Richiswhere Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I guess stats don't mean everything....... Bucs had the #5 offense in the NFL and the #10 defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicIsForSquares Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Smith just got dismissed by the Buccaneers. You think the brain trust will bring him in to interview? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvcanedy Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I'd love him. With guys like Gordon, Gilbert, etc I think he'd be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opal312 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I live down in Tampa Bay and this is the first I heard of it. This came out of nowhere! I listen to sports talk all the time and there weren't even rumours of firing Smith. I bet they lined up Chip Kelly and decided to let Lovie go. Why else? His record stunk but I thought he'd get a pass playing a rookie QB. Anyway, that gives Browns another candidate to interview. Anyone criticizing the Browns for firing coaches should look to Tampa first. Greg Schiano got 2 years, Lovie 2 yrs and they're the organization that fired Dungy. Gruden took all of Dungy's draft picks and won a Super Bowl. I liked Lovie. Hope he gets a shot to at least interview with Cleveland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opal312 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 What kills me is Smith was taking the team in the right direction. It was lousy when he came here. They drafted Winston and Ali Marpet and needed pieces for the defense in this years draft. Wow! I can't believe they fired him. There were no signs, no rumours, nothing that even said he was on the hot seat. I've lived here long enough to know the Glazers are a little tiched in the head. They fire coaches even when the team is starting to improve! Crazy! We could do worse than Lovie if Gase, Jackson, and Patricia take other jobs. The Bucs loss is definitely someone else's gain. The Glazers screwed Dungy and Imwould not be surprised if they lined up Chip Kelly or someone else and then fired Smith. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bammer Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I hear the Bucs are pretty high on the OC, and that he will get the job, but IDK much of the details??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lodilobo Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 So...everyone bitching about firing Pettine after 2 seasons....going from 7 -9 to 3 - 13....that doesn't look so terribly disfunctional now, does it? Lovie Smith was showing progress and Pettine was going in the wrong direction. Sure, a lot of different variables, but it's the bottom line that counts. I would take Lovie Smith here yesterday.

LOL... sorry, but the L. Smith firing doesn't make the Browns look any less dysfunctional. I'd hire Smith in a heartbeat if the story is true.

jiggins7919 Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Living in Florida, I have several friends that are diehard Bucs fans, and even though I order the Ticket, I still watch a ton of their games. The prevailing feeling from my friends was that the Bucs managed to win games DESPITE Lovie Smith, and they thought he was a subpar coach. The Bucs must have their eye on someone.

miktoxic Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 people love lovie cuz his name is lovie. in the same vain as i like patricia cuz she looks tough. GTFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Koetter is apparently getting interest from other teams. He did bring the #5 offense to the Bucs. The Bucs have not granted anyone permission to speak with Koetter. The trainwreck was the defense side of the ball, Lovie's supposed forte.. Blowing that huge lead to Washington should have gotten him canned on the spot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he gets a shot to at least interview with Cleveland! this is my last shot at rooting for this team the since 1962. there is nothing out there better than lovie right now...i think he is a very good coach and if we don't go after him and end up with some shitass coordinator with no experience, thats it for me....screw this piece of shit stinko organization...GO AFTER LOVIE SMITH AND LAND HIM.

Kvoethe Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Colin Cowherd had a great rant about how teams can spend millions on everything but quality coaching and they just keep recycling the same stiffs over and over. His quote was..any loser team that doesnt pay Saban or some of these other amazing college coaches 10mil to come coach are stupid. Why they go cheap on these guys is amazing.

Tour2ma Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 1. Koetter is apparently getting interest from other teams. He did bring the #5 offense to the Bucs. The Bucs have not granted anyone permission to speak with Koetter. 2. The trainwreck was the defense side of the ball, Lovie's supposed forte.. Blowing that huge lead to Washington should have gotten him canned on the spot.. 1. There it is... 2. Sounds familiar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
