The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will hire Jon Hoke as their defensive backs coach, according to Fox Sports' Alex Marvez.
Hoke has a long history in the NFL and college football as a defensive backs coach, most notably with the Houston Texans between 2002 and 2008 and with the Chicago Bears, where he coached defensive backs from 2009 to 2014, which included a couple of dominant years under Lovie Smith before the defense immediately fell apart once he left. Last year, Hoke was the defensive backs coach and co-defensive coordinator for the South Carolina Gamecocks, responsible for the pass defense.
