Johnthan Banks rips Buccaneers coaching staff

Johnthan Banks is not happy with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coaching staff. The Bucs traded him to the Detroit Lions for peanuts last week, after benching him for the entire season. The former second-round pick at one point looked like a promising young starter, but has struggled with consistency over the past years.

Banks did not hold back in his criticism of the Bucs coaching staff, now that he’s in Detroit. Here’s what he told MLive.

"What was holding me back in Tampa? Coaches. That's what was holding me back. Coaches," Banks told MLive after practice Thursday.
