Ironic that Brian Schotty leaves the Jets on the day his father Marty Schotty interviews with the Bucs. I think the Bucs give Wade Phillips a look then they make a final decision.

If they sign him I think that is good news… At least as far as the Glazers being dedicated to spend what it takes to win. You know Marty would want some cash to play around with if he took the job.

Wade Phillips or Spagnuolo as DC, Jerry Gray as OC, and Schottenheimer as HC.

Unstoppable.

Dick Vermeil and Marv Levy were coaching into their late 60′s/early 70′s too, with success. It’s not that farfetched of an idea.

Other candidates the Bucs have inquired about their coaching job, John McKay, Wayne Fontes, Allie Sherman, Les Steckle, Rich Kotite, Matt Millen, John Madden, Ted Marchova.

I as a life long Bucs fan would appreciate this hire but with Marty there would need to be a awesome Def Coordinator to go along with this hire

***

Spags and DelRio are available

If you think Marty is a horrible head coach, then (and your name supports this theory) you think football didn’t exist until the Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2001.

Didn’t Rex Ryan’s Jets beat the 14-2 Patriots last year in the playoffs?

Oh, the delicious irony…totally wasted on the ignorant Pats fan named patriotscheatingestteamever.

Others have said it (but that’s never stopped me before)

Ain’t crazy about the idea of Shotty, but compared to others that might be available I’d take ‘em in heartbeat. He’d bring D back to Tampa and cultivate a strong running game. At 68 though I see him as a transition coach to get the ship righted as we move onto bigger and better. Give him a couple of years, let him retire in style then we’ll get a longer term solution. NO Mike Sherman!!!!!

Great Coach, Charger fans are still mad A.J. let this guy go. Tampa will be satisfied if he gets hired.

I’m of the belief maybe Marty does belong in Tampa. Talk about a hard-luck soul: he puts together a decent run in Cleveland only to have Ol’ Horseface (John Elway) whizz all over it (you folks remember “The Drive”) Some time later he reappears and puts together a decent show and gets the Chargers all the way to the AFC championship game, only to lose then get fired.

OK – so he won a championship in the UFL – good. Maybe now the NF of L is ready for Marty Ball once again…….

It would be the best hire since Gruden and Dungy! He will take back homefield advantage in Tamp and whip the roster into shape. This organization needs a little Marty Ball!

We could do worse … and have! Not a lot of difference between Marty ball and Buc ball anyway.

@clintoprtiheadd & @eknirb

Chuck ” get off my lawn ” Noll and Hank Stram references ???

I think Mr Stram is deceased which may make him more desirable to the Glazers.

It would be a GREAT hire for Tampa if they land Schotty…

Just don’t take Brian with you and you will be fine.

Honestly, if Sanchez wasn’t so pi$$ poor every other week, the Jets may be playing yet at this point of the season, and all of the talk of Brian sucking so bad would be non-existent.

But I still agree.

Marty Ball In Tampa…guarantee regular season success…but a very bad playoff failure coaching experience..at least he’s a proven regular season success coach…

Everyone that keeps making statements about Brian Schotty joining his father in TB doesn’t understand that Brian will not be able to join the Bucs until after the jets postseason ends which will result in their third consecutive Lombardi as Rex has predicted.

“There’s a gleam men. A Gleam.”
This is a quote from Schottenheimer to his players that I saw on NFL Films. All the players looked around at each other thinking “what is this tool talking about.” He would be a horrible head coach. The Patriots beat his 14-2 Chargers in the last game he coached.

Ya can’t forget about the great Wade “Fat” Phillips.

HIRE MARTY NOW GLAZERS!!!!!

Folks….Marty is the man! Yes. he’s been snake bitten when it comes to the Super Bowl. But, players play and coaches coach.
In Cleveland he was a victim of, “The Drive,” and “The Fumble.” In San Diego he took them to a 14-2 record and received total disrespect from a desperate owner who is now paying the price for his desperation. Marty had the Skins going in the right direction.
Also, Marty has integrity. He’s known for being a man of family and team. He takes care of both on and off the field.
The fact that the Glazers are intelligent enough to consider Marty absolutely thrills me as a Buccaneer’s fan. If Marty comes to Tampa, the Buccaneers will indeed return to being a winning team!
PLEASE Glazers……BRING MARTY TO THE BUCCANEERS!
Marty’s experience in the league also likely means he will have access to bringing in a quality team of coaches.
