Bucs hired ex-Cal coach Jeff Tedford as offensive coordinator.
It's an unconventional hire for new Bucs coach Lovie Smith in that Tedford has zero NFL-coaching experience, but Tedford churned out NFL talent during his 11 years at Cal, and oversaw a prolific offense. Including his days as an assistant, Aaron Rodgers, Kyle Boller, Akili Smith, Trent Dilfer and Joey Harrington are among the quarterbacks Tedford coached in the college ranks. Keenan Allen, Marshawn Lynch and DeSean Jackson are a few of the non-quarterbacks he recruited and coached for the Golden Bears. It's a bold and risky hire for Smith, whose downfall in Chicago was a dysfunctional and inconsistent offense. Tedford should install a balanced, pro-style system.
