Great news!! He is expected to bring in former Cal HC and offensive guru Jeff Tedford to be OC.

ESPN's John Clayton says Lovie could hire former Vikings HC Leslie Frazer as DC and former Bucs assistant coach Rod Marinelli as DL coach.

Great hire. I was reading though that Marinelli was going to be the DC. Either way great hires all the way around. It'll be awesome to see what Marinelli can do with this Dline

Smith had a nice run with the Bears.

He had some up and down years, but his overall record there was good.

Hopefully he will restore the Bucs identity with a physical and consistent defense.

Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Yeah, that's what I read. But apparently Lovie won't be bringing in Frazier, he apparently hired Marinelli as DC.
