Bucs finally make good on promise to help Josh Freeman
When the Bucs hired a head coach, Greg Schiano, with a defensive background, it was more than a little surprising.
Because everyone knows the team’s best chance for success is to get quarterback Josh Freeman back to a point where he’s playing like a franchise quarterback. When his play slipped during the 2011 season, that status was, at best, debatable.
That’s why it was widely assumed the Bucs would opt for a head coach who had an extensive offensive background, someone who could mold and develop Freeman. When Tampa Bay hired Schiano, whose expertise is mostly on defense, we were left to wonder what that meant for Freeman, who had been described as a top priority by everyone in the organization
