Rod Marinelli IS the worst coach in the NFL.

It started with Sam Wyche bringing in quality players. Rich McKay and Tony Dungy bringing in more talent on top of that. Then when the players hit there peak with key FA pickups to fill the holes, we win a SuperBowl with Jon Gruden.

Coaches direct the players in the right direction but the players have to execute.

We have talent on this team and I do feel that this coaching staff is subpar. With that said, A lot of changes need to be made but firing the coaching staff right now will not help anything. We are in a growing process that wil take years to fix.

If the Glazers want to be competitive again, we will have a new staff and new players in a couple of years. No Quick fixes any time soon.

We go 0-16 and remain uncompetitve. Then yes, everyone needs to be fired. If we go 0-16 and improvements are apparent, then Raheem Morris needs to stay and grow with the proper coaching staff and proper players.

Tony Dungy is the worst coach ever, we should have gotten Jimmy Johnson or Steve Spurrier. We need to fire those kmart assistant coaches Lovie Smith, Herm Edwards, Rod Marinelli, ….

The Bucs did NOT save money by firing Jon Gruden and paying him 3 million a year ON TOP OF Bruce Allen’s salary, to sit down on MNF, AND pay a head coach too. The cheap way would have been to simply leave Gruden in charge, and have a bunch more 9-7 seasons with an occasional 6-10 and an 11-5 when we play a soft schedule.

This is only a 4 game losing streak on a team that has had 0 losing seasons in the last 2 years. Be patient, be thankful you dont have to sit through 14 losing seasons like some of us did.

If he truely is a bad coach, the Glazers are commited to putting a winner on the field, and if they can fire a coach who won them a Superbowl, and fire a coach that completely turned the franchise around, they can fire Raheem too.

Thanks for the FanPost…although taking a few more seconds and formatting it properly would have given it more of an impact instead of sounding like your just peeved as if its 2 minutes after watching the game.

Everyone has had a hand in this, including Gruden and Allen. To blame just Leftwich or just Morris is insane.

and martymar…. please continue to stick around and read the articles, educate yourselves and properly assess the situation.

“It’s my opinion” isn’t a free pass to spew retarded crap.

I can say “Mike Vick is a better quarterback than Tom Brady.” Nobody agrees with that, but if I say “in my opinion” I’m still going to be told how much of a moron I am, right? There’s a place for opinion, but it’s not an invite to say anything you want and get away with it by not using some facts.

Can you make your name shorter?? man that is tough typing out!!!! JK of course.

I Think this is an excellent chance for me to butt in and express how I want this site to run.

1) This site is useless if you, the reader, are not allowed/free/feel comfortable to create a fanpost and speak your mind and/or tell us how you feel about an issue.
2) Its equally as useless if people cannot feel free/ comfortable to post WHATEVER comments they want to based on THEIR opinion.

Seems to me, UNFNOLE’s opinion, is that your opinion on Morris is based on not knowing that many points of view, and that you should read articles on here because we come at the situation from different angles. He did not call you a name, nor did he say it rudely with slurs or vulgar words. If you want the freedom to post anything you want to, you need to be prepared for the guy who is going to totally disagree with you 100%, and may even on occasion call you out to explain your opinion with more detail…

On this site, you are free to have ANY opinion in the world you want to…as long as you can BACK IT UP with an explanation. A STAT is not required. However, like the above relates to, Tom Brady is better than Terry Bradshaw is an opinion. Terry Bradshaw has more Superbowl titles that Tom Brady is a fact. The latter can support the prior, by using superbowl wins as one possible criteria for “better than”, but in that case someone has backed up what they said, with an explanation/fact, not necessarily a stat.

So far, Id like to say that for 60+ comments, all of which are aimed at each other, this has been kept quite civil, and every single person in this thread deserves a freaking medal for not letting this get out of control.

BFLII-(thats bucfanlostiniowa shortened LOL!)- you may be correct that there may have been, at times, an aura of ‘better than you-ness’ that you describe. In much as I just used a word that does not belong in one single version of Websters, I can promise that wont happen on here anymore as long as I can help it.

Thanks to everyone for posting and keeping it , well, sort of civil!!!

I may not agree with what you have to say, I but I will defend to the death your right to say it…

I actually really like this post and how it has gone, but Im afraid the fact that some people are coming in 3 days later and responding to situations that have already been resolved, that its going to re-arm this powder-keg!

Unfortunately, I do that myself sometimes, I find a good post, but a few days too late, and then I put my .02 cents in!
So im going to close comments for this post, as everything we are talking about in here can easily lead out into another post somewhere…..
