Eventually for sure, but not immediately. First two seasons were rough for GMC, but to goto 6 pro bowls from 2012 to 2017 on those Bucs rosters with HCs Schiano, Smith, & Koetter is deserved of ROH consideration at the very least. Can admit I was critical of GMC at times like any other objective fan, but thinking back to how bad some of those teams were and who he had around him makes some of his accomplishments a little more impressive in retrospect. Wish him well, hope a finds success in whatever he does next.
I won’t forgive him for dancing on the sidelines while losing. The leadership contrast between him and JPP was stark. That being said, his individual production, public support for the team & community were great. I think he should make it in the ring after some time for fans to acknowledge that one DT is not responsible for the lost decade. But let’s get Wilder in first please.
Never was my favorite player but the dude is a class act, one of the better Bucs defenders in history, and to this day still loves the Bucs. Loyalty should count for something.
GRRRRR!!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE ANYONE VOTED YES – I VOTED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GRRRRR!!!! HE LIKES COMIC BOOKS AND THAT MAKES ME ANGRY!!!! GRRRRRR!!!! HE’S NOT HARD LIKE MA, HE’S SOFT LIKE ICE CREAM!!! GRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Wow! That’s a surprise in the voting. Most comments are usually about how bad he is. Looking at the names up in the ring already, is there anyone up there you would swap out for McCoy???? That’s how I decided on my vote…. And it made it really easy that way.
I like McCoy ALOT more than many here. He was a pro bowler, an excellent player who never had any help around him and played on bad teams, but… Not ring of honor material.
OBVIOUSLY there are players who deserve to be in there ahead of GMC. He was a good player during a bad tenure (notice I said “good”!).
I think he deserves it.
And to those crowing about Doug and Jimmy, either you weren’t around or you are just dumb –
What Culverhouse did to Williams was unspeakable – all he did is go to another league then come back and win a Super Bowl with a class organization at the time
Giles was simply uncoverable and nearly impossible to tackle
@Rod Munch My point wasn’t taking someone out of the ring. What I was getting at was a way to measure if he should really go in. So…. Is there anyone already in the ROH that you would replace to get him in. If you say no, then he doesn’t belong. If you say yes, then he should go in. I didn’t say someone has to be removed for him to go in. Good grief man
His important stat is 6 pro bowls. A popularity contest, not a quality of play or impact stat. Is L. David unworthy since he’s been snubbed from the probowl even though he’s put up game stats that are HOF worthy. MCCoy wasn’t great on the field, ROH should be reserved for greatness.
Yeah Rod , you are the genius trying to give the underachieving loser more undeserving accolades 👏 congratulations, you are the smartest guy in the room.

If Joe ran this poll and changed the name to David, I bet it would be over a 95% consensus YES. If you changed the name to Gene Deckerhoff it would be over 50% yes. Think about that! The owners shouldn’t even consider anyone who can’t get half the fans supporting the move.
I would vote JPP in just for calling out GMC and doing what GMC refused to do. Changing the culture. That’s what team leaders do.
Speaking of culture change… Why isn’t Hardy Nickerson ever mentioned for the ROH?
No, I do not want him on our house wall. Go back to ” Carolina where you finally feel at home” I bet they will add you to their ROH. McCoy was a good player, just never a great one. Wish we had drafted Suh. I also can not forgive the dancing and chucking it up as our team and his Defense had once again not done their jobs, and we are getting our arsess handed to us yet again… “Let’s just go have some fun”
NO NO NO!! To McCoy on the ROH, maybe in 15 years, maybe.
April 14th, 2023 at 10:15 am
If Doug Williams and Jimmie Giles are in the Ring of Honor then Gerald McCoy probably belongs in the ROH.
April 14th, 2023 at 10:20 am
Agree with Marine, and save a place for Brady too.
I hope the Bowles cleaner makes the right guesses on defense this season. A good one will go a long way on making the offense look good.
April 14th, 2023 at 10:22 am
He was a very good player despite all the hate… but a big fat NO
Simply no RoH career
Say!!!
Why is
JAMES WILDER not up there??????
April 14th, 2023 at 10:22 am
The ROH should not be for everybody, only the superachievers. So there’s that.

