Schiano: “We’ll Win Our Share. Don’t worry.”
October 23rd, 2013
Embattled Bucs commander Greg Schiano was on the NFL Network airwaves this morning fielding the tough questions.
Schiano didn’t bite on queries about Josh Freeman and his ugly showing on Monday Night Football, and Schiano insisted he’ll get the “worm to turn” with the Bucs and put up wins.
Asked about his job security if he can’t win games, Schiano gave a brief reply, “We’ll win our share. “Don’t worry.” (Here’s the video)
Schiano also went on to say his locker room is in great shape, thanks to leaders Gerald McCoy, Darrelle Revis, Dashon Goldson, Vincent Jackson and Davin Joseph.

So sick of hearing this coach. Last week was a good time as any to get a win. You failed. You failed hard. And I seriously doubt this team is going to recover from that catastrophe.
I just don’t see how any of the players can still be buying into and be confident with this guy when they can’t even compete with a team that was playing there bench players pretty much everywhere. Absolutely horrible.
October 23rd, 2013 at 10:50 am
Don’t worry. My claim is based on absolutely no evidence and I can’t say specifically what we’re doing differently now or why I think we’ll win but don’t worry. They’re coming. You just rest your little head ticket holders. Just keep spending your money and I’m gonna make this thing happen yet

When? As soon as Schiano is gone, that’s when.

it is amazing that after 1 win in the last 11 the locker room is still working hard and fighting. It shows the players have guts and character. They are working their butts off but SCHEMATICALLY the Bucs lose. Lavante is friggin everywhere out there. I will purchase his jersey. After this season the Bucs Organization needs to find a coach/staff to lead these men to the post season. No more excuses.

and if you have to tell me not to worry…. i’m worried
October 23rd, 2013 at 11:15 am
Don’t worry? I think the situation is past the point of worry.
October 23rd, 2013 at 11:18 am
Anybody remember the panthers game a few years ago where they beat us so badly it seemed to affect us for a couple years later? Yea. Sadly, I’m expecting something like that tomorrow.
Hard times have fallen on Buc fans.

I’m hoping #1 doesn’t embarrass us in our house…. hope in one hand and

Couch,
That game was a little different. They’d got the gut punch of Monte leaving and it killed team morale, especially on the defense. Went from 9-3 and 1st place in the divison to 9-7, no playoffs, Brooks unceremoniously cut, Gruden fired, the Freeman experiment, and a 5 year(and counting) rebuild.

“I just don’t see how any of the players can still be buying into and be confident with this guy…”
The players know something we fans do not. They still believe for a reason. You can’t see it, maybe, but there is reason. Truthfully I’m having trouble seeing it as well.
But so long as the players are not quitting on him I’m not.
Really, discounting the lack of wins (which is certainly huge), most of the issues are media-driven.
I honestly…truly honestly…believe that Sullivan is the issue on offense. I like the guy a lot, but he’s calling the majority of the plays. It is his job to get his offense ready. The head coach gets the blame from the fans, but really it is the OC that is responsible. It’s Sully’s playbook.
Remember the first game? When the headset was not working? The entire offense was thrown out of whack. Who gathered the offensive coaches together on the sideline and got things (somewhat) under control? Sullivan.
It’s clear that he is running things on that side of the ball. Maybe it’s because there was talk of teams offering him a head coaching job last year (wishing now he had gotten an offer) and they wanted him to have a little control to keep him here. I don’t know.
But it’s clear to me that Sullivan is the issue with the offense. It’s his job to come up with ways to fix things. He’s the one developing the stunts. He’s the one calling running plays on first. He’s the one.

I’m with you k1ngadroc.

Also, when things looked good for the offense it was the “giant’s offense”. Now that it looks bad, it is suddenly the “Rutger’s offense.”
The conspiracy theorists (okay, sometimes I’m one), might think that Sullivan is doing his best to get Schiano fired so he can get his job.
October 23rd, 2013 at 11:45 am
I imagine the Browns fans felt the same way about Bill in the past.

Between this clown and Raheem, its pretty sad how far this franchise has fallen. We’ve got the place scrubbed for MRSA several times. Can someone check the head coach’s office for some sort of hallucinogen being piped through the vents?
What is wrong with these people??!?!?!?!?!

@Bonzai
I agree that the offensive struggles faults are due to Sully. The penalties on the offensive line is the biggest problem in my opinion. I’m not sure who you would put blame on for that, maybe a mix of Schiano/Sully/Bostad? Lol. But yes the only thing im concerned with is wins and losses and this team just doesn’t look like it can be anybody. I see regression. We went from being competitive against good teams to being uncompetitive against bad teams.
October 23rd, 2013 at 12:11 pm
Eh, I think i’ll still worry. You haven’t given us a reason not to yet coach.
October 23rd, 2013 at 12:12 pm
beat anybody*
October 23rd, 2013 at 12:15 pm
And the worst part of it is, the QB play from the rookie is better than what we previously had. Sounds almost impossible to be regressing with better Qb play. But it appears that way.
October 23rd, 2013 at 1:17 pm
I hated the lack of honor in the Raheem frathouse, so I have been pulling for Schiano. But telling fans that they won’t be able to understand things, and telling them don’t worry, and rushing kneeldowns, Schi is losing even me.
October 23rd, 2013 at 1:34 pm
@couch – that is because teams/players are getting better in successful schemes…. Bucs are having decent individual improvement i.e. Gerald, David and even Glennon. But lose games in many different ways.
I’m a fan on Glennon to be successful (as a backup QB in the NFL). He can win a few for a team but wont carry a team week in and week out IMO. He’s got his chance now and I hope he proves me wrong.
October 23rd, 2013 at 1:46 pm
Thanks coach!! I was really worried, but now I feel allllll better!
Bad enough that they are so bad, they humiliate the fans!
Do they have to be patronizing, to add insult to injury??
Lavonte David is amazing. He’s the only thing keeping some of us from switching from whiskey to Drain-o, during these unprofessional fiascos Schiano keeps rolling out.
October 23rd, 2013 at 2:28 pm
He can’t even get the men to line up correctly or get a play in. What makes anyone think he can actually coach a team to a win. The players are playing out of pride true, self pride and pride in each other. I saw coach get in a players face on the side line and the look of pure disdain and apathy was a monumental tell.
October 23rd, 2013 at 2:50 pm
How is it Sullivan fault when the genius HC said it himself that if he didnt like the play that is called he would change it. So Sullivan has to come up with a gameplan that the coach agree with on everyplay, u know since Schiano was and is a great OC as well… Championship. ..
October 23rd, 2013 at 3:12 pm
I hope he meant win the coin flip between the Bucs & Jax for the # 1 pick in 2014.
October 23rd, 2013 at 3:21 pm
This Schiano guy obviously lives in a bubble wherein all he can see is Rainbows and Leprechauns. It’s amazing to hear some of the things that come from his mouth…
October 23rd, 2013 at 3:52 pm
bucs will get their 1st win thurs. night.
October 23rd, 2013 at 4:07 pm
What does a win now even matter it doesn’t and its not going to happen thursday night panthers defence will come to play and gleenen will have a bad night
October 23rd, 2013 at 5:16 pm
Even if we win 10 in a row we won’t win this division. It’s a sad, sad state of affairs indeed. Our only win will probably come against Buffalo.
October 23rd, 2013 at 8:33 pm
I don’t know about you guys, but that makes me feel so much better. I was concerned we weren’t going to win, but by Schiano saying we will, I feel more confident. What a relief!!!
