00:00Sean McVay, take one. Marker.
00:05I'm Sean McVay.
00:07I was an offensive assistant,
00:09really like a glorified secretary,
00:11in 2008 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
00:14And what a typical day was,
00:16was just kind of being able to assist.
00:18It might have been picking up dry cleaning.
00:20It might have been helping Monty Kiffin,
00:21setting up his turkey sandwiches
00:23where he had seven turkey sandwiches,
00:25and he'd eat one every single day like clockwork.
00:28It might be drawing cards, putting formations on there.
00:31No job was too small for me to do,
00:33and I was happy to help any way that I could.
00:36Kyle Shanahan, quality control, 2003 to 2005.
00:40Take one.
00:41They called us the Gruden Grinders,
00:43because that's really how he did it.
00:44Nobody is bigger than this football team, nobody.
00:47I had been out of college for literally eight months,
00:50and I wasn't used to getting up at 3.30 in the morning.
00:53I got in pretty early.
00:54I pissed Gruden off.
00:55I got in before him one time,
00:57and I said, eh, let's not do that anymore.
00:59My dad's Mike Shanahan,
01:00so he's been a coach for a long time.
01:01He just said, hey,
01:02you're gonna learn all this stuff from John,
01:04and that's important.
01:05But nothing's more important
01:06than understanding defense and learning defense.
01:08Across the hallway,
01:09there was a huge open room
01:10where all the defensive coaches were.
01:12That was the coolest thing to me about the building,
01:14because the staff that they had,
01:15with Monty Kiffin, with Raheem, Mike Tomlin,
01:19they just had this legendary staff,
01:20and they all kind of worked in the same room.
01:22And all I tried to do was soak in defensive football
01:25while I learned the offense from John,
01:27because I wanted one day to be a play caller,
01:29and those guys helped me out so much,
01:31and they still mess with me now
01:32saying that they gave me too many secrets.
01:34Now they have to go against me,
01:36but I think that was probably the most important part of my career.
01:39When you look at the success that Tampa's had
01:42in terms of all these coaches going on to have success
01:45after they've been a part of that special organization
01:48and that family, it's about the people.
02:09We made the decision to part ways with John and Bruce,
02:12and we felt like we had some people in our organization
02:15that understood the way we had operated around here.
02:19We have this bright rising star on our coaching staff
02:23in Raheem Morris.
02:24I was told by the Glazers that I was their first choice.
02:28Knowing I had the blessings from the Glazer family,
02:31I wanted to go present my best self
02:33and give it my best efforts.
02:35I told Raheem, trust your instincts, man.
02:38You've been preparing yourself for this.
02:40Go for it, man.
02:42And I'm rooting for you.
02:47The new head coach of the Tampa Buccaneers, Randy Morris.
02:50He was a young coach.
02:52And he was about Rondé's age.
02:54He was 32 years old.
02:56But I can relate to these guys.
02:57They relate to me.
02:58We move well together.
03:00And I think that's what the Glazer family likes.
03:02Mark Dominick became the GM.
03:04He had been with his franchise for well over 15 years.
03:08He was someone that had a great football background
03:10and also someone that we could communicate and work well with.
03:13And that's half the battle.
03:15We took a chance and we said, okay, let's put this team together.
03:17The team we'd had had gotten old.
03:20Maybe the best thing to do at this point in time is to start over
03:23and give them the opportunity to build a team again.
03:26Let's build a team that can grow up together.
03:29Let's go with the youth movement.
03:31The Tampa Bay Buccaneers cleared house on Wednesday,
03:34releasing five players, including 11-time Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Brooks.
03:39They're basically telling Derrick Brooks they don't think he can play at a high level anymore.
03:42I hope they know what they're doing.
03:44This was the veteran fabric of this football team.
03:48It was not a great place to start your new regime.
03:53Some say he's the best player to ever wear a Buccaneer uniform.
03:572,198 tackles, seven defensive touchdowns,
04:0211 Pro Bowl appearances, one Super Bowl win.
04:07Derrick Brooks officially retired today.
04:10Transitioning away from the game is something that I always tell players to be prepared to do
04:16because you never know when that last snap is going to be.
04:19I understood the business of football.
04:23That's part of business.
04:25But that doesn't stop the emotional hurt that you go through.
