He (and everyone else on TV) picks a few points, hounds them hard, and everyone (read: dumbasses) thinking he is a genius. The only guy who appears to pick stuff out of the game is Collinsworth, and he's a large market sword swallower anyway, so it doesn't matter.

I'd have been done. If they'd have hired Cowher or Gruden, I'd have had to throw in the towel and resign myself to the fact that the organization is full of bumbling idiots that if they ever fell ass backwards into a win, it would be by sheer, blind luck.

Hiring a guy years out of football is a ****ing joke. Why do you think guys take coordinator positions after getting shitcanned?



What people don't remember is he won that Super Bowl early with that crazy good DL, and then did ****all. Everyone presumed he was good because he won a Super Bowl, but there were a LOT of years of bad ball being played in Tampa that he got a pass for because he was supposed to be some kind of prodigy. He was lucky.



Didn't they get Simms (Sims? I don't know how the hell to spell it) while he was there? I don't remember.

We (The Buccaneers) had HOFers at all 3 levels of the defense.
