“Whether You Intend To Or Not …”
January 30th, 2015
So how will new Tampa Bay quarterbacks coach Mike Bajakian drill and guide the mind and body of Jameis Winston a shiny new Buccaneers rookie quarterback?
Joe’s got some insight.
Buccaneers.com, (likely Mighty Joe Kania, the second hardest working man on the Internet) posted a video of Bajakian coaching offense and quarterbacks at his old job, offensive coordinator at the University of Tennessee.
It’s some good stuff. You can hear and feel the North Jersey oozing out of Bajakian, who grew up down the road from Greg Schiano’s old neighborhood.
If you can’t watch the whole video, catch the last 20 seconds or so. Bajakian firmly lectures his quarterbacks on carrying themselves and how they will influence those around them, “whether you intend to or not.”
It sure seems like a rookie QB is going to have a firm hand on him.
January 30th, 2015 at 2:36 pm
Oh wow, Joe has Winston’s name crossed out. Looks like reality may be setting in
January 30th, 2015 at 2:44 pm
yep, yep…….jameis is on the outs
January 30th, 2015 at 2:49 pm
Regardless of who we take with the #1 I feel like this QB coach plus the OC will be able to work well with any QB we have.
January 30th, 2015 at 2:51 pm
Can’t wait for him to become the Bucs HC !
January 30th, 2015 at 2:55 pm
LMAO @ JOE. Its cute seeing him trying as hard as he can for Tampa to get (BUST) Wisnton

I posted this before…..but for those who didn’t see it.
I am visiting a nephew in Charleston who is a huge Tenn/Vols fan……more than I am a Bucs fan and that’s saying something.
He said Bajakian was absolutely brought in to coach Mariota…..
For what little that’s worth….
January 30th, 2015 at 3:07 pm
@TBBF
Let’s hope so. If the Bucs do take a QB, I would rather it be Mariota than Turd Winston
January 30th, 2015 at 3:07 pm
I cannot imagine how Jose thinks the Rapist Winston will work out in this market? Lovie can’t coach the players he has clearly with six (6) Bucs players given away to the two teams playing in the Super Bowl. The only think Lovie is less talented at than coaching is player evaluating and game clock management. Lovie could not find his but with both hands in the dark, even if someone pulled the Big Poodles lips off his butt!
Bryce Petty would be an even better option….trade the #1 pick and get value players because until Team Glazer fires this entire coaching staff, it is merely groundhog day with the same marshmellow defense and the same no imagination offense.

@bucsfan4lyf
agreed, it’s like deja vu seeing Joe make a fool of himself over an overhyped turnover-prone underclassman QB who played behind an elite OL throwing the ball up for grabs to a big NFL WR (in 2013).
What is the definition of insanity again? Ole stubborn Joe is doomed to make the same mistakes again and again. It’s quite fun to observe.
BUT surely Adam Schefter is wrong, cause his job requires him to be wrong about reporting on the NFL, right Joe?

——————————————————–
Your over thinking things. Adam Schefter could be wrong simply because he’s been wrong many times before. Just like everybody else has been wrong many times before.
January 30th, 2015 at 3:24 pm
Couch Fan…let them have their fun for now.
January 30th, 2015 at 3:26 pm
Will be nice to have an experienced coach working with Mariota.
January 30th, 2015 at 3:27 pm
Wow do Winston and Lovie haters take over every thread these days or what?
Thanks for posting the Bajakian coaching video Joe – Good stuff.
January 30th, 2015 at 3:31 pm
Damn nice video Joe. I like this guy already.
January 30th, 2015 at 3:37 pm
Nice little video. Let’s hope Lovie lets him use that. Don’t want to upset anyone.
January 30th, 2015 at 3:39 pm
@ Pickgrin
Not all the Lovie or Winston haters, just devoted Bucs fans who want the best for team they love and know that Winston is NOT IT
January 30th, 2015 at 3:46 pm
Nice neutral comment, Joe:
carrying themselves and how they will influence those around them, “whether you intend to or not.”
also means the young people looking up to you in the community as a leader of young men
January 30th, 2015 at 3:55 pm
If you want the best for your team, one would assume that you want the Bucs to draft the best QB. Not much to be said after that because most of you Mariota fanboys think that “good guy” == “good QB” and nothing could be further from the truth.