04:32It took a great deal of pride with me knowing that I would go into the Hall of Fame
04:38all my years as a Buc.
04:40Didn't wear any other color but this one.
04:43As a servant leader, I just want to do the best I can to make something better
04:47than it is when I come in touch with it.
04:51At number 55, it represents the relationship that I have here
04:57with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and I try to represent them
05:00in the most positive light that I can.
05:03It was unfortunate for Brooks' career to end with us that way.
05:08Derrick was a true icon, and this organization still is,
05:13a beloved member of our community, and that was tough.
05:17When you got to let go just critical veterans,
05:20and then you got to start to rebuild, that was a tough duty as well.
05:24But the joy definitely kicked in when you start the draft.
05:28The Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Josh Freeman.
05:32Here's Freeman, goes to the flag route to the end zone,
05:34it's caught, end zone, touchdown Tampa Bay!
05:37We only won a total of three games, but at least with Josh,
05:41there was some sense of hope.
05:43The goal was to build a team through youth.
05:45Maybe we have to take a step back to take a step forward.
05:47With the third pick in the 2010 NFL Draft,
05:52the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Gerald McCoy.
05:58You get drafted third overall.
06:00You were the third overall pick because the season prior,
06:03they were not very good.
06:05So they're bringing you in to revamp this defense,
06:07and you're supposed to be the piston that drives the engine.
06:11What you guys think Gerald McCoy is is what I'm going to bring to Tampa,
06:14and I don't plan to disappoint.
06:16You want to talk about a presence, a smile, a face of the franchise,
06:21a guy that can come in and potentially be the heir apparent
06:25to what you had seen in Warren Sapp,
06:27and to bring that type of presence to your D-line.
06:29Okay, this is the building block of hopefully what Tampa can rebuild upon,
06:33and then things really started turning around in 2010
06:36where we really felt like the team was going in the right direction.
06:38Find a way to win more games, find a way to get in the playoffs.
06:40That's the only thing we play for.
06:41That was the year of the race to 10.
06:43They are out in full force here at Raymond James Stadium.
06:4714 straight points for Tampa,
06:50and they've won it here on opening day.
06:52Buck 17 and Cleveland 14.
06:56That was his theme for the year,
06:58a race to 10 to try to get 10 wins.
07:00That would get us hopefully in the playoffs.
07:04And the Buccaneers go to 2-0, winning 20-7.
07:08And they were succeeding against the odds.
07:11Attack, attack, attack, attack.
07:14Here's the snap.
07:15Here comes pressure.
07:16Freeman rolling right.
07:17Holds it toward the end zone.
07:18God!
07:19Buccaneers win!
07:20Yeah!
07:21Has the Bucs become the best team in the NFC?
07:24That's what we do!
07:26Are we the best team in the NFC?
07:28When we're playing like a...
07:30These Buccaneers come to play every Sunday.
07:34I give Raheem Moore so much credit.
07:37Because I did not think he was ready to lead this team.
07:43Big game for the Buccaneers at home, hosting the Lions.
07:47They're trying to stay in the playoff race.
07:50It's campus defense unable to get off the field as we start overtime.
07:55Dave Rayner to try to win it for the Lions.
07:58And the kick is up and it's good!
08:00And the Detroit Lions put a dagger into Tampa Bay's playoff hopes.
08:05Taught me then, getting in the playoffs is extremely difficult.
08:10Man, we don't control anything about anything else but what we do next week.
08:14Next week, we gotta go to New Orleans.
08:16That's our playoff game.
08:17We got a chance to get 10 wins.
08:19Let's just go out and get it!
08:20Freeman drops back to throw on fourth down.
08:22Throws a fade route toward the end zone.
08:24It is gone!
08:25Touchdown, Tampa Bay!
08:27The Buccaneers reach 10 wins.
08:30And unfortunately, was not in the playoffs because of how well the rest are out.
08:34Division did.
08:36But we've built that franchise and got those guys as the youngest team in football
08:40to go out there and win 10 football games.
08:43And I thought it was absolutely outstanding.
08:46At that point, you're thinking, okay, the future's gonna be very bright.
08:49We're heading in the right direction.
08:51We're building a young team.
08:52Fans were excited.
08:53They had an exciting team.
