HEAD COACH, LOVIE SMITHThe Buccaneers took 26 days to hire Greg Schiano as the Buccaneers head coach in 2012 after firing Raheem Morris. This time around it took just four days to find Schiano's replacement, as the Glazers, the team's ownership group, got the coach they had targeted from the beginning.The Buccaneers officially announced the hire on their team website Thursday afternoon." "Today is an exciting day for the Buccaneer organization, and the entire Tampa Bay community, as we welcome back Lovie Smith," said Buccaneers Co-Chairman Bryan Glazer. “Lovie is an accomplished and very well respected head coach who has enjoyed success at every level of his 30-year career. We knew from the start of our search that he was the ideal man to lead this team into this new era of Buccaneer football.”?? Smith and the team agreed to a five-year deal.Source: PewterReport Background: Wikipedia OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR, JEFF TEDFORD"Tedford joins the Buccaneers after serving as the University of California head coach for 11 seasons (2002-12), during which time he was the two-time Pac-10 Coach of the Year (2002, 2004) and led the Golden Bears to a share of the 2006 Pac-10 Championship, the school’s first since 1975. The winningest coach in Cal history, Tedford guided the team to a school-record seven consecutive bowl appearances from 2003-09 while making the Bears bowl eligible in nine of his 11 seasons, amassing a final record of 82-57 (.590).When Tedford took over at Cal, the school had not had a winning program since 1993 and had won just 29 games over a nine-year span (1993-2001). Tedford left the school with the most victories (82), bowl wins (five) and conference wins (50) in school history."

Prior to his time with the Golden Eagles, Arroyo worked two seasons under Tedford at Cal, first as quarterbacks coach in 2011 followed by a promotion to pass game coordinator in 2012. Prior to joining Cal, Arroyo served for two seasons (2009-10) at Wyoming as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He began his college coaching career in 2003, serving as an undergraduate assistant coach at his alma mater, San Jose State, for one year. In 2004, he was the offensive coordinator at Prairie View A&M, followed by four seasons back at San Jose State. There he served as an offensive graduate assistant in 2005, quarterbacks coach in 2006 and co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach from 2007-08.Arroyo played quarterback for the SJSU Spartans in 1998 and from 2000-02.

Source: Official Site Background: Wikipedia RUNNING BACK'S COACH, TIM SPENCERJeff Rapp of SportsRappUp.com, which covers Ohio State football, reported that Tim Spencer would be reuniting with Smith in Tampa Bay as the Buccaneers’ running backs coach. Spencer, a Buckeyes alum, and Smith coached together at Ohio State in 1995, and Spencer served on Smith’s staff as the running backs coach from 2004-12. Spencer was able to produce 1,000-yard seasons from Thomas Jones (2005-06) and Matt Forte (2008, 2010, 2012) in Chicago, but did not have much success in coaching Cedric Benson, the Bears’ first-round pick in 2005, to greatness. Benson didn’t rush for more than 674 yards in three seasons in Chicago.Source: Jeff RappBackground: Wikipedia RECEIVERS COACH, ANDREW HAYES-STOKERHayes-Stoker worked under Smith in Chicago from 2006-12, first as the team’s football operations and offensive assistant from 2006-09, overseeing football and business related duties, and then spending three seasons (2010-12) as an assistant wide receivers coach.

Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest Is Sparano official yet ?? His name wasn't listed. But there is no Offensive line coached named. Just an assistant O-line coach. So he probably will be officially announced soon. Posted : Jan. 9, 2014 7:15 pm Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest Gotta think we're waiting on something to happen to sign a DB and TE coach. I'd have no problem if Raheem came back to coach DBs, who I understand is being considered as the Redskin DC. And the guy I'd LOVE to see as our TE coach is Tony Gonzalez. He's a FA now and I expect him to retire...

I'm trying to find the article, but I read earlier that the Raiders assistants' contracts don't end for a few more days and that those that refused to sign new one-year deals (like Sparano) will move on to new teams. I'd imagine the Bucs can't announce him as a coach until the previous contract expires. Posted : Jan. 9, 2014 11:06 pm Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest Updated with the new additions. We got a few others for quality control and conditioning. I was reading that Larmie would be the DB coach, he was listed as senior defensive assistant. He's got a lot of experience, to include a barely winning record as a college football coach a few decades back.