January 30th, 2015 at 3:59 pm
Pickgrin, the answer to your question is because those people ar so filled with hate and hate, as any rational person will tell you, blinds people from reality and facts.
I’m not a fan of Winston’s, but I consider myself a good American. So if you haven’t been charged with a crime andl have also been exonerated by not one, but two official inquiries, then it’s time to move on.
For the record, I don’t want either QB, I want Nick Foles and some high draft picks. Foles is a proven NFL winning All Pro QB. He’s ready to step in and do the job which means I don’t have to suffer through another guaranteed two losing seasons with a rookie QB.
January 30th, 2015 at 4:00 pm
Luther… ya know what’s funny is most of the fanboys talk about Winston as if he doesn’t even belong in the first round let alone first pick. As if he doesn’t deserve to be there. Yet analyst after analyst can tell them different it still doesn’t matter.
Jesus Christ himself could tell them different and it still wouldn’t matter.
I think they are in for a rude awakening watching Mariota slide in the draft.
January 30th, 2015 at 4:01 pm
Gee Joe, I hate to read statements that contain libel and slander like Greg Schiano’s where he calls Winston, “Rapist Winston.”
You are responsible for what is printed on this blog.
January 30th, 2015 at 4:02 pm
@Greg Schiano
everytime you post you sound really ignorant and angry maybe you are greg schiano because that would make complete sense….lots of us don’t like what lovie has done in ONE season but i can’t even see you being a linebackers coach in the future and what college on this planet would trust you with their kids after seeing your childish ways on the big stage. maybe you’ll get hired wherever Winston goes so you both have someone to yell at
January 30th, 2015 at 4:04 pm
Make sure you stretch first. That’s some serious reaching you’re doing there.
Oh, look. Another “fan” that would rather see us fail before we succeed.
Its almost as cute as you wanting Mariota here so badly.
You know, if you purchase a domain name and some hosting, you could write some articles about him too….
And if they do pick Winston, are you going to stop being a fan of the team or are you just going to complain each and every week…
I didn’t give the option of supporting him, cause its clear that isn’t one of your options.
That’s where i stopped reading. What has he been convicted for?
And what makes you guys think its SO funny to pretend to be someone you’re not?
Be careful Couch…
You might start making too much sense to some people.
Simple answer? yes.
would you also mind giving me the winning lotto number for the next Powerball drawing?…
…since you clearly have a crystal ball you’re hiding somewhere.
January 30th, 2015 at 4:06 pm
So interesting that there are so many varied opinions on here. Some want Mariota, some want Winston, some want Williams, some want to trade down, some want Glennon and some want Foles. I’m really shocked that there isn’t somebody on here banging the drum for RG3

@ Celly
Nice try, but no cigar
January 30th, 2015 at 4:11 pm
I just saw that this guy was on Lovie’s staff in Chicago from 2004-2006. Helped coach up Orton and Grossman. Although in 2004, Chicago started 4 different QBs; Hutchinson(5games), Krenzel(5games), Quinn(3games), and Orton(3games).
January 30th, 2015 at 4:17 pm
Celly,
The Bucs will trade back, or take Leonard Williams.
I believe trading back for a king’s ranson is the way to go.
Queue your incessant bashing of a likely possibility.
If you’re so damn smart, WTH are the Bucs doing with the top pick.
January 30th, 2015 at 4:17 pm
RG3 is damaged goods. Besides he was never accurate anyways. Which brings me to the point of people begging for Manziel, yet here have a bigger, stronger, faster, more accurate version of him and nobody wants him. To funny.
January 30th, 2015 at 4:26 pm
No to RG3. Not sold on Nick Foles either.
January 30th, 2015 at 4:26 pm
I think Joe’s crossing out has a meaning exactly the opposite of what you think.
