Tampa Bay Turned Down By 6-7 Coaches?

[JavaRay]

The only coach who has been in actual negotiations on a binding contract is Kelly.

Normally when a guy goes into "actual negotiations on a binding contract", he has been chosen and the owners think he will accept.    That doesn't mean a guy like Fisher who had no interest in the Bucs and refused to talk to them didn't in effect turn them down as well.

According to Charlie Campbell, former Pewterreport writer, now with Walterfootball:

http://walterfootball.com/seniorbowl2012rumors.php

"Sources said the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head coaching position has been turned down by six or seven coaches. That includes coaches declining interviews and actual negotiations about the position. Some of the known candidates to say no thanks are Oregon coach Chip Kelly, Texans defensive coordinator Wade Philips, new St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher and new Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin. Sources said they believe the Bucs are interested in interviewing both of the New York Giants coordinators Perry Fewell and Kevin Gilbride.

One of the issues that Tampa Bay has been having is allegedly they are trying to slash the severance packages of the coaches if they are fired, for assistants and the head coach. The Bucs are trying to save money by making changes there, but it is not sitting well with coaches. Last year there were top college assistants making more money than the Bucs assistant coaches. "

Yes, vincepb3LOL!

We all know that the reason the Glazers pay their assistant coaches LESS & want to reduce severance packages is because they're cheap "they haven't drafted well in the last 10 plus years".

We got it.

CC's target market.  Thanks for illustrating my point about manufactured controversies

I could use a hooker.

Not really a hooker, but maybe you could hook up.

Frequently fans give knee-jerk reactions to stories and I'm guilty of that sometimes as well but let's be honest with ourselves for a moment here....this team has NO RESPECT. It starts at the top and continues throughout....figuratively, this team gets its lunch money taken in the schoolyard.

A serious culture change must happen and that means starting with upper management...

So if during Prom Season, an Ugly Chick walks up to 12 different guys and before she can get a whole sentence out they all turn around and walk away.

Technically, she's still batting 1.000.... because she didn't actually get to the part where she discusses prom night details/wishes??






OK, dissers of the article... whatever you say....  [eyeroll]

[VinBucFan]

Is CC to blame or are the "fans"? The Bucs are an ugly chick who has no date to the prom? Yikes.

"Whatever it takes...."

Except commensurate NFL contracts.

Details details. No big deal here

lol@ this piece of pathetic journalism. I hate how these writers can get away with anything.

[JasonOfthetower]

While I respect CC to the utmost, I have to say he's full of Stroud with this piece.

Ok, this article is just completely wrong. The premise is wrong. I hate stupidity like this in the media. Here is TRUTH, Campbell:

The Bucs have been turned down by 1) Bill Cowher (who turned down everyone) and 2) Chip Kelly AFTER he had already worked out all the terms of his contract.

1. The Bucs did not make an attempt to hire Jeff Fisher
2. Joe Philbin did not turn down the job, he was never offered it
3. Likewise Wade Phillips

Charlie said pretty much the same thing - but wrote it for dramatic impact by including others who didn't interview.

[TheChronicHotAir]

Charlie is Spot On.


see my "Ugly Prom Chick" reference above

[Benchwarmer#1]

Another almost-ran.

It's funny how players, coaches, and media want nothing to do with the Bucs, yet it's not the Glazers fault. 

...Now lets watch as Childress gets hired. 

[Kjun85]

Glaciers should just sell the team already!
