We were just talking about him the other day - why wasn’t his name being bandied about. Guess he was under the radar.
Congrats on the j.o.b. Coach Smith!
What irony! They hire a coach who lost a Super Bowl to a former Bucs coach fired by the Bucs.
They could do worse, and have. I read somewhere that Lovie will bring on the Vikings’ fired coach as defensive coord.
He should be able to focus on football now that he no longer has to campaign for Obama like he did in 2012.
Lovie Smith is an outstanding defensive coach, and the Bucs have some great young talent on defense. All the ingredients are there for the Bucs to return to their Tony Dungy days as a defense-first team with an offense which ranges from mediocre to bad each year.
Maybe the Glazers have finally figured out they never ever should have let Tony Dungy get away.....much less run him off. Gruden was a fortunate opportunist.
