and confirmed by Chris Mortensen of ESPN. The Oakland Raiders hired Jason Tarver as their defensive coordinator. All this happened in the past day - while the Bucs have just been turned down by Florida defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.
I'm sure the Bucs are very busy assembling a coaching staff behind the scenes, making moves no one knows about. That is, after all, what they did all offseason in pursuing Chip Kelly and later Greg Schiano - moves that didn't leak until hours before contracts were signed (or contact was broken off).
But the Bucs do need to hurry a little. Not because the players aren't being coached - coaches can't talk to players in the coming months anyway - but because the Bucs must evaluate the roster, the free agency market and draftable players. To evaluate those players properly, they need to know the schemes the team will use - and to do that, they need to know who the coordinators will be.
Moreover, the longer this goes in, the harder it will be to hire quality coaches. The Bucs can't afford to come up with another Jeff Jagodzinski as offensive coordinator.

3... 2... 1... OK now
We are getting to the point where it is almost a lost season. Freeman needs a solid OC and QB coach – not the last kid picked for the dodge ball game.
I coached DC for our local mighty mites team.
I will do it… Lol

I win more than I lose when I bust out Super Tecmo Bowl.
And I cost less than the competition.
Am I going MAD, or did the word "think" escape your lips?
Perhaps they'll spring a full slate of assistants on us sometime this week.
Until then, yes, this is, indeed, absurd.

It is panic time....
God I wish our loser owners would just sell the team already.

at this point that's all you can do, boycott going to the games until the glazers sell the team
and hope the new owners dont move the franchise to LA.

People who think that the Bucs would ever move are beyond dumb
Their stadium deal is the envy of the NFL. They will never move.

No stadium deal will bring in what LA would.
Sorry.

Yeah.
There are about ten other teams that would move to LA before Tampa. Sorry

And the primary asset of the team is the stadium deal.
They didn’t pay for construction costs, they keep almost all revenue for any and all stadium events and the taxpayers and not ownership are responsible for upgrades, such as the 18.7M we shelled out a couple of years ago. On top of that, they pay absolutely zero property tax, which saves them 5.7M a year. No one will ever buy that team and then walk away from the deal that makes so profitable. I don’t really know how else to explain it to you.

I agree with you leecaz.
The best we can hope for is the glazers sell the team to owners who give a damn. I am so tired and aggravated with these people knowing that they will probably never sell the bucs and also never bringing us a good quality team. I guess we are stuck with these bozos. The only way we make the playoffs again is if they get lucky. No quality FA in his right mind will want to come here. I sure wouldnt!!!!

Hopefully they are looking at some top collegiate coordinators that will be grateful to move up
Todd Monken for OC, Phillip Montgomery for QB coach, and Butch Davis for DC. Get it done Dominik.

Although, the fact that they would even interview Quinn makes it seem like Davis told them no as well.
Davis is much more qualified, so I don’t know why they would be looking elsewhere unless he told them he wasn’t interested.

It all makes sense, we will be stuck with non quality assistants.
And the losing will continue.

That's One Of Many Schiano Problems
One reason we’re having so much trouble with coordinators is that we have a college coach from a not particularly strong college program who has virtually no NFL experience and what little he has was over a decade ago. Nobody knows him, nobody knows what he’s like. And who wants to leave a good position for an unknown position? Just one of the many problems with this stupid hire.
it is what it is.
I still would rather have Schiano then a retread.

I dont have a problem with the schiano hire.
Its the penny pinching owners hamstringing him trying to hire quality help…

mabey we should of hired Marty or Cowher
I am sure they would have coach’s hired by now, cause they are respected.
I doubt that.

I dont believe it is on schiano,
again it apparently is the type of contracts being offered and the penny pinching by the glazers.

Hello... and thank you for making sense.
Schiano is having trouble (and DOm is not helping) assenbling a quality staff, which was my fear in hiring a non-NFL experienced HC.
Can we start crying now?

I can't give up faith to fast.
I believe there are coaches out there we aren’t even thinking of. We may not get our fantasy picks, but i can’t think they are truly that stupid as to hire another broken staff.
I Think We'll Have 10 wins
In the next 3 seasons combined if this keeps no good coordinators left outside of Hue Jackson and he only cares about self this gonna be a sad team
I Maybe Wrong But I Doubt It
True, but his products are ALWAYS successful.
Everything the man touches, produce’s. I agree he is egotistical. I also believe Shiano is a strong willed fella and can keep Hue in line.
I wonder if we are looking at Kirby Smart from Bama? He would be a good DC.
Great as that would be why on Earth would Smart leave Bama for the Bucs
Bama’s national title team’s defense is actually probably better than what we put out at the end of the year sadly.
Good luck Rah. Bring us Mo Claiborne and replace Geno, Quincy, and Sean Jones!
Kirby Smart?
He isn’t going to leave Alabama to become a coordinator somewhere else even if it’s the NFL. He’s looking to be the HC of a good program.
Either way...
If you overlook the ego part. Hue has tons of “NFL” coaching experience at alot of positions. So if anything was to go wrong with Shiano anyways. We at least have an experienced back up.
Packers just blocked us from talking to their TE's coach.
Where’s the love?
