A ten game losing streak by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was all it took for the Glazers to give him the boot and the rest of the coaching staff Monday morning. The last game of the year capped it off with a drubbing 45-24 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The year started off great but a trip over the pond to London and the loss to the Chicago Bears they haven't won a game since. The fans expectations were high after the really young Bucs were 10-6 last year just missing the playoffs. Looking into the new season playoff bound was all in the minds of the pewter and orange. All they were able to pull out was a 4-12 season with the last 5 games seeming to get worse as the year went on.
A coach that had a young talented quarterback in Josh Freeman faltered all year. Staying on his feet was tough when defenses were living in the pocket as much as the quarterback was all game. He threw 22 interceptions to just six last season. The passing offense never seem to be in sync and execute the plays to win. The appointed leading receiver Mike Williams was no where to be found 90% of the year. The injuries and miss use of LeGarrette Blount made the rest of the offense under achievers. Could that have been coaching or were the players too young to handle the offense?
It seemed as the team was repeatedly unprepared for the games and players not giving their 100% on the field. Coaching is about get the best out of their players. In the eyes of the Glazers it seemed to them the players needed another leader, coach and motivator to lead them back to the Super Bowl.
Good luck Raheem Morris on your next adventure!
Buccaneer fans keep cheering! You have a young talented team that with the right things in place will be competetive again soon!
