Yo, if I held my breath while waiting for PR or some other peoples in the media reporting biz to put this out there I'd be whiter than Powder by now man. I seen some debate here about whether we should keep Mark Dominick as GM after 2013. Shoot, I'm telling you that this man need to go if we ever going to be a respectable franchise again in the NFL. I know I be playing on him with the Marky Mark references cuz his draft picks and moves as GM be worse than Mark Walhberg's songs as a singer, but there is overwhelming evidence that says Dominick just has to go. Dude is 28-50 (35% winning percentage) and we aint never made the playoffs since he became GM. He has whiffed on a number of draft picks, including our franchise QB. The bigger indictment is that he never brought in legitimate competition for Freeman and kept feeding us BS about how great his work ethic is and how great he is. Look at your boy Freeman now Dom! And all of these picks invested in the D-line, yet we still looking for a pass rush. Aint nobody got time for this man.Yo, we can keep slapping each other over draft hits and busts and free agent busts/signings, yada yada yada. But there aint no arguing wins or losses. You are what your record says you is, and our record with Dominick as GM says we looking about as bad as Marv Albert's hairpiece on a windy day man. Regular Season Records since 2009New England: 59-19 (75.6% winning percentage) (they also have more than double the wins we got)Green Bay: 54-24 (69.2%)New Orleans: 54-24 (69.2%)Baltimore: 50-28 (64.1%)Atlanta: 49-29 (62.8%)San Francisco: 48-30 (61.5%)Pittsburgh: 47-31 (60.2%)Indianapolis: 46-32 (58.9%)Chicago: 44-34 (56.4%)Denver: 44-34 (56.4%)San Diego: 44-34 (56.4%)Cincinnati: 42-36 (53.8%)Seattle: 42-36 (53.8%)New York Giants: 41-37 (52.6%)Philadelphia: 41-37 (52.6%)Dallas: 40-38 (51.2%)New York Jets: 40-38 (51.2%)Houston: 39-39 (50%)Arizona: 37-41 (47.4%)Miami: 35-43 (44.8%)Minnesota: 35-43 (44.8%)Kansas City: 34-44 (43.5%)Tennessee: 34-44 (43.5%)Carolina: 33-45 (42.3%)Detroit: 29-49 (37.1%)Oakland: 29-49 (37.1%)Tampa Bay: 28-50 (35%)Washington: 28-50 (35%)Buffalo: 27-51 (34.6%)Jacksonville: 26-52 (33.3%)Cleveland: 23-55 (29.4%)St. Louis: 23-55 (29.4%)Not only are we in the gutter in the NFL, we also be only one of 9 teams (Buffalo, Carolina, Cleveland, Jacksonville, Miami, Oakland, St. Louis and Tennessee) that hasn't been to one playoff game since 2009. Two of these cats (Carolina and Miami) are probably going to the post-season this year though.Marky Mark Dominick seem to be in tighter with the media than Barrack Obama. We have been terrible with Dom as our GM, yet still aint nobody criticizing this dude. But the numbers dont lie man. I aint a fan of Schiano either but that is a whole separate argument right there. But if we keep Dominick after this train wreck of a season and his train wreck record as GM, it tells me the same thing some other people be saying here, that we have owners that are content with mediocrity. But that aint cool with me man, and it shouldn't be cool with you neither.
Why does everyone want him gone so badly? He has done great giving us cap room and bringing in pretty big names.
THe GM has 2 jobs. A. Bring in TalentB. Manage the capDoms done a pretty darn good job with both. The talent isnt executing, and even a monkey can spot a 2nd & 10 draw play coming from this team. There are changes to be made, but I dont see Dom as one of them.

Brining in the talent has to do with coaching staff as well. I think after Raheem and Schiano, it's obvious that he should be held accountable for his inability to hire a quality coaching staff. Now, if the ownership played a more active role in both hires.....

do you mean Wright at TE . ..wait is that a Dom guy? . . . . or Bowers at DE or Carimi at RG? Maybe you meant Skye Dawson or Tiquan Underwood (his latest stint, you know after being cut by his college coach twice) . . . maybe Russell Sheppard?Dom has managed the cap well and come up with some creative contracts .. . and Dom is a good guy and a good spokesperson for the team . . . and Schiano is NOT a great coach, he may not even be an NFL coach . . . but Dom has not been great at bringing in talent.Like everything Dom is a mixed bag, good and bad, and there are external factors only partially under his control, but it is tough to make an argument that he has been a good collector of talent given the team's record during his tenure.

