Tampa Bay Buccaneers Hire Jimmy Raye As Senior Offensive Assistant

PrintIt was announced today that the Buccaneers have hired former 49ers Offensive (literally) Coordinator Jimmy Raye as a "Senior Offensive Assistant". Apparently they need an old guy to sit in the booth and yell, "Run it up the gut!" periodically throughout the game.
Early predictions have LeGarrette Blount penciled-in for 700 carries this season, averaging a projected 1.9 yards per carry. Screen passes and sweeps will be ceremoniously torn from the playbook and burned while Raye sings a traditional song worshipping the gods of mud and grass.
Raye will reportedly ask Blount to change his name to "Gore" and wear the number 21, so Raye can find him on the field and/or sideline.
Josh Freeman, who seems skittish about the move, will need a few healthy backups as he'll likely be unprotected and throwing the ball to God-knows-where, whenever a pass play is eventually called (via stuffing a tube-sock into Raye's mouth). Look for Freeman to have career lows in the following categories: all except for hand-offs.
It has also been reported that "Dadgum Yahoo" is on it's way to Tampa Bay, much to the shagrin of Raye. You'll remember it was Yahoo that reported dissention in the 49ers locker room, much of which was centered around the archaic play-calling on offense. At that time the 49ers had once run the ball 37 straight times in a single game, while trailing by 10 points.
The following has been fabricated from the finest yarn, yarn being, you know...a story, a fiction of sorts. Any resemblance to the truth is strictly coincedental, except it'll probably be pretty damn accurate by the time this whole thing is said and done.

Hilarious!
Great write up! It was obvious that the Bucs needed to upgrade their offense this year. I guess they have some kind of internal plan to tank the season for the #1 draft pick next year. Don’t they know they can’t draft offensive coaches?

Senior
Well, at least part of his job title is correct.
What is truly interesting about this
…is that Raye will not be answering to a certain film analyst (who posed as a HC for SF). We will soon know if the poor offense really was due to a lack of imagination from Raye or due to a combination of ineptness AND micro-managing from Sing
And the Answer is: Micro-managing from Sing
Sure Jimmy Raye is an OBG, but let us be fair Gang, he did share with us on his way out the door that, “I called what Mike wanted.”

Cause their talent sucks. If they get better it is because all their young draft picks on defense stepped up and not the udfa an offense amounted to more than squat.

Any word on why we wouldnt let them take the DB coach as their DC?
Isnt it generally the unwritten rule to let people take promotions?

Sorry, but I always love your posts. You had me falling out of my chair at work reading this one.

A cloud of dust was reported lingering in the air in the Tampa Bay area. The Bucs coaching staff is puzzled by its sudden appearence. San Francisco natives are trying to clear up the mystery for the Bucs staff but are having difficulty speaking due to uncontrolable laughter and loss of bladder control.

Raye is familar with Crabtree....
Offer Crabtree and a 5th rounder for their 2nd rounder.
I’d rather have an addtional 2nd rounder plus keeping (re-signing) Morgan & Ginn.
I think this is better for our team….how about you?
seriously
the bucs would be getting screwed… lol.

Someone should look at John Rodges from New Mexico St. a steel in late secound round. wide reciver\punt return

Aren’t teams supposed to be trying to get better?
Rule #1) If you hate Joe Buck, watch this www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkCSZKbyL94
Rule #2) Follow rule #1
for some reason
other teams love our old coaches
I can see the white board scenario now....
1st n 10 … run up the gut
2nd and 9…. run up the gut
3rd and long …. wait…… oh yeah… run up the gut

Sounds like teams go after Jimmy Raye

Bring back the creamsicle uniforms. I loved those things.
Sorry for the Bucs fans. Tampa’s FO must want Matt Barkley in next year’s draft…
Atrocious post. Singletary was the problem with the offense. He’s not going too be the OC, he is probably going to get Winslow more involved in the offense, not call plays. I think the Bucs have enough coaching issues to blame their front office for putting together a whopper. Morningweg would be my Target HC if I have a young QB.
Gonna make the WR position relevant again? When?
Agree
They would rather keep posting there own vs bs narative than actually post the stats and see there has been no change with offense regardless of coach.

ppg
2011 11th Roman
2010 24th Raye/Johnson
2009 18th Raye
2008 22nd Martz
2007 last Hostler
2006 24th Turner
2005 30th McCarthey
2004 30th Tollner
2003 9th Knapp
2002 13th Knapp
2001 3rd Knapp
Looking at this the only thing we can really conclude is that the problem has been instability. The last time we have stayed in the top of the league was when we had Knapp. Who, may have his shortcomings, was part of the 49ers for a long time before. This isn’t really news or difficult to understand. Hard to believe that Raye was one of the better OC’s despite the fact that he was terrible.
Not really, you have to take into account the turnovers the defense created and avg field position.
Don’t you often tell people don’t point at one stat when there are multiple variables involved?
Gonna make the WR position relevant again? When?
I do
That is why I have a list of the trend to show that in this category, everyone was fairly terrible. If I use my eyes, I say that Raye and Hostler were the worst. I think that we can all agree that switching OC’s every single year was not beneficial. It hurt the careers of several talented players that could have been better. Imagine if Frank Gore didn’t have to carry the offense for seven years…
you guys have become like the grumpy old men, except you agree with each other.
