The Buccaneers hired offensive coordinator Todd Monken away from his job as the head coach at Southern Mississippi and there’s going to be at least one thing Monken misses about the college game.

Monken said that he wants the Bucs to have a “fight song” while discussing the place that fun has in his philosophy of coaching. Monken said he doesn’t “know why it has to feel like such drudgery” and that he hopes that things don’t feel that way in the Bucs locker room next season.

“Watch the Carolina Panthers. They’re having fun,” Monken said, via the Tampa Bay Times. “That looks like fun to me. I want our quarterback to have fun. I want our guysto have fun doing it together. I want the locker room to be fun. 

 

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

The NFL is a copycat league & I can see the Bucs getting there with their locker room first. Besides this new from-college OC I've always liked Mike Smith. He was the only Falcons coach to smile on the side line since Dan Reeves, who seemed to always be smiling or crying lol. He just worked for an idiot owner. Not all coaches can do what Coach Rivera has done.

Maybe the NFCS will become known as the NFC Smilewhilehavingfun division.

It seems obvious but of course not everyone does it. Even teams i coached i knew i would get the best out of my team if i let them have fun.  Overcoaching and adding too many layers instead of letting instincts take over has lost more games then having fun.

That goes for life in general.

    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
    • When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