Go Jaboo.
Or Marcus
Both are super talented and will be a huge upgrade.
Don’t worry, be happy.
January 30th, 2015 at 4:30 pm
Not sure the point you’re trying to make there, but that’s fine. I don’t keep the tobacco in my cigars anyway…
I don’t bash anyone’s “likely possibility”. Guess what? ANYTHING is possible. You know why? Cause NONE of us on this board are in any of the meetings going on inside OBP, so NONE of us know what is possible.
With that being said, I don’t know what the Bucs will do with the top pick, but i also don’t come on here claiming to know what the Bucs will do.
I would like the Bucs to pick Winston because I feel he gives us the best chance to succeed immediately.
Unlike some “fans” who want us to take Mariota and then pray that Lovie gets fired, I’d rather have a team that doesn’t go through constant coaching change.
I also don’t come on here and say, “If they don’t pick Winston, I’m done with the franchise”. I want Winston, but guess what? If they take Mariota, I’ll be the first one yelling “Go Super Mario-ta”. If they go with neither and start Glennon, I’ll be yelling “Go Giraffe”.
That’s the point i’m trying to make. There are so many people on here spewing out what they believe to be gospel when in actuality, NO ONE knows what is going to happen short of Lovie, Licht and the Glazers. To pretend otherwise is pointless and a waste of time.
With that being said, if i were to put my money on something, it would be that the Bucs will have at least 2 selections in the first round. Given how the rookie wage scale now works, it only makes sense for the Bucs to trade up to say, 29-32 to take a guy they had rated highly that slipped towards the end of the 1st. Might as well get that 5th year option on a guy you want.
January 30th, 2015 at 4:34 pm
Celly…Lovie as HC….change is inevitable….Lovie is simply mediocre as a head coach

I’m just praying that Koetter does go on medical leave.
January 30th, 2015 at 5:05 pm
it is funny how the bucs seems to swing from extreme to extreme with coaches. raheem morris with no dc/hc experience in nfl (expected to be the next mike tomlin) to greg schiano who was a college headcoach (after chip the dip lied and cried) to lovie smith with nfl hc experience (though i wasn’t sold on this choice with his poor record vs teams with winning records and no offense). also interesting that all 3 are defensive minded coaches…when we need offense (though early freeman years were nice).
i believe tedford was going to work out and was an interesting gamble, but koetter is a good get. and the qb coach has oc experience and worked with qb’s before.

I with ya 100%, but with my twist of course. If they take neither QB and either of those 2 go onto shine in the NFL while we still suck, THEN, then I MIGHT be done with this team unless I see progress.
I ran into a guy wearing a Buc hat about 6 months ago. I said hey you’re a Bucs fan. He said he used to be for 15 years, told me about 10 seasons of season tickets and the whole nine yards. Then he said I just couldn’t deal with all the BS moves anymore. I said well you’re wearing a hat, he said it’s his lucky fishing hat and nothing more.
So there is people out there that abandoned this team. I won’t be the only out there doing so.
January 30th, 2015 at 5:17 pm
Winstonites are confirming what the Gators fans say, there are no academic standards at FSU! You all make no sense and say things that are so stupid, I can’t believe you actually believe what you say is true.
How many college kids lie, steal, vandalize and are accused of rape from more than one person all before their Junior year? ONE! Shameis!
January 30th, 2015 at 5:19 pm
There is no excuse to abandon the team. None. This team has been a losing franchise for the majority of its existance. Another bad draft pick shouldn’t cause anyone to leave, its silly and quite frankly it questions how loyal you really ever were. But thats just my 2 cents.
January 30th, 2015 at 5:33 pm
Ernest T. Bass …Winston got excepted to Stanford.
You were saying?
January 30th, 2015 at 5:44 pm
@ Lurker
I agree. Morris was thrown into a position that he was in no way for, but I think after he gets some more experience that he will make a very good D-Cord and then head coach again some day.
