Former Bucs LBs coach and Bears head coach Lovie Smith is believed to be the leading candidate to replace Greg Schiano in Tampa Bay. Former Bucs linebacker Jeff Gooch speaks highly of Smith and believes Smith's consistency, work ethic and defensive mind would be embraced by Tampa Bay fans. https://www.pewterreport.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=9538:&Itemid=15
Looking back at past success will not bring us future success. We are going off of advice from Brooks, Nickerson, and Gooch. I love them all as players and leaders, but not too sure of management and coaching. Singletary and Jordan were great players who couldn't get things right as coaches or managers. The Glazers need to talk to successful GMs and HCs about what to look for in today's game.

I hear you but Lovie is only one year removed from a ten win season and if he is flexible enough, unlike Coach Dungy, to hire the right OC and go out and get a QB who can succeed in today's game? I'm all in in that case.But I STILL think you need a GM FIRST!
Jay Glazer ?@JayGlazer 6mThe Bucs are hiring Lovie Smith to be their new head coach, two sides are finalizing the contract tonight
If it's true, I like it. The defense will be in good hands, but like everyone else I'll be most interested to see how the offensive side of the staff shakes out.
I agree with 1bucfan... "Dungy like qualities"... I hope that doesn't mean only winning a Super Bowl when you take over a term with a high-powered offense led by possibly the greatest QB in the history of the NFL. Dungy sure coaches a great defense, and is a gifted leader of men, but am I the only one that remembers a lop-sided team that couldn't get over the hump? I'm pretty concerned that Lovie brings the same thing... and we don't have Peyton Manning under center.
