That's what it's looking like. Damm next season can't come fast enough.

How about Bill Callahan or Aaron Kromer? Both have a history with Bruce Allen and the Raiders and TB.


At Tampa Bay in 2007, Kromer coached an offensive line that cleared the way for the Buccaneers to rush for 1,872 yards and average nearly 327 yards of offense per game. That season, G Arron Sears earned All-Rookie honors under Kromer’s tutelage. In 2006, despite his unit losing a total of 23 starts from injuries, Kromer prepared a pair of rookie starters weekly and Tampa Bay cracked the 1,500-yard rushing milestone.

He was the senior assistant for the Buccaneers in 2005, working primarily with the offensive line. The Buccaneers surpassed the 100-yard rushing plateau in 10 contests, and Kromer helped polish the skills of All-Rookie selection G Dan Buenning. Following the season, Kromer was selected by former Bucs coach Jon Gruden to attend the NFL’s Coaches Career Development Symposium.

Kromer arrived in Tampa Bay after spending four seasons with Oakland as the offensive line coach from 2002-04 and assistant offensive line coach in 2001. The Raiders’ offensive front was the foundation of a unit that led the NFL in total offense in 2002 – the same season the club advanced to Super Bowl XXXVII.
