As per Glazer.

Great job by them he had a great record in Chicago and will have success again, good for him. Tedford will be his OC who has had some success coaching QB's
 
This makes me smile. He is a good man who never deserved to lose his job. Especially to a CFL guy. I'm glad he can go to a place that will fit his scheme. Good luck to him
 
Appears done now:
Lovie Smith has reached an agreement to become the next head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, sources told ESPN.

The former Chicago Bears coach will replace the ousted Greg Schiano on a four-year deal, according to sources.

There is a fifth-year option for Smith at the team's control, a source said.

Smith met with the Glazier family Tuesday and was offered the job, according to sources. Talks for a contract extended until Wednesday when a deal was reached in the evening.

Terms of the contract weren't known, but sources said Smith is expected to make in excess of $5 million a year.

One of the two biggest coach firing injustices I can remember. The other, Marty getting canned after going 12-4 in SD.
 
Great hire. He'll have that defense in the top 10 next year. Now, will the offense and Glennon get it done?

Think they could be an option to trade up?

I think they'd give Glennon a shot as he did pretty well this year (19/9) but then again when a new coach comes in and he didn't bring the QB with him you just never know.
 
Imagine him and Lavonte David. He can turn him into an even bigger beast. And I agree that Marty was a bullshit firing as well, two great guys undeserving of that fate.
 
They have a pretty good nucleus on offense already with Glennon, VJ and...dang, can't remember their RB who got hurt early but he's good and their o-line is pretty good too. They continued to run the ball pretty well even though the team was struggling.

He's got a rocket for a arm.
 
I don't know that I would want to send Clowney to that D with Lovie as the coach.
 
so glad the bucs hired him - there's our clowney partner. Bucs need help desperately on the edge and Lovie likes some big, nasty 4-3 players (Peppers), especially with his defense being predicated on getting pressure with the front 4.
 
Tampa is going back to the early 2000's again with the Cover 2 scheme....Very good hire for Tampa. He's one of the very few coordinators to turn into a good head coach.
