Tampa Bay Buccaneers Condition Now Official: F.U.B.A.R.!

Tom Edrington by Written on November 24, 2009

It is finally so very evident that One Buccaneer Place is a disaster.

Perhaps it fitting to put this one in military jargon.

Here are the three stages of confusion:

SNAFU: Situation Normal All F@#&*#d Up.

TARFU: Things Are Really F@#&*#d Up.

FUBAR: F#@*$d Up Beyond All Repair.

The DEFCON (Defense Condition) at One Buc Place is now officially FUBAR.

You can blame it all on Raheem Morris and Mark Dominic, coach and GM.

The OTAs and training camp were wasted.

This nonsensical "zone blocking" scheme for the offensive line didn't work.

There was a "quarterback derby" between two guys, one is gone (Luke McCown) and one is inactive weekly (Byron Leftwich). They are indicative of the failure to evaluate talent.

You know about the Jeff Jagodzinski farce and now Raheem Morris is finally taking over the position he should have been hired for in the first place—defensive coordinator.

This one and nine joke of a season gets more insane by the week. Are you convinced yet that Morris and Dominik are in over their heads? Are you convinced that perhaps hiring this "dynamic duo" was some sort of knee-jerk reaction by ownership?

Perhaps.

Are you convinced Morris was hired because "the players love him?"

It's a mess. It is so very FUBAR.

Now the defense will return to the Tampa Two, which begs the question:

Since Morris learned defense under Monte Kiffin, why the hell did he ever hire a guy who would dismantle it and try some wacky base defense that allows teams to run for as much yardage as they want against this team?

Shame on you, Raheem.

And shame on you, Mark Dominik.

You guys hired these new guys and the inexperience of the interview process is now glaring.

The only "stable" portion of the team are the special teams of Rich Bisaccia, who could one day soon start interviewing for head coaching positions. Indeed, perhaps it is Bisaccia who was and is more qualified to head-coach this team than Morris.

Mistakes? Plenty of them.

Blame?

Put it on three entities:

First, the Glazers, who hired Morris and Dominik.

Second, Morris and Dominik themselves.

The results are the indictment.
