Bucs fans, remember 1977, 1983? You will soon

This Thursday morning, word came from One Buc Place that offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodinski has been fired. Fired? What team fires their offensive coordinator 10 days before the opening game? Even the hapless Kansas City Chiefs fired their coordinator a week ago. This just shows how the wheels are coming off the bus in Tampa.

Junior Morris has no idea what he is doing, and I stand by my assertion that Morris is simply occupying space while the Glazers line up suitors to sell this team. Had Gruden and Allen stayed on, they would have wanted to spend more of that 65 million dollars of cap room. Forbes magazine this week came out with the rankings of NFL teams and the Bucs were the 8th most profitable, which I found surprising, but it is a lucrative stadium deal for the Glazers and the Bucs are the third highest priced tickets in the league.

But regardless of the future of the Bucs ownership, you do not fire coaches 10 days before the start of a season unless they have done something like DUI manslaughter. Who was responsible for the hiring of Jagodinski? Junior Morris. Jagodinski was fired from Boston College last season after violating his contract and speaking to the New York Jets without permission.

Week 8, the Bucs will be heading into their bye week. They should have a 1-6 record by then, and after the bye the gerry curl wearing, Tito Jackson look alike, Josh Freeman will be under center for the remainder of the season. It's sort of fitting that the Bucs will finally wear their throwback Creamsicle uniforms this season at the home game versus our old foe, the Green Bay Packers. By the time the throwback unis make their way onto the field, longtime fans will have flashbacks to 1977, 1983 and many other years.

Sad. Very sad that Oakland, Cleveland, Detroit and Kansas City might very well finish above the Bucs and right now, I will project they might very well have a pick in the first round of the draft next year in one of the top 3 spots, if not the first overall. A very painful year coming up for sure.
