    I enjoyed the podcast guys. Missed Ira a little bit. Spent too much time talking about Gruden I thought. I think Gruden probably still has respect and goodwill of alot of the fan base and that is well earned-Super Bowl ring will do that for you. I believe our best interest as a team will be to win enough here on out to keep our coaches and GM. Then draft defense heavy and build upon what I’d call alot of post Brady success. Firing a head coach is like blowing up your team and starting over again. We just need a little patience and a handful of players. As long as Todd hasn’t lost the locker room and we win most these remaining games we shouldn’t be changing coaches. Gruden can coach somewhere else.

    Sage, Steve and Lee many thank for another quality podcast. It is one of my favorite features on JoeBucsFan and I look forward to it every week. Your wit and wisdom and professional approach on all things Bucs laced with humor makes for a very entertaining and enlightening show. Keep up the good work and keep em coming!
    Also, Ira, from one septuagenarian to another, your articles are first rate and make our generation proud.

    Off topic but did anyone see the Colorado game today those boys are on fire and I had no idea that Warren Sapp was the ass. coach to Deon but there he was sporting a mohawk no less and had that defense humming and jumping around on the sidelines all fired up their D-line was playing with his fire so now I think why didn’t the Bucs ever bring him in for a job?? I mean the guy was always a great football mind.And on a side note today while watching the Gators game I see a guy get a sack #94 with the name Sapp he’s a junior for the Gators and was in the backfield all day anyway I researched a little and he’s Warren’s nephew WOWW!!!! I would love to take a flyer on this guy if and when he decides to enter the draft so it’s been a strange kind of Sapp day for me lol…

    It would be hard for the best rushers to get sacks when wrs are almost instantly open in the soft zone coverage defense bowles is running Joe.

  5. Pewter Power Says:

    Nobody was saying this defense sucked in week 2 no Kancey no Winfield no problem. It’s not the players it’s the coach and his stale scheme. If he ends the season sucking as a coach and a coordinator no need to fire him he might as well retire with that resume

    Kenton has an odd love for Bowles. I’m not really sure why that is.

    Losing football must be his jam. Those L’’s taste better than crab legs.

    Probably also a safe guess he wanted Winston to stay as our QB.

    I’ll never forget when he ate the W and his teammates looked on in horror.

    Just imagine a combination of Lovie 2.0 and Jamoist. Brutal.

  7. Dave Pear Says:

    Sage — thank you. You, better than anyone who drivels on these pages, know that the Bucs HC/DC is floundering and seems to be hunkering down on the insanity defense — “Do it the same way and expect different results.”

    This is what got the first Lovie fired. It seems odd that someone as smart as this guy wouldn’t recognize that. May BA could privately step into a conversation with the gallows pole’s next visitor and give him some needed blunt truth.

    Obviously no one else has gotten through to him yet.

    Good podcast! Hope to find out ‘Where’s Ira” next week or so.

    These close games are frustrating. Along with the coin tosses, OT rules, and refs inaccuracies too.

    Thinking Palmer’s concussion is still part of the hesitation on using him.

    In agreement about Coen’s last game. Overall he is doing very well. The poll was disappointing on Bowles. Interesting about Deion. His son will go wherever he goes. Sapp may go where he goes too.

    Dungy always has my respect. Good man. I am a no to Gruden coming back. Someone mentioned in comments a while back in another Joe post, “It’s like remarrying your ex twice and living to regret it again.” Exactly that. Agree, he works well with veteran QBs. A lot of other coaches do too and will be available. A no to Belichick too.

    Losing record with a losing coach equals Liam becoming head coach and we find ourselves defensive coach