08:55Things looked up and up.
09:00You being the youngest coach in the NFL,
09:02your team being the youngest team in the NFL,
09:04how does that translate on a day-in, day-out message to your ball club?
09:08We got a Youngry ball club.
09:10Some of the best things that could have happened to us
09:11might have been last year not making it with 10 wins.
09:14Did you just create a word on me and say Youngry?
09:16Young and Hungry.
09:17I'm telling you.
09:18Trying to say Young and Hungry,
09:20and it came out all together with my Jersey accent,
09:23and I said Youngry.
09:25We just stuck with it.
09:29It's the home opener for the Vikings.
09:31And off LeGarrette running right.
09:33LeGarrette, touchdown Tampa Bay!
09:35Josh Freeman has just engineered his eighth career,
09:39fourth quarter comeback.
09:41How about them Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
09:43So that season starts like the last season ended.
09:46It's exciting.
09:47The future is here.
09:48It's going to be fantastic.
09:49Here's a quick snap.
09:50Ryan dropping back.
09:51He's hit!
09:52He's hit!
09:53And a rumble recovery recovered by the Buccaneers.
09:56Here's a quarterback's beat by Josh Freeman.
09:59He's got a touchdown Tampa Bay!
10:01Good show for the hometown crowd.
10:04We're able to start fast.
10:05We're able to get these guys going.
10:07We start off 4-2.
10:08The Bucs are tied with New Orleans first place in the NFC South.
10:15Sometimes athletes don't deal well with success.
10:25A lot of these cats were acting like they were good.
10:29It's not about acting like you're good.
10:31It's about putting in the time and being prepared.
10:33Being prepared is not being out all damn night
10:36and being out every night of the week and acting a fool
10:39and coming into the complex hungover and stuff like that.
10:42Young guys go out and party, have a good time,
10:45and whatever goes along with that,
10:47that had a major effect on that group of players.
10:51Freeman throws, and it is intercepted!
10:54Buccaneers drop to 4-3.
10:57Raheem Morris, he was so close in age to some of our players
11:01that it was like, he's just one of the guys.
11:03I don't got to be different.
11:04I just get in line with my team.
11:06And we got away with a lot of things
11:08with how meetings were being ran,
11:10how freelance it was around the building,
11:13and it caught up to us.
11:15I think it really came down to discipline today.
11:18You can't afford to self-destruct.
11:20You talk about a fall from grace?
11:23We fell off the side of a mountain.
11:25Young football team making mistakes on the road.
11:27Bucs fall to 4-6.
11:29Week in and week out,
11:30we just weren't performing on the field.
11:32The discipline wasn't there.
11:34And then we just kept losing and kept losing.
11:38And our loss skid will extend to nine in a row.
11:42And it was just such a difference from one year,
11:45like where everything feels like it's going right,
11:47to nothing goes right for the rest of the season.
11:50The 2011 season will end on a 10-game losing note.
11:55The Buccaneers got to regroup, get ready for 2012.
11:59At the end of that season,
12:00we didn't want to be put in a position to have to fire Raheem.
12:05At that point, we had no choice.
12:07Raheem Morris fired Monday
12:09after the Buccaneers ended their season
12:11on a 10-game losing streak,
12:13this after a 10-win season last year.
12:16Continuity in the NFL is very important.
12:18You've got to get the right guys.
12:20The Glazers, they wanted a championship,
12:22and they were going to find their next head coach,
12:24whoever it was that was going to get them another Super Bowl ring.
12:27We are going to spend whatever it takes to win,
12:31to put the best team on the field.
12:34You know, from the start,
12:35someone that Mark Dominick was very intrigued by
12:39and focused on was Greg Sciano.
12:41He had Bennett Rutgers turned that program around.
12:45We kind of looked at our situation
12:46and felt that he'd be the right person for the job.
12:49Our team will be built around a humble,
12:52unselfish attitude of sacrifice.
12:55As a coaching staff and a team and an organization,
12:58we have to hold each other accountable.
13:00Tempo, in and out of the huddle, let's go!
13:06When I accepted the job,
13:08I didn't know a lot about what the state of the locker room was.
13:12It became apparent pretty quickly
13:14that some of the discipline that was needed
13:17to have a successful team maybe was lacking.