Joking? Anyone can sign blank checks. Name his last o line draft pick? He is an awful GM. Getting a bunch of names means little if you don't win. Obviously some players play better with other players. A certain player may fit one scheme better than another. Bottom line is you still have to win. I don't want to hear any excuses blaming Schiano for burning the filets. They both suck.

I would rather be in the situation of having a talent laden roster with a coach that can't get them to the big game then have a world class coach and a roster void of talent. it is easier to go through coaches every 2 years then it is to turn over a roster and retool with quality players. even after 2 very good draft classes the Bucs still have holes to fill on their roster. compare that to what happened after bringing Gruden in. one year and the promise land. I think Schiano was what this team needed. Change the mindset of the players, stress hard work and dedication, while filling the roster with talent. maybe it is time to hand over the keys to the next "Gruden", maybe not. I don't get paid to know that.
His main job us to put the franchise in a situation where they can contended. Not only currently, but for an extended period of time. That has not happened during his 5 year reign and not many honest fans can say we will contend next year either. He is a failure.
Dom, Marky Mark, the GM Rockstar, Dumbinik, whatever you refer to him as, he's not a good GM. Main reason is he hasn't built a playoff or competitive roster in 5 seasons. Here's a few reasons he should be fired at the end of the seasonZero players from his first draft are still with the team. He gave big contracts to Michael Clayton, and Derrick Ward, neither panned out. Let's not even mention the coordinator shuffle that went on that year.After the lockout instead of capitializing on the cap room and signing some talent, he sat on his hands and over paid under perfoming players like Trueblood, and Quincy Black, and brought in a Punter. What insued was a craptastic 4-12 season and Raheem being fired with little talent and zero vet leadership to prevent the team from quitting on the staff.After surviving the purge of Rah, Dom neglected key positions like CB and a Veteran along the D line, which hurt the Bucs in their playoff push as they finished with the worst secondary in the league. While other teams made trades for Asante Samuel and Vontae Davis to shore up their secondaries Dom sat on his hands and expected undrafted free agents to play like Pro Bowlers.Lastly, instead of bringing in quality proven vets to add a pass rush to a potential playoff team Dom relied on his bad draft choices to all of a sudden perform at a high level and add a pass rush. The over reliance on so many players to come back from injury (Nicks, Revis, Joseph & Clayborn) and not adding a proven pass rusher has killed this team.Dominik is a losing GM that needs to be cut loose.

This post says it all. ALL of this is true.
Dominik's biggest problem is he hasn't been able to sustain anything close to long term success. He's only had two partially successful seasons and after both of them, the team lost more games than they lost the season before. His team went 10-6 in 2010 and then 4-12 in 2011. 7-9 in 2012 and now looking at possibly 4-12 in 2013 or 5-11 if they're lucky. Every time it looks like one part of the team is fixed, two more things break and you're back where you were before.
It be mad hard to make sense of you OP's writing, yo.
I think all are confused about the role of the GM, it isn't to win games, it's to bring in talent sufficient enough to win games and it's clear he's done well with that. If you want to fire someone fire Schiano and/or Sully. We're more talented than our record suggests.
Yo, I am cool with keeping Dominick around in another role. I get that the dude seems like a good guy and all. But I just got zero faith in him building a winner here, and he's had more than enough time to do it. We should spend less time on excuses for Dom and more time on finding his successor and a new head coach while we're at it. I aint letting the Glazers off the hook neither but we cant get them fired. I wish theyd sell though.Saying Dom has built a talented roster is crazy talk man. He has bought one because he and our scouting dept. haven't drafted well. You don't think we're going to wind up in cap trouble in a few years cuz of this? The way we're set up we have hardly any depth at key positions and our window of opportunity to win will close before we actually even won because we be losing right now. Try to see the big picture he man.

I am a fan of Dom, but we clearly differ on the meaning of the word "clear." ;)I also don't see how the standard for a GM is "talent sufficient enough to win games," that seems a little low. I get the criticism of Schiano and Sully, but don't think the question is an "or" as in one or the other.
