How Big Of A Disadvantage Is It To Play A 'New' Head Coach In The Season Opener?

Sheridan was the DC for the Giants in 2009. Make you concerned he will make the Bucs a juggernaut? Only until you remember he was fired after 1 year after the Giants gave up the second most points in their franchise history and they gave up 40 points or more 5 times that year.

True but i think Greg will have a big hand in the defense. It is his background.

yep...they almost have all the makings of a dream team college coaching staff.

Don't forget Butch Davis who can't be on our roster due to contractual demands with the tarheels.

Schiano is the head coach who manages the team. We have veteran coordinators, including OC Sullivan who coached Eli Manning for the last 4 yrs, who call the plays on sundays.

Alot of you who say it's not an advantage will be the same ones saying the oppisite if the Bucs win.

schiano is no harbaugh.

harbaugh was by far he exception to the rule that college level coaches fail as coaches in the NFL. why did he succeed? one word.......experience. he had it on the pro level as a player and as a coach(albeit in a limited capacity in that regard).

There also is no comparison between the quality of the 49er's roster when Harbaugh took over vs the Bucs roster.

The Bucs offseason acquisitions were good, but San Fran was loaded for Harbaugh.

Problem for them is that Schiano has little to no experience as a DC at the NFL level. That was Miami in 1999-2000. Miami was pretty good that year but the question is how much of his experience over a decade ago still applies to what works 12 years later. Given how offenses have changed in the past decade, will his experience still suffice? Even all his accolades at Rutgers was in 2006 almost 6 years ago. While his throwback reputation sounds good, throwback in the NFL is synonymous with dinosaur. He reminds me of a guy like Lou Holtz, good in college but outmatched in the pro ranks.

Oppisite?

Take a hike.

Hmm Davis and Gore maybe, the rest came on last season.

Jackson, Williams, Clark, Freeman, their OL is good, Blount (a Gore clone) and the rookie Martin is a better group of players imo.

See, it's statements like these that cause people to call you a troll. Even you can't believe that Tampa has as good an offensive roster as San Fran. Better? That is even more laughable.

You are taking it out of context.

Going into last season Smith was a bust. Its why SF drafted a quarterback. Freeman on the other hand is a player on the rise. San frans offense consisted of Gore/Davis. Greg Schiano has much better talent on offense in his 1st season then Harbaugh did in his. Lol why do you think the 9ners went out and signed/up-graded their offense this season?

Uh, wrong. Sullivan was the QB coach for Eli the last TWO years, he coached their WR's before then. Even so, he's never had to design plays, routes, gameplan for an entire defense or play the chess game that goes on with the opposite DC.

He's has the task of outsmarting a very accomplished Ron Rivera and the McDermott, with an avg QB, coming off a crap year with ZERO prior experience.

We, however, have a better D than last season, our Pro Bowl MLB back and the future DROY. Nevermind proven vets like Chris Gamble, Thomas Davis, Charles Johnson and James Anderson.

I applaud your enthusiasm and attempt to make chicken salad from chicken shlt but it's just not working.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
