The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fired offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski Thursday and replaced him with Greg Olsen. Marking the second time that Jagodzinski has been fired in 2009. He has not even coached a single game all year but has been fired twice. <-- That would stink!! There is speculation that he was let go because of a disagreement with Morris over who should start as QB this year.
It seems that these new young coaches are coming in and shaking things up. This is the 2nd firing this week by a new head coach (Todd Hailey fired his Offensive Coordinator Chan Gailey). It seems to be risky and strange to let go of such big positions a week before regular season. At least Todd Hailey has an offensive background. Morris does not and is going to be dependent on Olsen to take the reins.
These moves seem risky, if they go bad it is all on the new coach. What do you think? Do you think this was a good move? How do you think this will affect their long term success?
**UPDATE: JeffJagondzinski has released a statement through Tampa Bay Bucs “I am certainly disappointed but I wish nothing but the best for Raheem Morris and the entire Buccaneer organization," Jagodzinski said. "I was given the chance to remain on staff as the quarterbacks coach, but felt that the timing for such a move was not in the best interest for either side. I appreciate the opportunity that was given to me. Again, I wish nothing but the best for this organization.”**
