JoeBucsFan.com has an intriguing take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' coaching situation that will spark curiosity and debate among NFL fans.
Could the Bucs be eyeing a new defensive coordinator? Joe's dream scenario involves the Bucs bringing in a top defensive mind, but there's a twist! After learning that Jim Schwartz, the highly respected Browns defensive coordinator, abruptly left the Browns due to a coaching change, Joe wondered if the Bucs might pursue him. However, this idea seems far-fetched as current Bucs coach Todd Bowles intends to remain in charge of the defense.
But here's where it gets interesting: the Bucs have reportedly reached out to Sean McDermott, the recently fired Bills coach, about an unspecified role. McDermott, who might prefer a year off according to rumors, is an intriguing prospect. This leads to a burning question: Why consider McDermott but not Schwartz?
Joe argues that McDermott and Schwartz are not on the same level. While McDermott is a capable coach, his reputation might be marred by a crucial 2021 AFC divisional game where his Bills defense couldn't hold a 3-point lead with 13 seconds left, eventually losing in overtime. This incident could haunt McDermott's career, making him a less appealing candidate than Schwartz in Joe's eyes.
And this is the part most fans might miss: the Bucs' interest in McDermott may indicate a desire for a fresh perspective on defense, even if it's not as the head coordinator. It's a controversial move, especially considering McDermott's recent struggles. So, are the Bucs onto something, or is this a risky gamble?
What do you think, football enthusiasts? Is McDermott worth the risk, or should the Bucs stick with their current defensive leadership? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
