Coach Changes: Firings/Hirings

If the bucs are smart they should hire Coughlin who lives in Florida.

Sure, if they want an over-the-hiil, worn out old guy. It would be easier and much cheaper to just grab some old guy off the street in Tampa. There are plenty of other old guys who were forced to retire in Florida.

Remember Marv Levy? He didn't win 2 SB like Coughlin and had success in his 70's.

Coughlin ain't Levy and Coughlin looks done to me. I can practically smell it on him!

As a retired old guy, I've learned that most of us are done before we realize we're done and it comes at a different age for each of us. I think Coughlin is done but he doesn't realize it yet. He'll be pissed at Mara until, one day, he'll realize that Mara was right.

We're doing fine on defense. We just need a couple of star players on that side of the ball.I thought we had a couple in Kerrigan and Hall. Counting hype, "Pot Roast" gets mentioned a lot, even though he's not an every-down player.

This regular season defensively we were 17th best in pts/game. 28th best in yds/game. Better than it looks on the field, but not terrible. Still seemed to me like we got shredded anytime we played a good offense.

Lovie Smith's track record really hasn't been as good the past several years as I thought it was, but we really could use a better defense.

I think we need a better defensive coordinator, like a Wade Phillips or Rex Ryan. I understand we will have to go with someone who isn't established, who can develop into a Wade Philips. I just don't think Joe Barry is our guy.

the espn980 crew was speculating that they wanted to give the job to their OC after how well he worked with Winston, and they were afraid that the OC would get HC offers for other teams.

Lovie might be a perfect fit in NY or Philly?

At this point I would just move Perry Fewell to DC if they decided they needed a change. But I very much doubt any of the staff will change unless they are hired away.

He would be a great fit in NY or Philly for us, as he would lead them into years if mediocrity.

Not cool, chucky!

jon spent a lot of time falling in love with bad qbs. philly taking him wouldn't necessarily be a bad hire for skins fans. he's been on the bench a while, though he's been active, so i doubt he'd be rusty.
