I thought this was some REALLY interesting stuff. The Bucs wanted Lovie LAST YEAR. “@GilArciaTBC: Took care of some things this afternoon as we prepare for the new year celebrations but I did learn some things along the way re: the Bucs.”“@GilArciaTBC: I learned that the firing of Schiano as a result of a bad season was great timing. Reason being the team became intrigued with Smith's...”“@GilArciaTBC: ...availability. Not saying they instantly went to him this past offseason, but the writing was on the wall.”“@GilArciaTBC: Smith taking a season off was "no coincidence" as I was told.”“@GilArciaTBC: Still remains to be seen what happens though. They may be willing to give full control to the next HC. Just not sure how accurate that is.”“@GilArciaTBC: Not saying there was tampering or ownership went behind Schiano. But there was hope somewhere down the line.”“@GilArciaTBC: The Glazers did not want a losing team. But it happened. And so the dominoes may fall in their favor.”“@GilArciaTBC: And for the record, I just received a text from someone in the business close to me that confirms my tweets. So there you go.”
Interesting. I just worry about tampa 2 becoming the staple. The new NFL has no respect for it.
"Smith taking off a season is no coincidence as I'm told. "So is he saying Lovie sat out a year on purpose to wait for this opening ? I don't buy that.

Sounds doubtful. Can't see any coach taking a year off to be the next coach of this team.

Also can't see that... But I can see a coach sitting out a year to wait for the RIGHT situation. This might be one he didn't expect to be open.
If only we knew but no one here even has the slightest idea. This side of the game no fan knows.
All of the Lovie tweets scream "I'm a guy campaigning for a job"...Lovie may be more enamored with the job than the Glazers are with him...The Lovie deal is MEH to me...Wisenhunt or Jay Gruden would be better IMHO...but once again...the Glazers are doing it ASS BACKWARDS...the GM should be in charge of hiring a coach

Unless the next HC is the GM. Not to mention even with a GM picking a HC the owners are still involved. They'd be stupid to sit on the sidelines while some unproven GM slings their cash around.
I hate Schiano, ahhhhh he's such a horrible coach! Look at our offense, it's horrible. Let's bring in.......Lovie Smith, a guy with a lengthy history of completely inept offensive football! Yep, this is how ridiculous our fans are. Wanted Schiano gone? Cool. Want him replaced with Lovie Smith? You're a fool.

I shudder at the thought of a HC/GM combination...it is a recipe for disaster!!! Name ONE guy who held the HC/GM title and was successful???I will hang up and listen...
