Per rotoworld. Thank god. Now hire caserio ross!
Dominik did not do a bad job in Tampa Bay at all. Biggest problems there were:
1. Coaching. The players essentially revolted against Schiano and it wasn't until the ownership made it clear he wouldn't be fired during the season that they settled down.
2. Poor QB play. Freeman is a trainwreck and Glennon may improve but in his rookie year was a bottom 5 or so player.
Bucs have talent. I'd actually love it if we did interview him because I think he'd do a good job.
LOL...just wait....Dominick will be hired...LOL
Wow, can I go get a drink of water and come back to this site without hearing our team is interviewing someone else?....then I go pee and come back and the word is we're not really talking to him?.....This is so embarrasing. EVERYONE is laughing at out organization. Enough already. Just hire someone, it can't be worse than Ireland anyway.
Ozzy rules!!
LOL...just wait....Dominick will be hired...LOL
If Mark Dominik had one chief fault in my eyes, though, it was his utter failure to build any sort of depth along the offensive line. Though biased towards the position, the offensive line is arguably the most important unit in football, and Dominik overpaid a handful of players while failing to develop the necessary depth. The guard situation in 2013 was so poor that the left guard spot was, over the course of the season, manned by two converted tackles in Jamon Meredith and Gabe Carimi and a center in Ted Larsen, due to the lack of true guards on the roster. Dominik only drafted one offensive lineman during his tenure, Xavier Fulton in 2009, who never played a snap in the NFL and was most recently traded for a sixth round pick... in the CFL draft. Davin Joseph and Jeremy Trueblood were both given bloated contracts in 2011 which have not yet (in the case of the former) or never were (in the case of the latter) lived up to. I do believe that the inability to field an overall-effective offensive line unit ultimately hurt the Bucs the most on the field since 2009, and that comes down primarily on Mark Dominik's inability to develop, and refusal to draft, linemen.
here's an article that gives decent insight on Dominik's time in Tampa

One thing that stood out to me when reading was this paragraph:
Bucs OL isn't great but their chief fault was having a coach that the players revolted against and trash QBs. Josh Freeman is about as bad as Mark Sanchez.
