Those Glazer boys had a plan
I think a lot of people are missing the big picture. If Lovie were hired, it would be more for the level of respect he would instantly bring from players and fans. One of the biggest reasons I didn't want Schiano back was for his poor reputation throughout the league with players. For every McCoy singing his praises, there was a Michael Bennett trashing him. That's going to take a toll when it comes time to lure free agents. Lovie would be the quickest way to build goodwill with the rest of the league. Unlike some of the other big name coaches available (looking at you Shanny), he parted ways with the Bears with a winning record and good reputation.
And a historically bad offense.
...or is it Offence?
Should be offence...but us dumbazz americans always have to be different so we changed it
Under Leslie Frazier, the Bengals had the 28th and 21st ranked defenses and the Vikings never reached a top 10 D under him as DC...Lovie really wasn't an impactful HC...Not sure how I feel about this squad of rejects becoming our coaching staff.

Speaking of Bennett, I sure hope we bring him back.

It's not like we didn't get any free agents under Schiano

Lovie always had a good D there thats why.
Alex Marvez ?@alexmarvez 2mEchoing other media reports, I spoke to someone in @TBBuccaneers organization & belief is Lovie Smith strong favorite to become head coach
Look, the question is can he coach? Yes, he is a guy who has proven he can get a team to the SB. He can get to the playoffs. Hell, he got to the SB working Rex Grossman. There is no doubt he can coach and understands how to succeed in the NFL. Not sure what more you want. There aren't any SB winning coaches just sitting around dying to coach again - Gruden, Billick, Cowher, Dungy - so get that delusion out of your head. There are legit questions about his commitment to a good offense but then again you look at the trainwrecks he had at QB in CHI and the forced upon him Martz and no one is gonna dial up a good offense with those dudes. Tedford is an offensive mind who put 8 QB's into the NFL - frankly their lack of success is maybe a better sign he's a good coach because he wasn't just riding their mad skills to victory - so he knows something about passing the ball. The challenge there is that he has never played or coached in the NFL and that should be a concern.
We were the worst offense in the NFL, Can we get any worse?