People that say know probably washes paper plates and writes with their fist
April 14th, 2023 at 10:36 am
What Honor did he bring to Tampa Bay??? The lost decade? Yeah great smdh
April 14th, 2023 at 10:37 am
People that say know instead of no are……….
April 14th, 2023 at 10:38 am
“only the superachievers.”
Jimmy Giles and Doug Williams were “super achievers”?
If so then Gerald McCoy should also be considered a “super achiever” as well.
April 14th, 2023 at 10:42 am
Agree with SB..If Wilder is not in neither should McCoy
April 14th, 2023 at 10:50 am

April 14th, 2023 at 11:02 am
Since they only add one person a year hopefully not. New players going forward will hopefully keep him out. I view him as a third tier for the RoH.
Tier 1 (automatic): Lynch, Brooks, Selmon, Barber, Lavonte David
Tier 2 (important to franchise): Wilder, Simeon Rice,
Tier 3 (had a good run): Gerald McCoy,
Tier 3 can be considered after all tier 1s & 2s are in.
April 14th, 2023 at 11:08 am
McCoy was very good but he wasn’t great.
April 14th, 2023 at 11:20 am
Heck no. Not a hater. Solid player. But not in that class
April 14th, 2023 at 11:22 am
No. go home to carolina
April 14th, 2023 at 11:49 am
No…over-rated.
April 14th, 2023 at 11:50 am
It depends….has he ever sent some slightly offensive e-mails??
April 14th, 2023 at 12:17 pm
Okay, so I was a big McCoy fan…loved him.
That said?
He should NOT be in the RoH.
April 14th, 2023 at 12:21 pm
over rated. good player….could have been great if not for being injury prone, soft and not a closer.
April 14th, 2023 at 12:30 pm
Joe should be in the ring of honor before mccoy
April 14th, 2023 at 12:39 pm
easy NO
April 14th, 2023 at 12:42 pm
Why would he ever even be considered for the ROH? So confused. He was a very good player for a few years.
Is it a charity/off field thing?
If Gmac is being considered for the ROH then Devin White should be too. LOL
April 14th, 2023 at 1:22 pm
GRRRRR!!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE ANYONE VOTED YES – I VOTED NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! GRRRRR!!!! HE LIKES COMIC BOOKS AND THAT MAKES ME ANGRY!!!! GRRRRRR!!!! HE’S NOT HARD LIKE MA, HE’S SOFT LIKE ICE CREAM!!! GRRRRRRR!!!!!!
April 14th, 2023 at 2:15 pm
10 years as a buc without a snap in the playoffs….. nothing to do with GRRRRR!!!!! Just how it is Rod, no need to scream.
April 14th, 2023 at 2:26 pm
If McCoy is considered, Donavan Smith should be too. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
April 14th, 2023 at 2:49 pm
Wow! That’s a surprise in the voting. Most comments are usually about how bad he is. Looking at the names up in the ring already, is there anyone up there you would swap out for McCoy???? That’s how I decided on my vote…. And it made it really easy that way.

Brooks, Lynch, McCoy?
A definite no
And to those crowing about Doug and Jimmy, either you weren’t around or you are just dumb –
What Culverhouse did to Williams was unspeakable – all he did is go to another league then come back and win a Super Bowl with a class organization at the time
Giles was simply uncoverable and nearly impossible to tackle
April 14th, 2023 at 7:03 pm
James Wilder TB12, Bruce Arians and Simeon Rice all should get in before GM93.
April 14th, 2023 at 7:10 pm
^^Rice n Wilder for sure. BA has imposed some negative legacy mojo (see BL and Todd) and he rode some serious FA talent
April 14th, 2023 at 7:48 pm
I don’t know, does 9.5 sacks in one season out of 11 warrant R.O.H.?
April 14th, 2023 at 7:48 pm
it’s only one person per year, first add Wilder, Alstott, Simeon, Brady, Lavonte, Evans…. then McCoy
April 14th, 2023 at 8:09 pm
Dummies, putting someones name up, doesn’t mean you pull down someone elses name.
Also, dummies, a DT tackle doesn’t determine if the team makes the playoffs or not.
Damn, you people are stupid. I mean that literally.
6-time Pro Bowler
3x ALL PRO
Yes, that gets in the ring.

April 14th, 2023 at 9:53 pm
Not a generational talent.
Do-si-do with Kwon while losing. “Having fun” is more important than winning.
Refusing to play anything other than 3-technique when Mike Smith wanted to show different fronts. Not a team player.
My vote is “HE LIKES COMIC BOOKS AND THAT MAKES ME ANGRY!!!! GRRRRRR!!!! HE’S SOFT LIKE ICE CREAM!!! GRRRRRRR!!!!!!”

Wahhhhh waahhhhhh people don’t like the player I like Wahhhhhhh! See, I can do that to Rod, not very constructive.
April 15th, 2023 at 9:17 am
Tbbucs3 if any of those said emails have him calling the owners c$#@$suckers he won’t be in the ROH honor either.
April 16th, 2023 at 2:21 pm
