Find me a better option and I'll give him a ride to the airport. But change for the sake of change is foolishness that only sets us back. And when you're looking at replacements, keep in mind that the biggest obstacle the new guy will face is overcoming the idiocy of the Tampa fan base.

Pretty much anyone is an upgrade over Schiano.It's not like Schiano is an average HC. He's AWFUL. It wouldn't be hard at all to find someone that's better than him.
Schiano should have never been hired to begin with. The first part to solving this issue is for the Glazers to admit this. He was the wrong hire. Once they can finally admit it then they can fix it. Hopefully they hire an actual football person to run the organization. They are running both franchises into the ground.
Dan Quinn, Ken Wisenhunt, Jay Gruden, Jim Leavitt, Mike McCoy.That's my top 5 and would be thrilled with any of them. And based on the difference in player we've taken under the two headcoaches, I'm pretty much of the thinking Dominik just does contracts.
Win, lose, or draw to the Saints next week (seeing as how they still need to win to have a chance at winning the division and make the playoffs I think, they will most likely win) I think it's time to clean house, and start over management wise.
I'm not a Schiano supporter, but I spend every day seeking out and insulting his detractors. Lmao!

I mean I realize you're just baiting here ... but how can you insult his detractors? They're pretty much spot on. The guy is not a good coach.
FireSchiano: "Pretty much anyone is an upgrade over Schiano."Thanks for illustrating my point with your mindless rhetoric. What was the excuse for why we beat the Dolphins? Oh yeah, "they were a team in turmoil." Well Tampa is always a team in turmoil. This is directly attributable to their fan base. You need only look at Tampa Bay sports radio to see that this is true. This section of media is primarily a group of parasites that attach themselves to the team and suck the life out of them in exchange for ratings. The reason this is possible is because there is a large market for their product. A large market for negativity in a comparatively small market. Changing the coaching staff is not going to change that. The Tampa media tailors its product to what the fans will buy. And in turn, Tampa gets the team it deserves. Why was Ron Freeman able to play Tampa fans like a rented banjo with such blatantly obvious bullhsit? Because he offered the negativity this fan base thrives on. He took a big dump in your Cheerios, told you it was Schiano Flakes, and you ate it right up and asked for more. Maybe it's time you pulled your collective heads out of your asses? Stop with the "anyone is better, we'll take change for change's sake" idiocy. A cursory examination of Tampa's coaching shows this to be false. What would even be the point of bringing in someone new if you pack of jackals is just going to turn on them anyway? Why would a coach even want to come here? This is the low rung on the ladder. Small market, spiteful fan base. The only coaches that want to come here are guys who would take any NFL job. Tampa Bay is getting the team it deserves. Changing the coaching staff isn't going to change that.There are probably only two coaches that might come here and get a fair shot from the fans, and that's Lovie and Gruden. Gruden probably doesn't want to come back, and Lovie looks like a ticket to years of mediocrity. Yeah, he would build a defense, but that's three quarters done already. A starting DE, and the continued growth of McCoy, David, Banks, and Gholston, along with some improvement on offense, forms a solid defensive foundation. I would be surprised if we weren't a top eight D next year, even with no changes in the staff.The offense is clearly not going to be so easy to fix. It is, however, relatively easy to make some large improvements. Our WR corps consists of VJax and a bunch of hobos. Seriously, there might be a couple of practice squad players, but that's about it. And everyone may love the Rainey underdog story, but if you think he's not a huge dropoff you're delusional. And we need some QB competition. And, oh yeah, we need a new O-line. It's going to take time to build all that. And changing the coaching staff isn't going to change that. Scream and yell like a bunch of little girls all you want, but you cannot force a quality coach to come here. Sorry Tampa, it looks like you're going to have to lie in the bed you've made for yourselves.
Yes, it is the fans fault the team has been terrible for years. Any team weak enough to be brought down by a local radio show is just that. I love when the out-of-towners try to grasp the pulse of the local community. Remember the outraged out-of-towners that were pissed the locals couldn't watch the game on television?
BucFucious is talking like Greg Schiano's agent. Blame the fans because we don't like losing.
I am surprised the that McCoy might be out of a job and I think he would be an upgrade for this team. Wisenhunt is a good choice as well but I like Zimmer a little more.
Bayfisher: "I love when the out-of-towners try to grasp the pulse of the local community. Remember the outraged out-of-towners that were pissed the locals couldn't watch the game on television?"I remember it was one dude, Morgan; and I understand that you're trying to discredit my viewpoint by associating me with something I had absolutely nothing to do with.
Yes, it was only Morgan. Lol. The local fan's attitude and investment has mirrored the success of the team. I don't see how that is different from any other city. What is the influence that the local fan has on the team that you think is so powerful? Any hometown crowd is going to boo when it is 0-6 and the playoffs are an afterthought.

I was one of Schiano's biggest supporters when he first came to Tampa and thought he would be a good coach. After his 6-4 start, I was really feeling good about him but after that it has been all downhill and I've seen enough. The guy simply isn't a good NFL head coach. Do you seriously think that there are many other coaches who would have only won 4 games with this roster? How could you possibly blame the fans for the team sucking? LOL. The fans may come off as negative, but look at the team. People are negative because the team is garbage and has been for several years now. We have the 2nd longest playoff drought streak in the NFL, IIRC, and we haven't won a playoff game in over a decade now. How do you expect the fans to be positive when the team is constantly losing?
