McDermott Interviewing with Bucs


AntiBuc

Recommended Posts

Have been hoping that the inevitable departure of McD puts him outside of NFCS, but he has his name in the hat for the Bucs HC position.

Barely 24 hours after firing Lovie Smith, and on the same day that general manager Jason Licht explained the reasoning behind the surprising decision, NFL on FOX Insider Peter Schrager reported late Thursday that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are meeting with Panthers defensive coordinator Sean McDermott this weekend to discuss their new head-coaching vacancy.

It'd be hard to see McD on that sideline, possibly with some other Panther assistants!  C'mon McD, push hard for Cleveland!!

From what I have read they seem fixed on hiring their offensive coordinator as their new head coach.  They have to interview a few guys including a minority candidate in order to satisfy the Rooney rule and give the perception that they are actually doing a candidate search instead of just promoting from within.   So I not sure how serious they are at this point in looking at McDermott.  But they could sure use his assessment of their weaknesses and his plan to fix their defense.

Personally, I'm pulling for Koetter now.  For Winston's continued progress, they'd be wise to maintain continuity in their offense like we did with Cam.  Koetter could make that happen.  That'd be consistent with their public statement they'd like to model their organization after the Panthers.  Of course pilfering our coaches could help with that too.  

I wish Sean a successful future unless he's at an NFCS rival...or anytime he's on the opposite sideline from our Panthers!

All the smoke signals point to their OC, which makes sense.  He's getting some HC heat from other teams.  It's good to do their due diligence for McD.  For McDermott, it's a pretty good situation as there are a lot of pieces in place: a QB for the now/possible future?  Check.  Offensive weapons:  Check.  Some good players on D (David, McCoy): Check.  It's a pretty good place to start!  though it will be a playoffs or bust mentality there next season, which might turn some folks off.

I still think they go for their offensive coordinator.

Any team which is in the playoffs should not have interviews. It's stupid.

If you do that, you're effectively penalizing successful coordinators by telling them they have to wait until they can try for the next level, while others get to begin making their pitches now.  The way to do it without hurting them would be to keep all teams from having interviews until after the Super Bowl, and that's never going to happen.

This is just something successful teams need to deal with.

There used to be a rule about not being able to interview a coach of a team in the playoffs. But as Cyberjag said, it was penalizing both the coaches and the teams. Good assistants were getting to the playoffs, and teams would hire someone before they were done. So they put in the rule that you could interview, but it had to be in your home city, and only during the bye week.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
