Quote:I wouldn't call it suicide, especially because Lovie is going to make roughly $10M to do nothing for the next couple of years if he chooses to go that route, but coaching the Bucs certainly isn't what I'd consider a long-term career choice at this point.

 

If things don't work out with Bradley, I suspect Khan won't be as patient with his successor. Partly because the rebuild will be "complete" at that point and success should come more quickly, and partly because I kind of doubt (and suspect he doubts as well) that the fan base has the patience for another four years of sub-mediocrity. If Bradley does end up fired, the next head coach will be an established guy, a "splash" signing.
