Good thing we still have people holding onto Gruden after 3, coming up on 4 seasons gone. I would love to have him back, but 3 years is way too long to hold on.. maybe its time to get over it?

I am beginning to believe more and more that Chip Kelly was a smoke screen to make us all believe that the Bucs were going to spend money.

TOTALLY AGREE

It is possible that is what happened....

I'm willing to give Schiano the benefit of the doubt right now.  He has been heavily endorsed by Belichick which says something. 

There is also the fact I'd rather the Bucs take a chance on Schiano then go with Sherman.  I'd rather the team just coach itself then to go with Sherman.

What does wifey hear ?

So what, they offered Kelly $6 million a year hoping he'd say yes, then back out, just to show they'd spend money?

I bet if Kelly had actually taken the job, people would accuse the Glazers of over-paying him just to show they'd spend money.  By, you know, spending money.

LaCanfora reports, "Rutgers coach Greg Schiano is under consideration for Bucs job. Mike Sherman had 2nd interview. Rob Chudzinski might as well"

Glazers weren't lying when they said that they'd search high and low for their next HC. Oldtimers, has-beens, up-and-comers, college coaches, retreads, etc etc.

Chip Kelly turned the job down at the last minute, but another college coach has surfaced as a potential candidate to take over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Rutgers coach Greg Schiano is a possible candidate for the job, according to Tampa sports radio station WDAE. NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora later reported that he was hearing the same.

This is far from the first time Schiano’s name has surfaced as a coach who could jump from college to the NFL, but as recently as January 14, the Newark Star-Ledger was reporting that Schiano had no interest in leaving for the NFL.

Of course, if Schiano changes his mind about that, he would hardly be the first coach to do so. And owners who are willing to offer $6 million a year can be good at changing coaches’ minds.

All we know for sure about the Bucs is that they’re taking their time and considering a wide variety of candidates. Tampa Bay is the only team in the NFL that doesn’t have a coach.

They scratched each others back.  It made Phil Knight sweat and it made the Glazers look like they wanted a big splash with the buzz generated.  Win/win for both parties.
