Bucs hire Todd McNair, ex-USC RB coach tied to Reggie Busch scandal

TAMPA, Fla. -- Former USC running backs coach Todd McNair, who spent the past seven years fighting the NCAA over the Reggie Bush scandal and lost, will return to coaching in 2018 as the running backs coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, a source confirmed to ESPN on Friday.

In a high-profile defamation lawsuit, McNair accused the NCAA's Committee of Infractions of destroying his coaching career when it found him guilty of unethical conduct when Bush accepted improper benefits at USC, where McNair coached for six seasons and helped guide Bush to a Heisman Trophy in 2005.
