It’s unusual to change coordinators in mid season. I’ve always thought it’s amusing that you will name an interim from the current defensive staff that was next to Evero and in meetings and games and HE had the answers but didn’t share them with the guy who’s now fired?
Replying to @NFLSTROUD
I understand the defense hasnt been good. but isnt this kinda a surprising move in the nfc south?

A Bucs win over Atlanta Sunday will tie them with the Falcons but leave Tampa Bay a half game out of first place in the NFC South with tiebreakers over both the Panthers and Falcons and a 2-0 division mark.

How should this Rays team be remembered after Milwaukee won the World Series in five games? Best in Tampa Bay history? Also understanding our complex sports market. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
