Another year, another coaching search for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The Glazer family has hired four different head coaches since firing Jon Gruden, and none of them have found more than a few glimmers of scattered success while at the helm of Tampa’s ship. Raheem Morris, Greg Schiano, Lovie Smith, and Dirk Koetter represent the full spectrum of potential coaching hires — the up-and-coming coordinator, the college coach, the retread coach, the incumbent coordinator. Each failed in their unique ways, leaving the Bucs with few clear routes to take this off-season.
Still, they have to try. The trio of owners – and general manager Jason Licht, should he survive the coming purge – will turn over every rock under the sun in search of the right candidate, and may have already started that process with two games left in the disappointing 2018 season.
