Tampa Bay could be interested in Shula

[Jeremy Igo]

I didn't think Shula would get a head coach interview, but the Lovie Smith firing changed that.

The Bucs have two main objectives, get back to the winning ways of Tony Dungy, and develop Jameis Winston into a Cam Newton type of player.

Well, Shula was OC under Dungy in Tampa, and he also helped develop Cam from day one. Two birds, one stone.

The only thing that doesnt fit is that Shula was absolutely hated by the fans in Tampa at the time. But, that was 15 years ago. Maybe hearts have softened. 

Anyways, food for thought .

I hope he's smarter than to go to that dumpster fire of an organization.  TB and Clev should be off limits to any self respecting head coach prospect.  I know that there are only 32 of these jobs available, but I'd almost rather stay a coordinator than to subject myself to the heartache of working for those incompetent FO's.

49ers repeat? 

It was beyond idiotic for them to fire Lovie than unless there was major GM/Coach conflict which by Mr. Glazers statement it appears there was.

I agree with the talking heads, Coughlin should go to Clev and remodel that organization. Just give him the keys to the whole damn thing. 

Could be what TB is aiming for.

Shula family has strong ties to Florida. Tampa Bay has a young franchise QB in the making. One of the more attractive jobs this off season.

Fwiw, Shula doing well with Cam might not necessarily translate into him doing well with Winston.  Winston has a good arm, but is not as good a runner as Cam is. I don't really see them hiring Shula to help develop Winston. 

[Carolina Cajun]

The same Tampa Bay bucs that absolutely poo all over him?  He might get a shot with the Dolphins, but as for the bucs, I just don't see it happening.  All of that said, he's not going anywhere unless we lose in the divisional (not happening) because he's said no to interviews until after the season.

What Shula has done with Cam doesn't mean he will do it with Jameis. I would imagine how their season ends would determine whether he stays here or he goes. 

[SportsCrazie4172]

I see the Lovie Smith firing as a way to grab Chip Kelly..a mobile quarterback with Winston and a great running game as well with Doug Martin

Bring in Kelly to f*ck sh*t up even more..which this trainwreck could possibly be in the NFC South..or it might work..

[Mr. Scot]

I don't think they'll wait long enough to interview Shula.

[PantherPhann89]

Anything is possible. I was expecting our OC and DC to get some looks this off season and I wish them the best in whatever they decide...

it'll be Dirk Koetter

Probably, but he has drawn interest from Miami and Philly. He may not be there.

This would be weirder than The Comedian and Silk Spectre

the only reason for firing Lovie now is to keep Dirk

if they fail to get him (or he's misled them into thinking he'd want to stay as HC), this'll be nomination material for a Darwin award

and AWESOME
