@ Big Marlon B

Griffin & Landry are guys fell into my category of likely to be franchised or re-signed. Would I love to have them? Heck yeah. Are they going to be available? Probably not.

Re: Branch. I’ve never seen him play but he looks like he put up some great numbers this year. May be worth a look!

Awesome, the coach I don’t want, a terrible OC, and a DC that would force us to change personnel.

LET’S DO THAT!

This wait is gut wrenching wanted assistants are being resigned or hired on other teams. I believe the longer they wait to hire. The pool of good assistants gets smaller and smaller. The Glaziers had too have known at least a couple of weeks before the end of the season that Rah was gone. They have had plenty of time to see what’s out there. Make a choice! “Exhaustive search” is right they are going to exhaust themselves into a situation where they have no legitiment choices left. This is like a twisted game of musical chairs. Where they can say this coach was the best available at the time. Well guess what two weeks ago you had much better choices. And you waited…

morgan1672 Says:

“I think a better trio would be -HC Marty Schottienhemer, OC Tom Clements and DC Mike Nolan. And have Nolan or Clements as further HC.”

I actually really like this collection of coaches morgan1672.

@ Sensible Buc

i like ur ideas, but i disagree about the safeties. i think Sean Jones should be out of here, and i also think there are a few quality safeties available in FA (Laron Landry, Michael Griffin, Tyvon Branch)….all young playmakers. they have some youth for depth, and possibly think about moving Myron Lewis to S if we can get CBs in here.

Do you think the Bucs are going slow on hiring a HC because they are waiting for Cowher to finish his deal with CBS next Sunday?

If they just have to hire Sherman let him pick his staff.

Last time rockstar picked coordinators neither made it through the season.

I can just imagine Dom and the Glazers boys sitting around mulling over the HC candidates. Trying to decide which one costs the least but gives the fans the illusion they give a sh*t about the organization. ” Yeh we want to win so badly for our fans”. But yet put them through an endless season of horribly coached football.

Offseason Moves I’d Like to See

#1) Shore up the Corner Position by drafting Mo Claiborne & Signing Brandon Carr (likely available because the Chiefs will franchise D. Bowe) or Tracy Porter

#2) Reduce Q. Black & Geno to backups through draft & free agency. Tulloch, D’Qwell Jackson or Leroy Hill (Marshawn Lynch will get franchished) perhaps may be there.

#3) Get a burner at WR (Rob Meachem because the Saints will likely franchise Colston)

#4) Cut Jeff Faine, move Zuttah to center & sign Carl Nicks from the Saints to be your LG.

#5) Re-sign Sean Jones to be a backup and draft a safety in the first 4 rounds…the UFA free agent class is terrible.

Yeah, so…3 guys lose badly and we think they just needed each other in order to win more games?

Lots of personnel moves to make this one even plausible – and it isn’t going to get done in one season…it’s a change in philosophy on defense and somewhat of reset on offense.

Can’t see this one being real as the owners are looking to generate ticket sales based on fans belief that they will win NOW.

It would seem to me that the obvious move is to find a coach that can take the current (young) talent to another level ala Jim Harbaugh.

For that reason alone I believe the pick HAS to be Zimmer…
