Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com has called for Raheem the Dream to walk off into the Florida sunset once the season is finished.

The wolves are beginning to gather at Raheem the Dream’s door.

Fans have already lit their torches.

Will Raheem the Dream survive? (Does he even want to survive?) The great Mike Florio, creator, curator and overall guru of ProFootballTalk.com doesn’t believe so.

Though Florio is a child of new media, as much as he would like to protest it, he’s now a MSMer. Think not? Than why did he make weekly in-studio appearances on NBC during the college football season?

Florio is also an employee of NBC. It doesn’t get much more MSM than the peacock.

So count Florio as the first member of the MSM — to Joe’s knowledge — to call for Raheem the Dream to be fired.

Despite a couple of decades of humiliation, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers currently are on track to have their worst season since entering the league winless in 1976. And since the NFL played only 14 games in 1976, the Bucs could be setting a single-season franchise record for futility, if they lose to the Seahawks, Saints, and Falcons.

So why isn’t first-year coach Raheem Morris on the hot seat?

Though some members of the local media are rousing rabble, Morris has escaped (for now) the unblinking red eye of the national press, due largely to the perception that the Glazers are less concerned about winning football games than they are about saving money.

At some point, though, Morris must be accountable. He hired offensive and defensive coordinators that he already has thrown overboard — a sure sign of dysfunction, poor judgment, and/or disloyalty. Besides, the team stinks. With each passing week, Packers coach Mike McCarthy should actually be on the hot seat for actually losing to this team.

But if the Glazers are inclined to keep Morris around simply because they don’t want to finance another buyout, they should simply reassign him to defensive coordinator, and hire someone who’s truly ready to be a head coach.

Morris wasn’t, and the folks in Tampa need to demand that the absentee landlords running the franchise do something to rectify the situation.

Unlike a lot of fans, Joe has bit his tongue at times regarding Raheem The Dream (sans calling out defrocked defensive coordinator Jim Bates) all through the brutal Bucs season.

Joe kept looking for feint glimpse of hope. Perhaps that’s evident in an improved defense (despite losing to three straight second-string quarterbacks in three weeks). Yet Joe, a journalist, has tried to be reasoned in his view of the Bucs loss after loss after loss after loss after loss after loss after loss after loss after loss after loss after loss after loss.

But the offense was so horrid last week, so pathetic, so impotent, so rudderless though the Bucs have a number of very talented players, Joe has begun to rethink his stance.

Let’s just say at the very least, Joe thinks there needs to be a new offensive coordinator, for no other reason than to save Josh Freeman from becoming the bust Joe initially thought he may become.
