It has been one of the biggest burning off-season questions – and it started around week nine of the regular season: will Mike Smith leave the Buccaneers to become a head coach? Fortunately for the Bucs and their fans, it appears he will stick around for at least one more season.
After the Jaguars hired Doug Marrone as their head coach and brought in Tom Coughlin as VP of Football Operations – giving him final say on all decisions – Smith’s options were immediately limited. Smith has only interviewed with two teams, the Jaguars and the San Diego Chargers.
