“Greeny, if you go to Jacksonville, you better learn to like Lynyrd Skynyrd. They’re like the GD Beatles in that town.”

Joe was always scared that ex-Bucs offensive coordinator and current Jags head coach Liam Coen would lift Bucs offensive line coach Kevin Carberry and bring him to Jacksonville.

But it appears another Team Glazer employee is his target. [read more]

So last night the Bucs pumped out news that they interviewed Nick Caley, a Rams tight ends coach to succeed Liam Coen. [read more]

Joe heard an insightful comment made by a departed Bucs coach.

No, not El Serpiente, Liam Coen, who did his first Jaguars news conference today as head coach. [read more]

There’s a football reason to smile today. Mike Evans was awarded more respect.

Evans will replace injured Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb at the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, which is now a flag football and skills festival at Disney World in Orlando.

It’s Evans’ sixth Pro Bowl, thrid-most appearances in Bucs history.

Just don’t screw up an ankle, Mike.

Bucs general manager Jason Licht.

There are all sorts of interesting reports about how Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen went from preparing for the combine to 72 hours later being named the new coach of the Jaguars. [read more]

“Hey Graham, you see any rumors about me on that iPad?”

Now that the dust has settled on Liam Coen bolting to Jacksonville, the next order of business for the Bucs is to keep the rest of the offensive coaches on staff. Maybe that’s just as important as finding a new offensive coordinator. [read more]

Robbed.

Joe can’t fully remember the last time a Bucs rookie made such a splash and such an impact as Bucky Irving did. [read more]

Joe brings this up for three distinct reasons. [read more]

Flash poll posted at 8:35 a.m. Poll CLOSED at 10:58 a.m.

The shakeup coming to Todd Bowles’ defensive staff seems like it will be limited. [read more]

Interviews.

The Bucs are one of 11 NFL teams without an offensive coordinator. [read more]

Guesswork on job security.