But yep, 3 straight defensive minded coaches in a row. The last time Bucs had an offensive minded coach they won the Superbowl
January 30th, 2015 at 5:46 pm
@87
“accepted to Stanford”……but I catch your meaning….
January 30th, 2015 at 5:59 pm
TBBF…eh my kid was bugging me at the time.lol
January 30th, 2015 at 6:03 pm
@ 87
If Winston would have done the same things at Stanford that he’s done at FSU he would have been quickly expelled
January 30th, 2015 at 6:22 pm
@ Couch Fan
Of ALL the things we disagree on, THIS (fan loyalty) is one that we agree 100%.
I have been a Buccaneer fan since Tampa was awarded the franchise, and will not ‘abandon’ them just because they make (IMO) some foolish moves. I may (will) complain when my genius overshadows their mediocrity, but I will still cheer them to win every week.
January 30th, 2015 at 6:41 pm
@Hawk
Agree completely.
January 30th, 2015 at 6:52 pm
@couch
i remember good ole bucco bruce…but there are some out there that probably only know the re-branded glazer bucs. maybe the losing bucs is new to them.
January 30th, 2015 at 6:59 pm
I remember those days well and do not ever want to go back to them Lol.
January 30th, 2015 at 7:01 pm
going through the culverhouse era makes me appreciate the glazers. i truly believe they want a winning team. i just think some decisions they make might be rash…though it worked with gruden (for a while, until he personalitied himself out of here).
January 30th, 2015 at 7:05 pm
Believe me their have been a lot of jackasses accepted to Stanford
January 30th, 2015 at 7:10 pm
I stopped reading when I saw Jameis Winston crossed out.
January 30th, 2015 at 7:11 pm
I actually do agree with all of that. I’ve been a die hard Bucs fan since the very beginning and not stopping now. I remember going to those games in the first two years before the Bucs got their first win, and man was it ugly. I’ve seen all the coaches and players come and go, seen great draft picks and horrible ones, and have seen everything from 0-26 to a Superbowl win. So when I hear people talk about jumping ship just because something in the draft might upset them, I say go ahead, go support the Fins or the Jags and see how much fun that is. I was on a couple of the Bucs message boards and facebook page and reading the comments from all of these “dedicated Bucs fans” saying that if the Bucs drafted Winston that they would not renew their season tickets or not go to another game and I was like “What in the hell is wrong with you people? I’m not a Winston fan either, but I’m sure not jumping ship because I don’t agree with another draft pick. We come on here and voice our opinions and debate each other and get on each other but it’s all in good fun. But if you take it that seriously and get butthurt that easily then go, get out of here, because we real Bucs fans will not miss you. We may still be debating and agreeing or not agreeing, but we will still be here
January 30th, 2015 at 7:13 pm
Nope…I caught the tail end of Culverhouse. From 87 on the Vinny-Ray Perkins days.
January 30th, 2015 at 7:13 pm
Bajakian could be a good in house replacement for Koetter, if Koetter decides to take a HC gig somewhere. Of course this is assuming the Bucs turn things around and Koetter becomes a hot commodity.
January 30th, 2015 at 7:18 pm
I’m not jumping ship…there’s stipulations behind it.
Believe me it will be damn hard to watch Mariota and Winston light up the field for other teams while ours still sucks. So yes I would be at a tipping point.
I’m talking 3-5 years from now. So I have a long way to reach that point.
Then again if they pass on Winston and Mariota, and both of them are busts while we still suck. I’ll stick around.
Lots of stipulations involved.
January 30th, 2015 at 7:23 pm
I might watch a game here and there at that point, but I definitely will stop caring about them as much as I do.
I guess someday I might be a closet Bucs fan. Meaning not really care anymore, but still follow what they are doing.
I probably won’t find another team. I’ll just stop caring about the one I love. Because if they screw this up, I won’t be a sucker anymore. I leave that for the rest of you.
January 30th, 2015 at 7:24 pm
87…did you see my link 4:06 PM on this thread ?….you’ll sheet…….
