What? You don't believe those awesome fluff articles on Schiano being a great man of faith and integrity?
Anyone have a link to show these decisions are Schiano's? Seriously? Seems all the comments I've read from him indicate that it's Dominik's realm though Schiano may support them publicly.It still reeks, but Schiano owns plenty of other issues we could bitch about.

Thanks, though it's all pretty disheartening to read about grievances and the Bucs. It's union sources that make the claim in those stories and they're probably right. Even though I've been "part of" decisions I didn't agree with I still had to live by them and take what comes of it. Hopefully the next GM and and Coach don't suffer for it.
Here's an snippit of an article I found just now about Nicks which also mentions the Tynes situation: http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/sunday-wrap-week-16-domenik-hixon-cam-newton-carolina-panthers-stun-new-orleans-saints-122213 CARL NICKS' FUTURE UNCERTAINThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally declared guard Carl Nicks out for the season the other day when coach Greg Schiano said Nicks wasn't going to see any action in the final two games.There's some concern he could be out much longer.Multiple sources have told FOX Sports in recent weeks that Nicks has seen several doctors and is planning to see a foot specialist soon to determine why he's experiencing symptoms similar to those he faced last year when he was placed on injured reserve with a toe injury.One of the sources said Nicks has been told his current issues are not related to the MRSA infection he contracted in the summer. Nicks returned to play two games in September but tests revealed his infection had returned - or perhaps never left his body. Nicks hasn't played since.The source said Nicks has been told he might be dealing with nerve damage that has affected the strength and sensation in his foot. It's unclear whether the MRSA infection aggravated those symptoms, which never really went away after they shortened his 2012 season."I will just have to deal with it my whole life," Nicks told reporters this summer. "I would lie if I told you it didn’t affect me at all. It affects the way I walk, the way I stand around. I have to stand a certain kind of way. It is something I just have to deal with. I don’t want to get into taking painkillers and not knowing if it is hurting.”Sources say Nicks has received mixed messages on whether he will be able to resume his career and regain the form he displayed with the Saints that led the Bucs to give him a five-year, $47.5 million contract before last season as one of the big acquisitions to kick off the Schiano era. One source said Nicks is hoping his upcoming trip to see a specialist will provide some clarity in that regard.Nicks is slated to earn $7 million in base salary in 2014, $6 million of which is guaranteed for injury only. The team has not yet placed him on injured reserve or the non-football injury list. Kicker Lawrence Tynes has criticized the team's decision to place him on the NFI list and has filed a grievance to fight the distinction. Tynes claims he contracted MRSA at the team's facility and should therefore be placed on IR. Tynes has implied the Bucs placed him on NFI to avoid the perception of admitting they're liable.
Whoa. A different sentence should be bolded:

I thought that was already understood...
Sorry, it was news to me. I know there was talk about how he'd have to deal with pain going forward, but there it says he's going to another specialist for "clarity" on his future. It sounds like things could be worse than we thought.
Gotta agree with other posters, they put nicks on IR with MRSA, tynes sues this organization for all it's worth. It's a shady move but one that covers the Bucs butt

Or they could just do the right thing by Tynes and IR him too
Huh? Am I missing something? How is the Nicks IR decision at Schiano's feet? Schiano isn't a lawyer and no doubt the Nicks decision relates to a legal case not a coaching issue.

That's not what Tynes wants though, he want the money, including the pension issues etc. The Bucs would never put him on IR they would just settle with him

Just going by info offered by Tynes. Can't see any reason for him to point the finger at Schiano without being warranted. If so, Schiano could easily mount a defamation-type case against Tynes...if he weren't such a holy man lol

If they put him on IR he gets his salary and his time vested so there are no more pension issues
