We have a new special teams coach. I don't know much about this guy but anyone is better than Keith Armstrong

Hires like this...it's real hard to know anything unless you're directly involved in the coaching world in a real way.

Trust the process, I guess.

He got fired less than a month ago by a sorry Giants team. Tells me all I need to know.

Makes you wonder what Bucs ownership is really up to. They turned down more qualified OC candidates for Liam, and now this.

Who would you have taken over Liam and could we have gotten them?

Here's the interview room:

Bucs - "So the Giants were ranked worse than us in Special Teams, why should we hire you?

McGaughey - "Have you seen the players we have on the Giants? There was a guy born 2023 years ago that wouldn't have helped them"

Bucs - "Fair enough"

Well, that means the Tandyman could happen with a quick snap of the fingers. I was always impressed with him being ready when his number was finally called even if it were/was short term.

There were a couple other established OC's that made lateral moves that had previously worked with Baker. Apparently the Bucs didn't even consider them.

Coen hire whelmed me enough, this one I’m not really feeling but as others have said our STs have already sucked outside of the kicker/punter so I’m not gonna pretend to be upset either.

Did the Bucs turn them down or did the OC candidates not take the offer? Do we even know that much?

Who? I don’t remember seeing anything like that.
