Would it surprise anyone to hear that Bucs CB Darrelle Revis wasn’t heartbroken when Greg Schiano was fired as Tampa Bay’s HC? Ok probably not but Revis expanded on the issues that lead to Schiano’s exit.
“The atmosphere, I felt like, was real tense,” Revis told Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. “Guys didn’t like coming to work. That’s one of the things you have to have, a stress-free atmosphere and environment. You’re going to get everything out of everybody if it’s stress-free and let people be who they are.
“I just didn’t feel he did a very good job of that. It was a learning experience for him as well, and hopefully, if he ever gets another stab at it, he’ll do things differently.”
“There’s a difference between being a head coach and in control of the whole team and the whole organization at the time,” Revis said. “Everybody’s got their own schemes and what they bring to the table.
“I wish he would have listened to some of the players a little bit more, especially the veterans and some of the older guys. We can go down the line like Dashon Goldson, Davin Joseph, Carl Nicks, Vincent Jackson and those type of guys and listen to them. But he was the boss, and you’ve got to fall in line.”-ProFootballTalk.com
Revis noted that he is confident in new HC Lovie Smith and has heard good things from Brian Urlacher and Brandon Marshall in regards to taking advice. Smith is much more of a players coach than Schiano was and is a better fit in Tampa Bay.
