Bucs shrug off Schiano's OSU D-line comments

TAMPA, Fla. -- If Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy is bothered by Greg Schiano's comments about his Ohio State defensive line being better than the group he had in Tampa, he's not letting on.

"Everybody's entitled to their opinion," said McCoy, a five-time Pro Bowler, as he jogged off the field Monday. "That's his."

Schiano served as the Bucs' head coach in 2012 and 2013 and is currently the Buckeyes' defensive coordinator. His Bucs teams finished with 7-9 and 4-12 records before he was fired following the 2013 season.

In 2012, Schiano's defense gave up an average of 379.