January 30th, 2015 at 7:31 pm
JoeJoe…who the hell is Tyler?
I guess I better make up a draft site too. That might give me credibility.
Actually no it won’t.
Now would you like me to give all the other mock draft links where they say the Bucs are taking Winston? Probably not.
January 30th, 2015 at 7:40 pm
we all just want the buccaneers to win! turn that friggin corner. i think we all got gut-punched when we got worse from 4-12 with all the moves supposedly to get us better. i think lovie gets 2-3 years, especially if he drafts a qb with #1.
January 30th, 2015 at 7:47 pm
I was gut punched watching the home opener…..I was so excited about 2014…..then the unspeakable
January 30th, 2015 at 7:52 pm
those blowout games were scary as hell. as was losing to backup and 3rd string qb’s.
January 30th, 2015 at 8:03 pm
So, early in the season when Atlanta was running up and down the field and was scoring at will, who else felt like throwing their adult beverage at the TV?
January 30th, 2015 at 8:05 pm
inexcusable !!!!
January 30th, 2015 at 8:53 pm
I believe that even 2-14 would have a lot more palatable if Lovie/Licht had not spent so much time convincing everyone that they were planning on winning NOW.
Granted, we are the knuckleheads who allowed ‘hope’ to creep in, even after they completely disassembled and ‘re-built’ the O-line, but they were the ones who handed us fairy dust to build that hope.
I doubt that many, of us, will go into next season as naive as we did the last one. Fairy dust has a short shelf life.
January 30th, 2015 at 8:57 pm
Just keep telling yourself. It could be worse, you could be a Jags fan.
January 30th, 2015 at 9:59 pm
I don’t care if we never win another game.
Tampa is my home, the Bucs are my team.
Pewter and red til I’m cold and dead
January 30th, 2015 at 10:48 pm
I see 55 has fully endorsed Jameis and thinks the bucs will draft him. States he has a great work ethic and is a team player.
Somehow I think 55 has a touch more sway with Lovie than idiots at BSPN.
And he should have cred with every bucs fan.
Go Jaboo.
Put the Pewter on the man.
January 30th, 2015 at 10:58 pm
I too have been a fan from 76. Will always Love my team. But can we PLEASE do something about these ugly uniforms? How did they get past any design team?
January 30th, 2015 at 11:53 pm
Every expert raves about winston as they should the kid has talent. The rape allegations are never going to go away, who ever drafts him will have to deal with this as a team. Civil charges could come in the future. Does tampa bay buccaneers really want to attach themselves to this. Mr Books says it’s a problem of immaturity , you could say that about stealing crab legs but not this. All the NFL players charged with crimes against women this year and tampa has this young man in conversation is a direct result of poor ownership, we should have had a franchise quarterback along time ago.

I can say this for certain, he sure seems to be a high energy coach and a likeable guy. I think he will fit in very nicely. Makes me wonder how Arroyo was ever hired in the first place.
January 31st, 2015 at 12:15 am
Winston:” We just. We champions. We can share that we are champions together. And through everything that we went through, through all the haters, through every single thing ,we came out victorious. And God did this. I’m so blessed. He’s so blessed. All the stuff he handled with Ethan. And he come in here and coach us? That touched me. And it’s nobody but God. It’s nobody.”
January 31st, 2015 at 4:17 am
I like that he made the whole offense run to the WR who caught the TD.
January 31st, 2015 at 4:27 am
@Truebucsfan
Not 100% accurate. I don’t remember Pittsburg running Big Ben out of town nor even mention it anymore! If i remember correctly he was accused not once but on 2 different occasions of sexual assault.
Just saying time heals all wounds and so does winning. If Winston was the QB picked and came in and begun to win ball games. Everyone will forget about the poor character issues and ride his bandwagon.
January 31st, 2015 at 11:00 am
Man!! With a good OC and a good QB coach. Glennon’s gonna shine.
January 31st, 2015 at 11:55 am
87ForJameisNoMariota they all said the same sh*t about Johnny football. So your point about the analyst saying Winston is moot.
