Tedford is the OC. Finalizing Frazier as the DC.

Marinelli is the DC.

May be right. I may have outdated info. Lovie didn't think the Cowboys would let him go at first.

So Lovie has landed in TB, for a bad team with a bunch of younger players.

Lovie needs to decide on his DC and OC. I am sure he has some in mind.

My favorite part is that they dont have a GM yet. lol

Bucs get better next year and the year after, year 3 & 4 they contend for a wildcard, everyone sees the organization on the upswing, but still not top 10. They will exercise the option for year 5 new GM will fight with Loovie in Power Struggle, then give him a 3 years deal after contemplating firing him. After 7 years, they will finally fire him after 1 playoff appearance and some 7-9,8-8 and 9-7 years. Vintage Lovie

The vintage Lovie is the one whose defense never collapsed the way this year's did, and the one whose defense most likely would have made a difference between winning the division or going home this year.

You think Lovie could have saved this aging defense this year with the number of key injuries they had? That's what a fool believes, Loggins!

It seemed to me Lovie made chicken salad out of chicken shit more times than not (rosters were weak) but it was time for a change,that simple.

There will always be stupid team owners willing to throw millions at mediocrity. Just look what the Bears did today.

Can you please remind me of the last time the Bears went to the super bowl, what coach led them there, and whether or not that kind of development is constitutive of mediocrity.

Lovie could be 2014's Andy Reid.

i can see that.

TB was a better team than their 4-12 record suggests. They had the Jets beat in week 1 until a stupid out of bound penalty put the Jets in FG range with little time left. They played the Saints and even the Seahawks @Seattle tough (2 and 3 point losses respectively) and beat the Lions in Detroit back when the Lions still looked like a playoff contender. And they have a relatively easy schedule next season. Lovie could be 2014's Andy Reid. Wonder if they'll go QB with the 7th overall pick in the draft.

No that's not vintage Lovie. His teams routinely competed for best rated defense more years than not. Despite mediocre offensive talent throughout his tenure, none of whom went on to flourish with other teams (as evidence of their mediocrity and ineptness), he still managed to drag the Bears to a super bowl and another championship game.

I don't know what about Lovie blinds guys to the fact that he was the best Bears coach the city has had since the '80s, and that he left very large shoes for Trestman to fill. Rather, the vintage Lovie is the one whose defense never collapsed the way this year's did, and the one whose defense most likely would have made a difference between winning the division or going home this year.

I have higher expectations. The Bears missed the playoffs in 5 of Lovies last 6 years & he had a winning record in just 5 of his 9 seasons. That doesn't even qualify as mediocre. Why any NFL team would pay this guy $5 million is beyond me.

That record is probably comparable to tier two level coaches like Reid and John Harbaugh. Also while we're talking about mediocrity, did you want to rethink your satisfaction with the Bears' collapse this season at 8-8, while a first year coach like Chip Kelly is enjoying his view from the playoffs despite having a less talented squad than the Bears?

In who's world is John Harbaugh a Tier 2 coach? Does the top tier only have one coach on it?
