Proehl could get the WR job

[Mr. Scot]

Asked on Twitter, Joe Person said "That's probably going to happen".

(works for me)

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

personally i think he's a lock to beat out murphy

[rscott94]

Works for me...

[TheRed]

Sold.

[carolina-chuck]

I forgot all about Proehl.

[TruCatzFan]

I didn't. I mentioned this weeks ago

[Guest Tom Cat]

Seems I heard Smitty at one point in the past mention Ricky was a mentor for him in his early days. Thats good enough for me.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

Everybody loves Ricky. Bucs fans still call him Ricky fuging Proehl.

[Future of the Funchise]

I'm down for this

[Lumps]

Sure...sounds good to me, maybe he can also play 3rd string

[Ivan The Awesome]

This is a sensible move if it happens.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I figured he would

[j2sgam]

I recall an article back in early 2004 that said Ricky was going to retire, but Smitty's wife called him & asked him to reconsider. Steve himself talked up how much Proehl helped his development... Absolutely bring him on board...

[Growl]

Love the guy. Met him at the Senior Bowl last year. Incredibly polite.

Also, he spent a ton of time with the other coaches (obviously.)

Just saying that because you typically get the idea that these former players who become coaches with their team's are pretty much around just because, but it was clear Ricky was involved with the coaching staff and becoming an NFL coach.

In other words, this move doesn't surprise me. It almost seems like its been an "in-the-works" type thing, and I do think it'd be a good move.
