OT: Bucs Fire Lovie Smith

[RobertWeathers]

Ok. He did get his first chance because he was the DC for Dungy who was an excellent head coach at Tampa and Indy. Lovie had a good team at Chicago which got progressively worse until he got fired there and had a second chance at Tampa.

Shame on you...remember that he was also DC for the Rams in 2001.

Regardless of color, fired head coaches typically get rehabilitated over time to get another HC chance, but the ones that actually become great like BB are few.

I agree. The NFL has a habit of recycling the trash. Hell, Wade Phillips, Tuna, Dan Reeves and Mike Shanahan have been a HC at 3 different teams so it is possible.

Careful, your racism is showing.

Same with yours making that assumption

And there's another open job.

Not a fan of Lovie, never have been, but the patience of these front offices is reaching absurdly low levels.

Bucs fire Lovie Smith

It's true. The FO was way too patient.

Careful, your racism is showing.

There's nothing racist in his comment, so take that **** elsewhere.

While I don't think much of Lovie Smith and his stubborn resolve to continue utilizing an outdated Tampa-2 defense that opponents had long ago figured out how to exploit, I didn't see this coming. The primary reason for that is because (if I am not mistaken), the Glazers will now be paying not two, but three different head coaches a salary this year: Schiano, Smith and the TBD HC.

On the other hand, this is not exactly new ground for Tampa Bay's ownership. (Again, if I am not mistaken) - the Bucs have simultaneously paid multiple head coaching salaries in every season ever since they fired Jon Gruden.
