Il GM dei Bucs, Mark Dominik |
"We understand we're not a finished product," he said. "I know that there's things we need to address on this team and I know that we'll do it in all capacities. We're going to do it in free agency. I don't want people to be worried that we're not going to spend in free agency. We'll be involved."
Sono affermazioni molto chiare e precise, quelle del nostro General Manager, che lasciano poco spazio ai dubbi. E che, un domani, potranno sempre essere usate contro di lui, se ai buoni propositi enunciati non dovessero poi seguire fatti concreti, una volta inizata la free agency!
Sempre dall'intervista al Times, Dominik non rinnega l'importanza del draft, che però dovrà essere usato insieme alla free agency - e non in sua sostituzione - per costuire una squadra finalmente competitiva:
"We'll absolutely do it in the draft," he said. "We have the fifth pick in the draft. Whether we stay there or move around, it's a big selection for our football team. But there's still things that have to be addressed on this football team from a talent aspect, absolutely. And I look forward to Coach Schiano being a big piece of that in terms of making sure we bring the right men to this football program and it becomes successful the way he wants it to be."
Infine, è probabile che Greg Schiano, prima di accettare il ruolo di HC, abbia ricevuto importanti garanzie da Domink e dai Glazer. Come dice il GM, se da un lato loro intervistavano Schiano, la stessa cosa faceva il coach, ponendo domande e interrogtivi a Proprietà e GM, evidentemente per capire se anche da parte loro c'era voglia e intenzione di investire in maniera importante per riportare Tampa Bay ai fasti del recente passato:
"When we were interviewing him, I know that he was interviewing us, too," Dominik said. "You could tell by the questions that he would ask back that were very specific, intelligent questions. He doesn't just want to be in the NFL. He wants to find the right job. For him to choose Tampa speaks volumes for what he (sees) here and what we're trying to do here. All (candidates) had questions, but it's the depth of the questions that made me feel confident that if Schiano was offered the head-coaching job of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, I believe he wants to be the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers."
