ABOUT THE AUTHOR: BAILEY ADAMS


Bailey Adams is in his first year with Pewter Report. Born and raised in Tampa,
he has closely followed the Bucs all his life and has covered them in some
capacity since 2016. In addition to his responsibilities as a beat writer, he
also contributes to the site as an editor. He graduated from the University of
Central Florida in 2019 and currently co-hosts The Pegasus Podcast, a podcast
dedicated to covering UCF Football.



The Bucs added another name to the list of candidates for their open offensive
coordinator position Monday night, announcing that they completed an interview
with Lions assistant head coach and running backs coach Scottie Montgomery.

Montgomery actually just accepted his current position with Detroit five days
ago after spending two seasons as the Colts’ running backs coach. He played his
college ball at Duke and spent a few years in the NFL before beginning his
coaching career. He coached Duke’s wide receivers from 2006-2009, then hit the
NFL ranks as a wide receivers coach with the Steelers for three seasons.
Montgomery then went back to the college level, splitting time between Duke,
East Carolina and Maryland. In 2021, he returned to the pros as Indianapolis’
running backs coach.

While with the Colts, Montgomery worked with Jonathan Taylor, who was a Pro Bowl
and All-Pro selection in 2021 after rushing for 1,811 yards (5.5 avg.) and 18
touchdowns in 17 games. Taylor then rushed for 861 yards (4.5 avg.) and four
touchdowns in 11 games this past season.

Scottie Montgomery is the latest in a long line of candidates for Tampa Bay’s
vacant offensive coordinator position. He joins Broncos quarterbacks coach Klint
Kubiak, Vikings wide receivers coach Keenan McCardell, Giants quarterbacks coach
Shea Tierney, Jaguars passing game coordinator Jim Bob Cooter, Saints passing
game coordinator Ronald Curry, Rams assistant head coach/tight ends coach Thomas
Brown, Georgia offensive coordinator Todd Monken and Bengals quarterbacks coach
Dan Pitcher as coaches who have been in the mix. Pitcher was the only one to
interview twice, but after almost a month, the search continues.

The Bucs fired Byron Leftwich on Jan. 19 after the team averaged just 18.4
points per game in 2022. When the offensive coordinator search began, Tom
Brady’s future was still up in the air. Tampa Bay was reportedly asking
candidates what their plans would be if Brady returned for another year. But on
Feb. 1, Brady retired – seemingly for good this time. Now, the future of the
quarterback position in Tampa is a complete mystery. And it’s leading to
problems with the search for a new coordinator.


WILL SCOTTIE MONTGOMERY BE THE GUY, OR IS HE JUST ANOTHER CANDIDATE?

As Pewter Report’s Scott Reynolds outlined over the weekend, the Bucs are having
trouble finding an offensive coordinator for a variety of reasons. Brady’s
retirement and the lack of a clear direction under center is one of them.
Another is the uncertainty surrounding the future of the coaching staff, with
Todd Bowles catching heat for going 8-9 in year one, division title or no
division title. The Bucs went one-and-done in the playoffs and Bowles’ job
security may very well be a question.

The Glazers have given every head coach they’ve hired at least two seasons, but
if Tampa Bay drops off even further in 2023, who’s to say whether or not they’ll
have patience with Bowles? They obviously like him, given that they made him the
highest-paid defensive coordinator in football after the Super Bowl season and
then greenlit Bruce Arians’ succession plan when he retired and promoted Bowles
to head coach. But if the owners aren’t happy with the team’s direction beyond
2023, they could choose to go in a new direction.



What this all means for the potential offensive coordinator, of course, is that
they may be taking a risk by uprooting their lives and their family and moving
to Tampa. If things don’t pan out this season, they may have done so for
nothing, at least in hindsight. That could be a huge obstacle as the Bucs
continue their search. Take Pitcher and Monken, for example. Pitcher interviewed
twice, but he has a good thing going in Cincinnati with Joe Burrow and the
Bengals. Monken may have it even better, having won back-to-back national
championships as Georgia’s offensive coordinator, and the Bulldogs are going to
be one of the favorites again in 2023.

So, with Scottie Montgomery becoming the ninth candidate to interview with the
Bucs, it’s starting to feel like this search has no end in sight. But then
again, the Bucs have to find the right guy – not just a guy. Whether or not
Montgomery is the right guy remains to be seen, he just took a new job last
week. For him to consider making another jump already is noteworthy.

Not to mention, his background is a tad different than that of the other
candidates. Most of the others are passing game coordinators and quarterbacks
coaches, while he has worked with wide receivers and running backs. Bowles and
the Bucs need to run the ball much better in 2023 than they did in 2022, when
they had one of the worst rushing attacks in NFL history. Does the need to run
the ball better lead them to Scottie Montgomery? We’ll see what happens.

Seems to me it’s either Thomas Brown or Scottie Montgomery unless they wanna
keep scouring the earth for other candidates. And Brown could take a job in
Carolina, which leaves Montgomery as the only candidate they still appear
interested in. I’m assuming the first batch of interviews were all dead ends
either through the candidate’s lack of interest or the Bucs’.

Running backs have not been the problem, the ineffective blocking was

The Bucs interview a guy who just got hired as a running backs coach from
another team. This is a farce. At this point I’d settle for Greg Roman.

Whichever Jaguar coach that devised the routes that Eric Biennemy stole needs to
be the OC here…

This team,,I swear. There was no need to fire Leftwich. The guy has 2
consecutive great seasons. So you keep the HC and fire him. Why didn’t you just
fire them Both or keep them both? At least Byron had some continuity with
Bowles. Now you are bringing in somebody who will probably be new at the
position. Be careful what you wish for Buc fans. It can get a hellava lot worse.
And it probably will.

If I was a coach or player, I would not want to come to this team either. These
RB and WR coaches with no play calling experience probably will not fair much
better than Leftwich calling plays.

With all the controversy swirling around the Bucs, it is better to sweep the
deck clean and start over with a new HC and all that goes with it. Barriers: HC
in trouble, no QB, no backup QB, cap hell, etc. Who would move his family to a
new city for a one-year stint? It just won’t happen unless you hire a single
coach with no family and a wild hair believing he can change the world. And,
besides, there is the specter of Arians and some still on the offensive staff
that the new guy will have to work… Read more »

Agree Crazyhorse! U said it all my friend. Keeping Bowles just affects so many
aspects of this team. And not in a good way. There’s a reason most potential OCs
don’t see this as an attractive get. It would basically be a one year gig.
