Buccaneers hired Lovie Smith as head coach.
 
 
Credit Adam Schefter for first tabbing Smith as the heavy favorite in Tampa, and Jay Glazer for breaking news of the actual hire. Previous reports have indicated Smith will be accompanied by Jeff Tedford to coordinate the Bucs' offense, and Leslie Frazier to run the defense. Turning 56 in May, Smith spent 2013 out of football after being fired by the Bears, where he was head coach for nine years and earned an 81-63 record with one Super Bowl appearance. Smith is set up for success with the Bucs, who have far more talent than their 4-12 2013 record suggests. The Bucs are hiring Smith before a general manager, which suggests Lovie will have plenty of personnel power. We'd view this as a fairly high-risk, boom-or-bust hire despite Smith's successful track record.
 
 
TMD take:
 
 
 
OC: Jeff Tedford
 
DC: Leslie Frazier
 


Now thats 2 good Coordinator hires. 

 
 
If Gus fails, I will point back to his ultra weak Coordinator hires as the harbinger.
