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?
