Tampa ain’t Dallas, just don’t let them get away then there’s no problem.

You know the Bucs will go cheap….I think Salary might dictate this heire…..(with little budget for a staff…)

Wade Phillips is the very very very most popular man in Houston right now (maaaaaaaybe second most popular to JJ Watt). He can do absolutely no wrong right now in Houston. Tampa is not as good a situation as San Diego, St. Louis, or Chicago would have been.

Tampa? My God, man, don’t do it!!!!

Wade Phillips is like the Norv Turner of DCs. Great coordinator, mediocre Head Coach.

WTH said Wade had the Cowboys best winning %. He does not! Believe it or not, Switzer does!

I am not a fan of Phillips as a HC, but to say we should not hire him because we don’t have the defensive personal to play a 3-4..Dakota Watson is a hybrid LB that plays end on 3rd down and Bowers has a smiliar body type to that of Mario Williams. Clayborn, Mccoy and Price on the nose would give us a great 3 man line. Not saying we should do it, but it would be interesting

Zimmer or Marty and I’m happy

Would take him as DC, but NOT as head coach. Some are great coordinators, but lousy head coaches.

The first two picks each of the last two years have been 4-3 defensive linemen; if they hire Wade, I will set all of my Bucs gear on a big fiery pile, and then jump on afterwards.

I think Joe Philbin would be a good one to interview. He’s an intellectual coach with a masters degree. Has done a very good job as offensive coordinator with the Packers.
If you prefer defense, I think Mike Zimmer would be a good interview. He has a league-wide reputation for being such a fine defensive coordinator. He prefers a 4-3 defense.
I don’t want Sherman, Phillips, or Childress.

All interviews aren’t necessarily to hire a coach. I have to believe some are fact finding missions. What a better way to get some thoughts on the team’s personnel and what Wade would do if he got the job than to interview one of the top 3-4 coordinators in the league. Glazers and Dominik can get into the heads of all sorts of different coaches before making a decision on the one they want running the team.

The Bucks are just stupid enough to make this happen.
This guy is not a leader of men….. He might know how to call a good defensive game, but has no shot at controlling a locker room

Oh HECK NO! Season ticket holder since 1978, I’m done if this is the “Goobers” answer for 2012.
Billick or Chip Kelly!

By: bigdawgy54

bigdawgy54 — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:41:56 +0000

I don’t want Phillips and am not thrilled with Sherman. Not thrilled with Childress either.
If I were forced to choose between the three….I would select Sherman. But again, I’d keep searching.

Funny he has highest win % in Dallas history. Got to the playoffs, won division twice. Then had a bad year cause his QB goes down, seems to me he can’t catch a break.

I was going to make fun, but just read my Dolphins are going to interview Mike Mularkey.

The Bucs need to spend their money and get either Brian Billick or Marty Schottenheimer if they want to win consistently.

Why is this soooo hard to understand???? Wade philips is a horrible HC!!! How many chances is it going to take for the entire league to figure this out??!! His old man was a goober too! Houston, u can have him, he’s a great DC, and imo, right where he needs to be. If the glazers hire him, childress, or sherman u can kiss a lot of season ticket holders(all 8 of them) goodbye. I for one will not watch a game. A cruel joke for those of us striving to see this team get back on track.

I could be wrong but I believe the NFL rule is that they can’t come to him to interview. He is allowed to go to them.
Please TB offer Wade the HC job on the spot. Then he can’t enter the craziness in Miami. Did I say Please. Thank You.

When Phillips came to Dallas, he was supposed to take Parcells’s 3-4 defense and make it more aggressive. He had never won a playoff game before coming to Dallas. It was Tony Romo and the offense that carried them to a 13-3 record, and Wade Phillips’s D that let them down in the playoffs. And when Romo got hurt, it was Phillips’s defense that quit on him.

Nothing like hiring a 66 year old with health issues.

Go check his record as head coach, great first year, so-so second year and fired the third year. Only with the Cowboys did he last one more year longer.

Isn’t that puff-ball STILL on a team that’s advancing in the playoffs? Weird. How does this kind of dysfunction occur?

As a Bucs fan all I can say is that there isn’t a lot to be excited about with the direction of this team. Certainly not enough to pry open my wallet to attend games next season.

Go ahead Glazers, give me a reason to support the Bucs again. I dare you! You cheap ______.

Is there a clause in the Rooney rule that says you have to interview a hillbilly also?

By: Richard Dickson

And really, let’s get the Bucs INTO the playoffs on a regular basis before we start complaining about how our potential coaches did there.
