Hmm....looks like Schiano has a few names in mind.

[BucD]

Doubt he'd be the DC...

Probably the LB or DL coach...

[Skull and Bones]

oh how exciting.

[Beatles123]

oh how exciting.

Hey, I will turn this car around right now young man!

[3rd String Kicker]

Familiarity seems to be a theme in the search for the coordinators / positional coaches.

[Beatles123]

That's not always a bad thing if they have chemistry and can produce.

[JasonOfthetower]

Cignetti seems credible, don't know about the defensive guy though. What happened to Butch?

[Beatles123]

Some of these names are likely a red herring   

[3rd String Kicker]

Butch Davis would be interesting, haven't heard about us interviewing him yet.

[Skull and Bones]

Cignetti seems credible, don't know about the defensive guy though. What happened to Butch?

im guessing the interest was one sided.  he is a guy thats now 60 and has made decent money over the years.  he doesn't need to work.

[Beatles123]

Any word on that Mark Whipple rumor from yesterday?

[bucs63]

Some of these names are likely a red haring

I believe that's spelled harangue.

[3rd String Kicker]

Football Scoop reports, "Tampa Bay: We learned this afternoon that Greg Schiano plans to interview Cleveland quarterbacks coach Mark Whipple in Tampa for the offensive coordinator job."

[sunrisejeff]

If I had to guess Fraser would be interviewed as a LB/Def asst type role.
