It’s been one week since the Buccaneers and Lovie Smith parted ways. Since then, General Manager Jason Licht, along with ownership, has been searching for a new coach to lead the Bucs into 2016. Licht believes that the pieces are in place in Tampa Bay to make the position very attractive for whoever takes over the reins.
One major piece of that, Licht said, was rookie quarterback, Jameis Winston.
“A 22-year old quarterback, who I happen to believe is a franchise quarterback, that’s a very strong asset to have,” Licht said when asked why he believed that Tampa Bay is an attractive destination for a potential head coach.
