I am a Tampa native and lifetime Buccaneer fan and season ticket holder until this year. Tampa has been cursed by the two worst owners in the history of the NFL.We all knew that Culverhouse, a tax attorney, was only interest in profit, extra circular affairs and real estate development.Under Culverhouse’s 20-year ownership the Buc’s Win record was (.307). His reputation was so bad that when we had the first overall pick, Bo Jackson, Bo gave up his right to play in the NFL rather than play for Culverhouse.After Malcolm Glazer purchased the Bucs I had high hopes. The first two coaches under Glazer’s ownership, Tony Dungy (.563) and Jon Gruden (.509) are the only coaches in Buc’s history to have wining records and the Glazers fired both.Since Dungy and Gruden were fired the Bucs Win record is (.337).Many teams in the NFL figure ways to exceed the maximum total salary allowed. The Bucs are the only team exposed in figuring ways to appear to be paying the minimum required by the NFL to create parity.After the Bucs fired Gruden & Rich McKay many NFL prospective coaches from coordinator ranks and assistant general managers would not even interview with the Glazers or return their phone calls so we ended up with Morris and Schiano.I see no future for the Bucs as long as the Glazer’s are the owners.
