Talking loud, saying nothing.
Can we draft a HC from a college team? That would help tremendously.
Bowles was not sought after by any team in the NFL to be a HC.
He was forced upon the Glazers and they just took it.
But I’m sure they had other reasons for accepting such a rusty penny.
Fully expect another mid season melt down. 9-8 is my guess.

You have to listen carefully. Then you will pick up good nuggets of info.
However, if you cannot get past the personalities then there is no point to listening to the Ira Kaufman podcasts.
Go Bucs!

Does a defensive 1st round draft pick even start if Dennis is healthy?
NCB is most open job with Smith at S. Izien has proved pretty competent but otherwise starters are set. A DT to upgrade Gaines and rotate or a CB to upgrade Dean are probably next best.
We truly are open to BPA, I am sure Bowles can work out the snaps and formations but I don’t like the idea of a 1st round S and fear Bowles is pick is Starks from Georgia.

Yep, me and the old hound and our favorite podcast. You three are my favorite “personalities” when it comes to all things Bucs! SenileSenior drink a glass of Prune juice and take a nap. I’m just messing with you SenileSenior. The new researcher position is interesting but one voice in his ear is plenty for Todd. Let that gal stick to contracts and let’s not let too many cooks in the kitchen. I like Defensive tackle and inside linebacker but if we can get that Emmanwori in the first round? And we would win big with Cornerback Barron out of Texas. The positive is Emmanwori could play safety or Middle linebacker. Barron has played corner, safety, and nickel. Both Ballhawks. Why not Campbell? Those shoulders can be tricky. And finally Steve-your worry about Reddick is a waste. Hassan needed the Bucs and we need him. Is he a risk? Sure. But he’s a risk worth taking. He’s a piece that is gonna fit real well and we’re going to find out real soon.

LOL. Actually my roommate in the ALF occasionally does drink prune juice to help Mother Nature. We both are Buccaneer fans. We both are overjoyed to have Baker Mayfield.

What were the Glazers supposed to do, tell Arians to take a hike and stick with Dirk Koetter? Really? Kinda think the Glazers (and Bucs fans) came out ahead, no? WAY ahead.
With no Arians there’s no Tom Brady. With no Brady there’s no Super Bowl. With no Brady there may not be a Tristan Wirfs (he was drafted specifically to block for Brady). And with no Bowles there’s no Baker Mayfield (and probably other players, too).
Also seems like Bowles had a hand in shutting down the Chiefs with one of the greatest offenses we’ve ever seen.
Joe gets you don’t like Bowles. But it’s not like the Bucs rehired Greg Schiano.

Thank you Joe

So what is it that Belichick / Licht saw in defensive ends that Mark Dominik had the opposite approach to?

Can’t go there, sorry.
