It’s odd, really. The timing of Jay Hayes’ firing was not only poor, but extremely confusing. With the coaching candidates all but gone, the Buccaneers moved on from Hayes 42 days after their final game ended, leaving every other team – sans the Indianapolis Colts – to attack the coaching pool and improve their staff. Now that the pool has been drained virtually dry, where do the Bucs turn for answers?
Internal candidate Paul Spicer has been named as a potential replacement and will reportedly interview for the position. Another name we’ve seen floated around is Arizona Cardinals’ defensive line coach Brentson Buckner.
