On the same day he finally got his wish and ran incumbent starting quarterback Josh Freeman out of town, Tampa Bay head coach Greg Schiano revealed just how he feels about his role and his status with the Buccaneers.

During a breakfast meeting with suite ticket holders, Schiano dropped this nugget of insight into his mindset as the leader of the Buccaneers.

And why did the situation need Greg Schiano?

Referring to himself in third person? Referring to a departing coach who won more games than him through the same amount of games as a laughingstock?

This is out of control, and it has to end immediately.

If Raheem Morris had the franchise in the state of laughingstock, Schiano has it in the state of object of burning hatred and distrust. Fans and media members in Tampa Bay and across the nation have a generally negative perception of Schiano, and his comments to Bucs fans who pay a lot of money for the seats they sit in wont help his image.

If Schiano truly believes hes helped this franchise since hes arrived, hes sadly mistaken. Hes received a huge influx of talent over the last two seasons (although he says its impossible to load a roster in two seasons). And with that increase talent, he tripped and fell into a decent start to his first year.

But since the last part of his first season in Tampa Bay, hes led a team thats tied with Jacksonville for the worst record in the NFL over the last 10 weeks of play. Compare the rosters in Tampa Bay and Jacksonville, and there should be absolutely no reason for those teams to be mentioned in the same breath.

So if Schianos job was to come in and simply be better than Raheem Morris, its arguable that hes even reached that goal. Because Morris started stronger, and didnt lose the locker room until later in his tenure.

And if you (the reader) believe that Schiano is doing okay because hes not losing as badly as Raheem did, then you have very low standards, and youre relying on moral victories. Moral victories are okay for a Big East school with a lower football budget than many bigger rivals and a lack of recent success.

But in the NFL, moral victories are meaningless. Head coaches should coach teams to victories, not to improved performances compared to the last head coach.

The Buccaneers removed half of the drama by releasing Josh Freeman. Its time to remove the other half and fire Greg Schiano.
