Tampa Bay is the graveyard of NFL head coaching careers

Good head coaches usually find new jobs fairly quickly once they're fired.

Which is a pretty good indicator that the Buccaneers haven't actually had good head coaches in the past, well, decade. Or ever, really. Because the only Bucs head coach to get a new head coaching job after being fired by Tampa Bay is Tony Dungy.

Ever.

Let that sink in for a second. The Bucs have employed nine head coaches prior to Lovie Smith. Of those nine coaches, only one of them ever found work in the NFL as a head coach again.
