Buccaneers: John Harbaugh (trade)
The Bucs have not made a splashy hire since they traded for Jon Gruden way back when. This ownership is up to something, and has a trick up its sleeve. The Bucs have been very slow to put in many interview requests, and some think they are stalling to see what happens in Baltimore. And they should be. They failed to get Chip Kelly or Gruden, again, a year ago. They can't do another Raheem Morris or Greg Schiano or Lovie Smith orDirk Koetter hire now. The stated desire to keep Jameis Winston and the existing front office would be an issue if they did make this pursuit, but then again, you don't try something this big without being willing to make massive changes to see it through. I'd offer two second-round picks the moment the Ravens' season ends -- especially if that comes Sunday -- and I'd offer Harbaugh $11 million per year with the ability to evaluate the entire team, including the quarterback. And if ownership is truly committed to Winston, then I'd be all-in on a college guy, like Kirby Smart, who comes from the same coaching tree as Jimbo Fisher, Winston's college coach, and who might best be able to make this thing work long-term.
