In Tampa there is optimism seasoned with some disbelief that the scumbag owners of Man. U. are dumping any coin at all on the Bucs. No one is whispering playoffs, or division titles.

The truth is, every head coach in the NFL had another job first and for lots of them it was in colleges. No one knows if this guy is another buffoon who will be over his head at the next level, or is this head coach a steal that other teams will wish they had plucked from the college ranks.

So the mood in Tampa is curious... not nearly so optimistic as yours, even with Commisar Roger not done with his Politburo-style crackdown on your team. We may not like you much in Tampa, but we hate him more, I'm not sure if there is anyone who likes the snake.
