Bucs Hire Bill Sheridan as DC

"The Bucs are in a New York state of mind when it comes to selecting coordinators.

Tampa Bay hired former Giants assistant Bill Sheridan as defensive coordinator on Friday, two days after introducing former Giants quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan as offensive coordinator.

Both were assistants under Tom Coughlin when the Giants won Super Bowl XLII in February 2008.

"Bill is a great teacher who brings a tremendous understanding of defensive football to the Buccaneers organization," new Bucs coach Greg Schiano said in a statement the team released.

"Over the last three decades, he has had the opportunity to work under some great head coaches like Bo Schembechler, Nick Saban, Lloyd Carr and Tom Coughlin. His experience and know­ledge will be a great benefit to our defensive staff."

Sheridan was unavailable for comment, but the Bucs scheduled a news conference for Tuesday.

Sheridan actually left Ohio State for the Bucs. He was the last assistant to join new Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer's staff, hired Jan. 31 after spending the past two seasons as Dolphins linebackers coach.

But before even one practice, Sheridan jumped at the opportunity to interview with the Bucs. He did so Wednesday. "

What an awful hire. He was atrocious with the Giants, and I honestly think he's not going to last two years in Tampa.
