TAMPA Oshane Ximines Jersey , Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are searching for a new coach for the fifth time in 10 years. History says they’ll set their sights on a big name, but not necessarily land their first or even second choice.General manager Jason Licht said Monday he’s just “grateful” to have an opportunity to lead the effort to replace Dirk Koetter, who was fired after going 19-29 with no playoff appearances over three seasons.“Ultimately, the results and wins just weren’t there,” Licht said. “Collectively, everyone in the organization has fallen short of expectations of what we thought we could do.”The move to dismiss Koetter was not a surprise.After going 9-7 in his first season after being promoted from offensive coordinator in January 2016, Koetter followed with consecutive 5-11 finishes that extended Tampa Bay’s playoff drought to 11 years.What’s more puzzling is how Licht retained his job despite a spotty track record in the draft and free agency. The Bucs are 27-53 since he took over as GM in 2014.“Right now Julian Love Jersey , I’m just grateful to be here,” Licht said, without elaborating on why he deserved to stay while Koetter was let go after constructing an offense that ranked among the best in the NFL statistically, including No. 1 in passing yards.Instead, the GM reiterated he is committed to finding the right coach to lead a talented young team moving forward.“It’s been disappointing for the entire organization, but we are determined to get back on track,” Licht said.The GM also made it clear that Koetter’s replacement will inherit Jameis Winston as his quarterback. The No. 1 overall pick from the 2015 draft is due to earn $20.92 million next season in the final year of the contract he signed as a rookie.“He has done some amazing things for a young 24 Darius Slayton Jersey , turns 25 in a week, quarterback that’s accomplished more than most of the elite quarterbacks did at his age,” the GM said. “There’s a lot to like about Jameis; Jameis will be here next year.”The Glazer family that owns the team rarely grants interviews and is especially tight-lipped during coaching searches.Early speculation about Tampa Bay’s latest opening centers around someone with a proven track record such as Jim or John Harbaugh if they become available, former Packers coach Mike McCarthy or maybe former Cardinals coach Bruce Arians, who worked with Licht while both were in Arizona.The next coach will be the fifth the Bucs have hired since Jon Gruden was fired after the 2008 season. Tampa Bay has not won a playoff game since its Super Bowl run under Gruden 16 years ago. Raheem Morris, Greg Schiano, Lovie Smith and Koetter were not the solution.Licht T.J. Hockenson Jersey , who will be assisted by a search firm, is focused on hiring the “right fit” as opposed to an offense- or defense-minded replacement.Asked if the search might include candidates who’d like control of personnel decisions that might ordinarily be handled by a GM, Licht said he’s a team player.“I’m not going to get in the way, and let an ego get in the way, of getting the right guy here,” the GM said. “My job right now is to get the best fit for the head football coach, period. Whatever has to be done has to be done.” PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has ended his lengthy standoff with the team by meeting with president Art Rooney II http://www.lionscheapstore.com/jahlani-tavai-jersey-cheap , though any shot at reconciliation between the two sides appears to be out of the question.Brown, who has asked to be traded, posted a picture on various social media accounts on Tuesday that showed him arm in arm with Rooney at the Palm Beach International Airport.“We discussed a lot of things and we cleared the air on several issues!” Brown wrote. “We both agreed that it is time to move on but I’ll always have appreciation and gratitude towards the Rooney family and @steelers organization!”Brown still has three years remaining on the $72 million contract he signed in the spring of 2017, and remains one of the most dynamic performers in the league. He is the only player in NFL history with six consecutive 100-catch seasons and he hauled in 104 receptions for 1,297 yards and a franchise-record 15 touchdowns in 2018.Yet his relationship with the team has deteriorated over the past several months.The low point came before Pittsburgh’s game against Cincinnati in Week 17. The team sent him home with an apparent leg injury on the Friday before the game and he failed to provide coach Mike Tomlin with an update until Sunday morning, when his agent, Drew Rosenhaus Will Harris Jersey , let Tomlin know that Brown was available to play.Tomlin opted to make Brown inactive and Brown did not show up to clean out his locker or conduct an exit interview with the coaching staff. He pulled out of the Pro Bowl with an injury, and Rooney indicated the team had been unable to make contact with Brown in the weeks after Pittsburgh finished 9-6-1 and failed to reach the playoffs.Brown has continued to be a vocal critic of the Steelers during his estrangement from the team. Over the weekend, he took aim at Tomlin and Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for their role in the deteriorating relationship between Brown and the club.
