I can see why Richard is gaining momentum Did it in Seattle and doing it again in Dallas. If he brings his defensive coaching style to the HC spot it wouldn’t be a bad thing. How would he assemble his staff is the question. Same with another new guy like Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the coordinators are interesting who they can get. Does Richard recruit Bevell? Campbell with Taylor? No one really knows. There was no apparent connection to McVay and Wade Phillips, but they became a combo. At this point as long as Koetter doesn't return I m good. I just can t get around his loyalty to his staff and the lack of the running game and awful special teams for 3 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can t get around his loyalty to his staff and the lack of the running game and awful special teams for 3 yrs. With Koetter I feel it’s so hard to actually assess this team. Is a Barber/RoJo combo that bad or is it just the OL or both? Is Jameis a turnover machine or just been forced into low percentage passes his whole NFL career? Do our DBs completely suck or are we just not playing them to their strengths? Etc. I don’t know the answers to all those questions but I’m willing to bet that with better coaching and a staff that properly assesses this team, a few little changes and we could see a significant turn around.

Koetter had 4 years in the organization, it is time. The Bucs are not devoid of talent, but without a more solid oline they don t have a chance. Vertical passing with a suspect oline whose QB is the leading rusher, not exactly a recipe for success. The special teams has been a killer. Leaving points on the field, constantly losing field position on returns because of penalties. Hard to argue that the special team woes arent coaching related. I don t care that the Glazers struck out the last 4 HC coaching searches, I know Koetter is not an elite HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glazer family hasn t hired a GM first since McKay, maybe that is the switch with the coaching search this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland has made it known he wants to be a GM again, and he is from the Parcells tree so Campbell makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can assemble a team and get the right HC in place then go for it. I just hope that the team is run with an innovative 2018 touch rather than "defense wins championships" and expected to win 13-9 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravishingone Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Well the silver lining in the season is Nassib and Whitehead. I really can t see a new regime switching to a 3-4. Nassib and JPP both can t play OLB and are certainly not 5 techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having the guys to switch from a 4/3 to a 3/4 hasn't stopped many people from trying. 😂 I'd rather stick with the 4/3. Vea and probably Gholston are really the only two in the front seven who could make the transition easily. But we'd sacrifice the abilities of David and McCoy and ruin a good thing with JPP and Nassib at DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It s been a long season, I m ready for it to end. The blocked punt was the cherry on top of the Koetter tenure. We just saw it coming with the missed FGs and bad penalties. Taysom Hill a main character in another Bucs tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex is a great character and while I m a fan of press coverage, I have little interest in 2 gapping in today s NFL. I hope he gets a job somewhere in the NFL, just not Tampa.
