Bucs to Interview Marty Schottenheimer

[Giantmetfan07]

Marty Schottenheimer, whose last season in the NFL ended with his firing in 2007 after a 14-2 record in 2006 as coach of the San Diego Chargers, will interview Tuesday with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for their head coaching vacancy, according to league sources.

Schottenheimer's career record is 200-126-1 during the regular season, but he has acknowledged his 5-13 postseason record has been a failure. In his final season as San Diego's coach, the Chargers suffered a second-round loss to the New England Patriots at home.

Schottenheimer returned to coaching with the Virginia Destroyers in the United Football League in 2011 and won the championship. At 68, he has expressed his "sustained hunger and love" to return to coaching. Hall of Famer Marv Levy enjoyed his success with the Buffalo Bills in the same age range.

Would be a great coaching choice.

He builds great teams.

Hopefully he takes his son with him

 

[NCSportsfan21]

Hopefully not. Brian sucks.

I figured they'd go with Mike Sherman, we'll see.

 

[NCSportsfan21]

The Bucs are meeting with Chud tomorrow about the HC job.

I could see Chud going there easily.

Would be interesting to see him coaching again. I always liked him.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

I still think they go with Marty or Mike Sherman.

IDK, Chud is an offensive genius and that's what the Bucs need most right now.

And they are set up to run his system with Stocker and former Miami U TE Winslow II on the roster.

Well, they are taking their time so we'll see. For some reason I think it will be Mike Sherman, but I could be wrong. They are making sure they hire the right guy this time.
