Players over scheme.

It is clear to just about anyone now, after Lovie Smith has gone 8-24, the second-worst two-year start of a Bucs head coach, that barring a freak injury to America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, anything less than eight wins in 2016 will be all she wrote for Lovie. [read more]
