BA Baracus Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 A former Bucs player who spent 2012 in Tampa calls playing for coach Greg Schiano "worse than you can imagine," and "like being in Cuba."

wpayers Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Tampa homer here. In all my years of following some likable teams through some trying times (i.e Jets, Bucs, Mets, Vikes, Magic) I've never seen a city so riled up against a coach. Folks here in Tampa HATE Schiano! Amazingly, it's taken only 6 months for the villagers to light the bonfires. There is a real sense of rooting against the Bucs so the owners have no choice but to send him packing back to Piscataway ASAP. Just listen for the boos tonight.

BA Baracus Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 At the end of the article on NFL.com there are some good comments. On guy points out that they may not fire Schittyano because of the ongoing investigation over the substance abuse program leak. If they can prove that he did it, the Bucs could get out of the contract with him. Schiano is right up there with Lane Kiffin in terms of being a total a-hole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stethant Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Schiano is right up there with Lane Kiffin in terms of being a total a-hole. Excellent comparison, although I'd add a hint of Josh McDaniels as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron677 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Lol sorry I'm very ignorant about the topic. What did Schiano do to make everyone hate him so much? I know he got some hate for releasing Josh Freeman but that was a good move so I have to assume it has to do with something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolverines Fan Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 (edited) From rotoworld. Bucs sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport it's "no guarantee" coach Greg Schiano keeps his job through the end of the season. The report comes on the same day a former player compared playing for Schiano to "being in Cuba." Schiano's second season is shaping up much like the third year of the man he replaced, Raheem Morris, only with a lot more off-the-field drama. Schiano's on-the-field product hasn't quite approached the ineptitude of Morris' in 2011, but it's getting close.

Wpob Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Well, at this point, keep Schiano, tank the rest of the year, get your QB and a new coach next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Revis was asked after the game if the team supports the coaching staff, his response "I don't know" http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000269293/article/darrelle-revis-i-dont-know-if-bucs-back-greg-schiano And now a source is reporitng that Doug Martin could be out 2-8 weeks (saw it on Huddle news), well that really narrows it down. I guess they still hope he can just play through that torn labrum I also saw last night that during the post game press conference they asked Schiano if the all the negative stuff (fans booing, the Fire Schiano billboards, etc.) bothered him. I missed his whole response, but it was something like "doesn't affect me people are entitled to there opinions" http://nfl.si.com/2013/10/25/carolina-panthers-tampa-bay-buccaneers-greg-schiano-cam-newton/ Somebody asked recently in a discussion about firing him, is there somebody on the staff that could take over. Didn't I see Wannstedt on the sideline last night? (Looked it up, he is special teams coach.) He may not be great but has enough experience and knowledge to handle the job for the second half of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Butch Davis is there also, I am sure any Brown's fan knows who he is. Some Bears fans may disagree, but I'd take Wanny over Butch every time. Davis is a special advisor, maybe he's advising Schiano on how not to be a successful NFL HC.

Delicious_bass Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Player News saying Tampa Mike says he has a torn hammy and (if true) would likely be lost for the remainder. Not that he was doing much, anyway, but another blow to the Bucs if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
