Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: the new Bucs coach says it just felt right. More »

Adam Schefter is reporting that Greg Schiano and the Buccaneers have reached terms on a five-year deal that makes Schiano Tampa Bay's next head coach. But by leaving Rutgers in the lurch with National Signing Day for football recruits coming next week, Rutgers will be right where it always wanted to be. More »

What you see above are two versions of this morning's front page of the Register-Guard of Eugene, Ore. No, that's not an error, nor is it a do-over on a report that wound up reaching the masses. A source told the newspaper last night that Kelly, 34-6 in three seasons as the University of Oregon's football coach, had accepted an offer to jump to the NFL to coach the Bucs. Then, just before midnight (PST), that same source informed the paper that Kelly had had a change of heart. More »

Per Chris Mortensen, the Bucs will have an interview tomorrow with 68-year-old Marty Schottenheimer, who hasn't coached in the NFL since 2006. Guess they figure they have to reach the playoffs before they can lose in them. [via] More »

Morris, like Steve Spagnuolo, is to some extent a casualty of his team's unexpected success last year—the Bucs won ten games (playing a limp schedule), and presumably management thought the team would improve upon or at least equal that this year. Of course, the Bucs suck, and so they went 4-12, with a ten-game losing streak to finish the season. More »

From Peter King: "Great note by @AdamSchefter: Bucs are 0-7 with Albert Haynesworth, Pats are 7-0 since waiving him." Three cheers for the disgruntled one! More »

He was just trying to see if Romo has anyone willing to challenge him in the way Tom Brady was, but Sanders definitely could have worded his question a bit better. [h/t to Jackie A.] More »

What's known is this: On Sept. 11, just after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers opened the season with a loss at home to the Detroit Lions, a 34-year-old man named Gary Holmer was severely beaten by two men after a minor car accident in which his vehicle knocked the mirror off another vehicle outside an apartment complex not far from Raymond James Stadium. Bucs running back LeGarrette Blount was there, but was never charged, nor was he accused of doing anything physically to the victim. More »

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost a heartbreaker yesterday to the Tennessee Titans, a 23-17 game thick with penalties, turnovers, and otherwise sloppy play. That sloppiness continued in the locker room, where Fox 13 aired this live interview with Bucs tackle Donald Penn while an as-yet unidentified teammate changed nearby. The clip gets bonus points for the inclusion of a phrase like "they got a big part," plus plenty of mentions of "measurement." More »

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Tampa Bay Bucs have claimed Albert Haynesworth just a day after the Patriots released him (sentimental Belichick: "It just didn't work out"). This is an experiment that is almost proven to fail by now, but perhaps the warm air will be good for him. [Twitter] More »

I think it's safe to say Colts defensive tackle Eric Foster will not play again this season after his right foot got stuck under a teammate as he fell. It's kind of nasty, but you can just watch what happened. More »

Rookie Buccaneers linebacker Mason Foster may have two first names, but he doesn't have a lot of money. He's a rookie, and a third-round pick, which means $20,000 means more to him than it does to, say, Chad Ochocinco, the Patriots receiver Foster hit in last Thursday's preseason game. More »

The Bill Belichick machine throttled Tampa Bay last night. It was 28-0 at the half, Brady and Ochocinco clicking like they were young lovers. But Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy saw the whole thing as a learning experience, although not an experience to learn the prior opposing quarterback's name. More »

HBO's trying to pick a team to follow for this year's edition of "Hard Knocks," but between the uncertainty of the lockout and the sometimes unwanted publicity generated by recent shows, they can't find their franchise. The Broncos have made clear that they're not interested, and last week the Buccaneers turned the network down when approached. There's been interest around the country for the Lions to be featured, but they've already shot that down. More »

Actually it's...Jon Gruden?!?! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired their doll-faced head coach last night. Gruden's Bucs hadn't won a playoff game since winning Super Bowl 37, and had missed the playoffs four of his last six seasons, including a tremendous December collapse this season, starting 9-3 and still missing the playoffs. Raheem Morris, who had been the Bucs' defensive coordinator since, oh, Christmas, will replace Gruden, and personnel director Mark Dominik will replace GM Bruce Allen, who was also shitcanned. More »
