Tampa Bay fires Lovie
- Thread starter nolesboy11
- Start date
I remember a video on warchant were Jimbo said he would be interested in the nfl at some point if the right opportunity came along. Something to that effect. Anyway this would be that perfect opportunity in my opinion.
No way. Probably Dirk Koetter will be named head coach.
Not a good situation for Jameis. If anyone can adjust to an entirely new offense in only his second year than its him, but not an ideal situation for any young QB in the NFL
I see this as well. He is good . They were fifth in total offense .
That has been the prevailing rumor was that if Koetter's name got too popular in the head coaching circle that this scenario could play out.
Don't think this matters. Still think Koetter will be the new hire. Kelly would be a disaster with the players on the roster. And he is not a Jameis fan.
No he wont he has a ceiling and we saw it in atlanta with matt ryan which is why he was fired there.
Bucs need a young offensive mind like gase or jimbo to be the head coach
Wow, really? TB just demonstrated everything that is wrong with sports today. So, you bring Lovie Smith in for a year, and get Jameis Winston with the 1st overall pick. Smith and Winston take you from the worst team in the league to playoff contenders with just a couple weeks left in the season. You go from 1 win to 6 in just a year. Doug Martin finshes the year as one of the NFL's top RBs. Everything is looking bright moving forward, and you fire Lovie Smith??? I'm not a Bucs fans, but if I was I would be enraged with the absolute idiocy that was demonstrated by management today. TB will be back at the bottom of the barrel.
Thank God this kind of lunacy wasn't demonstrated with my Niners back in the day when Bill Walsh started coaching. He took a 2-14 49ers team in 1979 to 6-10 the following year with some rookie QB named Joe Montana. In 1981, the 49ers went 13-3, won the SB and began their dynasty. Not saying the Bucs were heading the same direction, but patience and time are apparently of no value anymore in sports. Absolutely pathetic.
Rant over.

I agree, did not see this coming. And soccer fans wonder why Man United is in the shitter!
First, this isn't 1979, there is far more money and far more fan interest that can easily lost.
Second, there may be the opinion that they recognized they made a bad/terrible decision. The sooner you cut ties the sooner you can start moving forward.
8-24 is the 2nd worst record over the last 2 years with him as head coach.
