Today the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired John Gruden. The high profile Gruden suffered a late season collapse to lose a playoff spot by being beat by his former team, the Raiders, in the season finale. Aside from winning the Super Bowl in 2003, he led the Bucs to the playoffs once. Giving him a 60-57, making him the winningest coach in franchise history, and to postseason appearances in seven season. Joining Gruden in the unemployment line is the General Manager Bruce Allen.
Set to replace Gruden is new defensive coordinator, 32 year old, Raheem Morris. Morris was set to take over the coordinator's job for the departing Marty Kiffin, serving as the Defensive Backs coach for the last two years, but after Gruden's dismissal moved right into the head coach's possession. The Bucs are hoping that Morris will turn out to be a whiz kid and turn the team into a perennial playoff team. Mark Dominik will take over the General Manager's possession, having served as the Director of pro personnel and been a part of the franchise for 14 years.
Good luck to all four men.
