    I don't think he's a great coach, but they must have a handshake deal with Another coach

    Hell yeah, sick of these "offensive" minded coaches. Lovie could whip that defense into shape, I was actually impressed with the Bucs this year frankly

    Statement from Buccaneers Co-Chairman Joel Glazer:

    “After careful consideration, we informed Lovie that we have decided to make a change. I want to thank Lovie for his hard work and dedication to the Buccaneers during his time here. This decision was difficult on a variety of levels. I am disappointed that we were not more successful these past few seasons, but we are committed to doing what is necessary to give our fans the winning team they deserve. As we move forward, General Manager Jason Licht will oversee the process for finding our next head coach.”

    Wow. It's not like they were good before him. He actually seemed to be moving in the right direction and it seemed like he had a connection with Winston. Tampa will be shit.

    I just don't get what exactly they were expecting from a crappy after just 2 seasons and with a rookie QB It didn't seem like he lost his team. Bizarre. But their ownership sucks and always has.

    If they hire Chip Kelly... this would be so funny! Winston doing some zone read.

    I think Lovie got fired because he was black.

    Pagano lost his #1 QB who was obviously not well from the beginning of the year and still almost won the division with a 40 year old back up.

    What about Garret in Dallas?

    Garret probably did ok despite the injuries as Dallas was very competitive

    They almost won their division because of how bad it was. Pagano should not be a coach in this league and the colts will not win anything with him.

    They fired love smith to keep their coordinator, Dirk Koetter, who was getting interest for several HC vacancies.

    This is the same ownership who fired Jon Gruden to hire Raheem Morris, nuff said.
