After watching this Sunday's AFC Championship Game, Gerald McCoy says he identified one of the problems with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

McCoy said the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots "never have to worry about whether a guy was going to do their job or where they were going to be," which wasn't the case for the Buccaneers.

"Whether it was preparation. How guys prepared. How guys played," McCoy told WDAE. "We just shot ourselves in the foot a lot with penalties and mental errors. And then there were times where we just got beat as a team. The team was just better than us. That comes from experience. Guys have to band together. We've got to come together as a team and unit and get on the same page. We weren't always on the same page. I think myself and Lavonte [David], we take a lot of blame for that. Not doing enough in the room or at practice. If this thing is going to change, we need to take this thing over and make sure it changes."

The Buccaneers opted not to shake up the coaching staff after a 5-11 season.

There had been speculation that Jon Gruden was nearing a return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but they announced that Dirk Koetter would remain as head coach.

Gruden was pursued by the Buccaneers and Raiders but chose the situation with the Raiders as he was given more money and more power.

“By Friday, Oakland had emerged as a major player, talking to Gruden’s agent,” Kaufman said. “Nobody talks to Gruden directly, everything goes through Gruden’s agent, as it should be. And Gruden’s agent, operating from a position of tremendous strength, tremendous leverage. . . . Here comes Oakland. Mark Davis, Al’s son. And in the discussions with the agent, it’s basically the agent gets the impression, ‘Whatever you guys want. Let’s make this happen. Whatever you want.’ Well, when he gets back to the Glazers and basically says, ‘We have other options, and [a] concrete option in Oakland, and they’re willing to do this, and do this, and do this.’ And I think it reached a point where the Glazers, talking among themselves, the co-chairmen, said, ‘We can’t go that far. We’re not willing to go that far. A stake in the team. $10 million dollars. Total authority. We can’t do it. Doesn’t make any sense.’ So God bless Jon. Good luck. And at that point they reached the same conclusion that I wrote 10 days ago: If you can’t get Gruden, give Koetter another chance. . . . To even suggest that the Bucs had no interest in Jon Gruden coming back to One Buc Place. How naive can you be?”
