I sure wouldn’t want to lose Monty to another team but why in the world would’nt an owner persue him for a head coaching job, I don’t get that at all.

Great news, even better that saying Gruden was signed to a new contract.

Por (James R. Kinzer) on January 18, 2008 (Suggest removal)

This is great!!!!!!  This is the best thing that Brucie has done in years, maybe this is the start of a great 2008!!!

Por (Cedrick Wilson) on January 18, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Keep up the good work Bruce, now how about a number 1 wide out, and give Graham a big pay raise.

Por (Chuck Hinzeth) on January 18, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Wade is right.  This is the biggest offseason move the Bucs could make. But it’s only going to work if Allen gets Monty some D-linemen that can get to the quarterback. Gaines and White are an upgrade, but it’s not enough.

This defense doesn’t work without a better pass rush.

He could have been a head coach years ago but he chose to stay with us again. Thank the football gods. Now lets get a decent deal done for Earnest Graham.

HalleluYah! The Franchise has been saved!

Por (Dee Humphrey) on January 18, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Hooray!! The first of good decisions (I hope).  Don’t forget the job Graham has done for the Bucs this year.  Let’s get’er done in 2008.

Notice how people are euphoric about keeping KIFFIN.  They know that without him, the Bucs are doomed.  What does that tell you about Gruden?

Por (michael casner) on January 18, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Thank God!!!!!!!

Por (Sean Knight) on January 18, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Chuck from Largo is quite correct. If the Buccaneers don’t find better quality interior DL’s, it seriously limits what Kiffin can accomplish as a playoff quality defense.
Gruden’s offense has had what…four drafts in a row before last years. Give Kiffin a second infusion of youg talent and this defense will be solid once again!
Go Bucs!!

Por (Charles Lieble) on January 18, 2008 (Suggest removal)

It’s About time, BUT, the Bucs MUST use free agency to get a BIG VETERAN UNDER TACKLE TO apply pressure to opposing QB’s. We need to keep Jeremiah Trotter. He deserves a chance. OTHER NEEDS: Earnest Graham needs a pay raise & learn how to utilize Graham & Bennett with the cadillac still in the shop. We need a big time WR to replace the always ailing Joey Galloway. Chad Johnson; A perennial WR would open up the running game more & allow Gruden’s double tight end tandem of Jeremy Stevens & Alex Smith to shine. Congrats Bucs on a much better season from 2006 to 2007, but we still have a ways to go. Gruden’s offense must continue to score & Monte’s defense must blitz more. I’m ready for 2008, are you?

Por (Cody Ubben) on January 18, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Where does Jeremiah Trotter deserve a chance to play exactly? Who are we gonna bench to put his old ##### on the field. He was brought in as a locker room presence, thats it.

Por (Charles Lieble) on January 19, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Hey Cody in the Cornfield, Trotter played possessed in the Panther game. He had double digit tackles & was all over the field. He at least deserves much more playing time than Ryan Nece. I also think he’s as good as Cato June. Give him a chance.

Por (Kurt Thoreson) on January 19, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Under Gruden, The The bucs won the division in ‘05 because they were last place in ‘04.  In ‘06 they finished last because they had a first place team’s schedule (thanksgiving, monday, primetimers) which is OK, remember when we had two monday nighters a year?  There hasn’t been one in Tampa since ‘03.  The bucs will have a first place team’s schedule, lets see how it goes.  History has taught us it won’t be good.

Por (Todd Oakes) on January 19, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Here is how the draft shoud work.Trade down some to get a extra 2nd round pick.Get either Hardy for Ind. or Jackson form Cal. or even Sweed fom Texas for WR. get Charles from Texas at RB. and Colt at QB for future.Try and sign Moss in Free Agency.Get the cener from Saints and the Bucs will look great for now and future.Go Bucs!

Por (Cody Ubben) on January 19, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Not even going to argue football with you Charles. Your obviously much smarter than me on that subject since I live in Iowa where everybody is a moron.
What the f##k does where I live have to do with anything?

Por (Charles Lieble) on January 19, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Now, now Mr. Hawkeye/Cyclone Man, I presume. I never said anything negative about Iowa. The expletives are also not necessary. I’m glad to see Bucco’s from afar. I’m a 31 year season ticket holder. I’ve only missed 4 home games in history. I’m very passionate about OUR team. I also not a big Gruden supporter, but I’m willing to let him stay the course for now. He, Bruce A, & our scout staff did an awesome job with last year’s draft & free agency. 2008 will be the make or break year; another 1st place schedule is upon us & we must improve. Keep rootin for TB from the upper mid-west.

That a boy Cody,it’s about time somebody put old man charlie in his place.These florida boys think that out of state fans do not know anything about football(although i’m a fla. boy myself).JUST KIDDING CHARLES-but Cody Charles do have a point about Trotter,that guy can hit anybody-get rid of Nece or June,June can’t play the run.If you want to get rid of someone get rid of one of the four QB’s we have.

Por (Joseph A. Perez) on January 20, 2008 (Suggest removal)

Guys, I am also an out-of-state Buc fan, altho I lived in Lakeland for 40 years and just moved to N.C. 2 years ago.  I like Trotter also, but guys, he is a middle linebacker and our middle linebacker is Barret Ruud!  Trotter is too slow to play middle lb for us as the mlb has to cover the middle of the field.  Nece and June play slb, and Nece only played because June was hurt.  June has much more range than Trotter, but I agree he misses WAY too many tackles.
  Also, Trotter played a great 1st half for us, but really dropped off in the 2nd half.

Por (Cody Ubben) on January 21, 2008 (Suggest removal)

I’ve got nothing against Trotter guys. I just don’t think he fits the scheme. He was an absolute beast for the Eagles and I hated playing against him but he wasn’t asked to do the same things in Philly as he is asked to do in Tampa.
