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."

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.

As much as I would love this, I dont see TG getting into coaching unless its up here in Atlanta and even then its a stretch. He's done a bunch of interviews talking about how he is ready to spend more time with the family etc. Coaching requires even more of a time commitment than playing.

Oh well; Jon Embree just happens to have been TG's position coach in KC, so he's gotta be the next best thing. I'll settle for that! ;D Posted : Jan. 16, 2014 9:54 pm Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest #RidetheLichtning 8) Posted : Jan. 22, 2014 1:32 am Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest http://atlantafalcons.blog.ajc.com/2014/01/21/new-coaches-tice-cox-to-preach-toughness/ I guess I missed this but Bryan Cox has signed with ATL as DLine coach. He was one of the few coaches that I wouldn't have minded to re-sign. Posted : Jan. 22, 2014 10:18 am Anonymous (@Anonymous) Posts: 0 Cabin Boy Guest Yep. Decent coach.
