Such dribble, why are we talking about Schiano coaching the Patriots? I rather read nothing over that garbage.

Every once in a while I read a comment and just shake my head in wonder. Eric took the cake today. “Maybe one day we’ll hire someone who doesn’t need a mentor”…??? Just how stupid is that. First of all, in the history of the NFL has there ever been a HC who didn’t at some point in time have a mentor? Of course not. It would be impossible to learn all the nuances of the game without studying not only the game itself but the way the game is implemented by others and learning under others better than you as you progress. Wisdom is not waiting for experience to teach you lessons that you can learn from others who ‘already have’ that experience.

@BucBuckeye
Another question…did Bill ever offer Schiano a job? You would think so if he saw such potential in the man.

Alas…the destiny of the Buccaneers is to always try to defy the odds in regard to coaches.

You know…a fantastic incentive to get season ticket buyers would be insider videos of the meetings…edited of course, to leave out top secret content.

THAT would sell some season tickets.

Let me qualify my following remarks with the fact that I really like Schiano…and I believe the staff assembled to support him is top notch…

…and not to rain on anyone’s parade…

…but didn’t Belichik also similarly endorse Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weiss, Josh McDaniels, Eric Mangini, Nick Saban, and Jim Schwartz?

@clayburn,

More hammering Peter King and his following Belicheat comments.

Heck even guys who coached with Belicheat for years have been failures as Head Coaches.

They guy hasnt coached a game and King is puting out he could be following Belicheat as coach of the Patriots?

Me thinks he overmunched his popcorn.

I am unimpressed with who the guys mentor is. Rah worked directly under one of the best defensive coordinators in history and sucked it up.

That being said, Schiano will do a fine job IMO, on his own merits.

King’s an idiot IMO.

Name calling aside, Bill Belichick is one of the best Head Coaches the NFL has seen and his apparent willingness to help and endorsement of Coach Schiano is a good thing.

Of course this opinion comes from a guy who actually likes and follows the Buccaneers and the NFL so what do I know?

@Eric I take it someone had a bad weekend? Jeez man at least give the guy a chance to actually coach before you start hammering him.

@ bucbelevr

At this time, with the doors open to the facilities, that means players can come in, work out and sit with coaches to discuss systems, break down tape, and simulate game plans. They cannot be on the field doing any kind of practice (this would not mean that after getting on the same page with Mike Sullivan, Freeman couldn’t try to get the WRs and RBs together to start throwing balls and working on concepts).

Once OTAs start, (mid April for the Bucs), the team can get the players on the field for drills, but there can be no pads (other than helmets) and no contact what so ever.

Training camp is when players will be able to put on the pads and start hitting one another.

Gotta bear down and win the Big East this year.

Heard we were co-favorites if we can just stop Ucon’s offense.

Wasn’t Mike Tomlin Rah’s mentor?

Maybe one day we will hire a guy that doesn’t need one…………..
