Want Shula gone? Don't look for Rivera to do it...

What do they say about history again?

The Bucs did not score a touchdown in an 11-6 loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion Rams in the NFC title game Jan. 23 -- the fifth game in which they failed to reach the end zone last season.

Earlier Wednesday, Dungy said he hoped the impasse he, general manager Rich McKay and ownership had reached could be resolved and his entire staff would be signed for the 2000 season.

"That would be my hope, but it's out of my hands," Dungy said. "Truly out of my hands."

After a conference call involving Dungy, Bucs vice presidents Brian and Joel Glazer and McKay Wednesday evening, Dungy notified Shula that he would not be given a new contract. Apparently, ownership and McKay insisted Shula not return next season

Dungy was just too nice

 

Rivera is just too stupid

[TheRumGone]

Well I think DG has the stones to do it

If Pete and Repeat were sitting on a log and Pete fell off who was left on?

Rivera doesn't have the balls to do it. It's the reason they indicated today that there will be no staff changes. If this offense and team continues to not make any progress at the end of the season Rivera needs to be let go and the rest of his incompetent staff. I think the writing is on the wall and Rivera is to naive to see it. So if things don't change ASAP him and his riverboat will sink.

Fans of John Ramsdell would say that's actually true.

Keep stirring the pot Zod, but yes I have to agree, interesting tid bit.

Rivera is sinking ANY chance he has of being retained by not changing anything IMO. I was told even the TV announcers were bashing on Shula for those stupid ass 3rd down plays

[Ace_Aladdin]

He is acting like he does t give a poo about his job.

[Pimpdaddy]

..Article pretty much states what we are witnessing...

Dungy was soooo lucky to fall into Peyton Manning's lap

If it weren't for that he'd be in the same echelon as Marty Schottenheimer

Shula, in the NFL is a made man. Only Gettleshorts or JR do this.

Dave Gettleman would fire a 3rd grader for coloring outside of the lines.
