Conor Orr ?@ConorTOrr 2mCan confirm that #Giants have given permission to Tampa Bay to interview Marc Ross. Report by @MikeGarafolo. Ross had interviews in '12 too
Here's another...@jwyattsports:The #Dolphins and #Buccaneers have asked for permission to interview #Titans VP of Player Personnel Lake Dawson for open GM jobs
@JasonPhilColeWord I hear is that #Falcons personnel man Lionel Vital has inside track on #Bucs GM job. Marc Ross, Morocco Brown, Lake Dawson also in mix.Former NFL Scout Russell Lande (@RUSSLANDE) chimes inAs well he should. His track record is far superior to anyone else that has been mentioned for interview.
hmm...what can we attribute Vital to?
damn . . a lot of teams that don't realize its not a "real GM" job

+1
Based off of what I've read about (tweets by guys who are in the know mainly) the possible candidates, Ballard and Vital are the two guys I am hoping for... but now that Ballard is out...
@RapSheet:On #Bucs GM search: #Titans exec Lake Dawson and #Falcons exec Lionel Vital are both set to interview tomorrow, per sources.
Hire Lionel.
I like Vital and Dawson, in that order.
Jeff Darlington ?@JeffDarlington 14mNo disrespect to Les Snead or Dave Caldwell, but Lionel Vital could be Thomas Dimitoff's biggest loss if he winds up becoming next to leave.
@AKinkhabwala:And NYG's Marc Ross Sunday MT @RapSheet w/ 2 GM interviews Sat, #Bucs have WAS pro personnel director Morocco Brown
I'm stunned Bruce Allen is letting Brown interview. The way the Redskins have their front office structured, you could easily give Brown the GM title without changing his current responsibilities at all. Allen spend half of his press conference last week talking about how amazing Brown has been.
Having heard good things about all 4 candidates I don't think we can go wrong with whoever we hire. Given the fact that Coach Smith has final say I would guess they are looking for the guy who would meshes with Smith the most as oppose to who has the deepest track record.

Give me Vital or Ross.
