I thought Mike Sherman had this job, following news of his 2nd interview. Was stunned when i saw the tweet about Schiano this morning! I would have sided with Sherman's experience in the league, and gone with him.

Mike Sherman was a toss for me - he's proven he can't get it done. I just can't stop shaking my head at this decision - This guy had every opportunity to exploit the weak competition in the Big East for over a decade, and did squat. If you toss his first season, when he went 2-11... You make a case that he didn't have his recruits coupled with the fact that he had to face McNabb (Syracuse), Bulger (WV), and Vick (Va Tech). But then the competition falls off exponentially - he not only couldn't keep recruits in state, but couldn't secure a BCS bid with Ray Rice, in a division void of defense. 28-48 in 11 seasons against the Big East....And now is expected to magically transform the NFC South? Wow...

It really didn't matter who they hired. A Vince Lombardi/Bill Belichick love child couldn't win with this team. As long as the Glazers are siphoning money from the Bucs and pouring it into Manchester United, there will be no winning here.

$40+ million below the cap will not get you a winner in the NFL. Until the Glazers sell, nothing will change.

Well the good news is in 2013 teams will be required to spend 89% of the cap

Spending isn't their only problem, just their biggest one.

It doesn't matter if they do spend up to the cap, if they go on the cheap with their player personnel department, they will still flounder.

Incompetent front office leads to bad contracts.

The Glazers need to go, but they won't. Why would you sell off a guaranteed money maker? Their stadium lease is outstanding and the TV money is only going up.

Don't you think that since they are forced to spend up to the cap they will upgrade their personnel department? Surely a small investment compared to the many millions more they need to spend on players
