Not Exactly Inspiring Confidence


One thing is certain: this season will be entertaining.  If not for the product on the field, for the head scratching and eye rubbing.  My twitter account rang out the news:
“The Bucs announce the firing of Offensive Coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski.”  What?  You kidding me? 

Now it is reported that Jags couldn’t call plays, and that he didn’t have the complexity of the offense down.  Complexity?  Didn’t that leave with Gruden’s playbook?  I thought it was zone blocking, hand the ball to Caddy or Earnest and grind it out.  I mean, that guy who looks like Radio is our QB now, remember?  He throws like a howitzer—usually a perfect ten yards above our receiver’s head.  Oh, and he doesn’t move.  He has no knees.  But he did win the job over Luke McCown.  That decision came fast and sure, too.  Remember?  So lets fire the guy who installed the zone blocking running game.

The real question is why now.  Did we just figure out he can’t call plays and doesn’t understand his own offense?  Great.  The Cowboys are on the horizon.  Games that count.  These Raheem Morris Bucs coaching moves aren’t exactly instilling confidence in me.  How about you?

Hey, I know!  New Offensive Coordinator is the QB coach.  Maybe he can re-open the whole QB battle.  I’m thinking Josh Johnson is the man.  Or, maybe we can get Jeff Garcia back, eh?

About Darin:

Darin Shaw has served as the Senior Pastor at Christ's Church of Amherst, N.H., since January 2000. He's written a few blurbs, led a few projects and produced a few cool things over the years. The very best of what he's produced are four wonderful girls - Amanda, Katie, Becky and Emily - he managed to pull that off along with his lovely wife Shari. Together they all live in a red house surrounded by lots of trees in the same community with lots of really great people. He is known to hang out on Sunday mornings with people of a much higher caliber than he, and counts that among life's greatest privileges. Then, on Sunday afternoons, Darin and his family settle in for the full slate of NFL games, shouting loudest when the Buccaneers take the field.

Key Stats: 6-2, 240 ... 16-year veteran of Pastoral Ministry out of Florida Bible College and Southwestern Bible College and Theological Seminary ... Boasts of being able to count on one hand the number of Buccaneers games he has missed (either having been there in person, watched on television, or listened to the radio) since they entered the NFL in 1976. ... Sports a lifetime 74 percent accuracy in NFL prognostication ... Certifiable Jesus freak; loving husband; devoted father; zealous blogger.