13:20Take feeling attitude, attitude, attitude!
13:22Get there, break foot, drive foot, break foot, drive foot!
13:25Our very first practice,
13:27Coach Sciano loses his mind.
13:30Stop it!
13:31I said toes on the line, start over.
13:34We're not doing that.
13:36Start the whole thing over.
13:38Yeah, we all looking around like,
13:40man, who the Glazers didn't hire?
13:43He walked up and down the line
13:45to point at everybody's toes
13:47to make sure we were on the line.
13:49Look at this!
13:51Instead of landing on the line,
13:53his foot landed back here.
13:55How many plays you missed by this?
13:57Greg was very demanding that way,
13:59and it rubbed some of the players wrong.
14:01These were high-class, top-level, professional athletes.
14:06Spence and Jackson, Rondae Barber, Davin Joseph.
14:10These are all pro players that he's doing this to.
14:13So, it's not going over well at all.
14:18Everybody flying around, a little bit anxious,
14:20figuring it out.
14:21What are these guys about?
14:22What is practice going to be like?
14:23All right, now you know what practice is going to be like.
14:25To this day, I don't know why I played another year.
14:28Transitioned to safety that year,
14:30so I had to learn a lot of new things about football.
14:33The easy thing maybe for him would have been able to go to another team,
14:36or to just retire.
14:37Yet, Rondae came back for another season.
14:40I was pleased not only with the way he played,
14:42but having him on our team.
14:43He served kind of as the elder statesman.
14:46He continues to add to his Hall of Fame resume.
14:50Rondae Barber, the old one, the veteran.
14:53186 consecutive starts.
14:55The team needed some age.
14:59At that point, I'm 36 years old, and they're all looking at me like I'm their uncle.
15:04But probably the best thing for me was the transition of power.
15:09We drafted Levante David.
15:11A terrific play by Levante David, who is just having a spectacular night.
15:17It's hard to put into words when you see a young guy that has talent
15:22that actually wants to be really good at what he does, and that was him.
15:28His attitude was right.
15:29I noticed it right away.
15:31For me, you know, personally, you know, I just love the game of football.
15:36So I'm very passionate about it, you know, no matter what.
15:39Being a linebacker, you always want to play in an aggressive defense,
15:43a defense that's always attacking.
15:45Levante David, another tackle for loss by the Buccaneer defense.
15:49One thing I remember about Levante David, I sat there and go,
15:52gosh, this guy, he just feels like Derrick Brooks.
15:57He's not Derrick Brooks.
15:58Nobody's Derrick Brooks.
16:00But he was damn close.
16:02Look at that closing speed by Levante David.
16:06Our very first OTA, it was the very first play.
16:11He ran past every single person at a speed I had never seen a linebacker run.
16:17And I said, what the heck was that and who is that?
16:21And coach said, oh, that's, you know, our rookie, Levante David.
16:25And it was that day that I coined him the Flash.
16:28Hey, Levante, you real fast, dog.
16:31You fast as heck.
16:33The Carolina Panthers found a quarterback a year ago, rookie Phenom Cam Newton.
16:43They'll run the option and hit the backfield.
16:46Cam Newton's clobbered.
16:47In 2012, we got a really good roster.
16:50We got Vincent Jackson.
16:51What a grab by Vincent Jackson.
16:53Doug Martin.
16:54Runs up the good, breaks a tackle to the 40.
16:56Is there anything number 22 can't do?
16:58That's the play of the day.
17:00That year, we went seven and nine.
17:02But there was the infamous game against the Giants.
17:05What I do with our football team is we fight until they tell us game over.
17:09Framon, over the middle, intercepted.
17:13And the Giants have their first win of the year.
17:16Across the league, it's league-wide known that when the game is over,
17:20the offense comes up, hey, fellas, we taking a knee.
17:23All right, cool, take the knee, game over.
17:26But Greg had this philosophy that the game's never over until he says it's over.
17:31The Giants are in victory formation,
17:33and he ordered his defense to come off the ball hard and low
17:37and try to get a fumble in a kneel-down situation.
17:41We had practiced this in practice.
17:44Well, now it's time to show the world.
17:46So Eli Manning comes up, like every offense does,
17:50and says, hey, fellas, we gonna take a knee.
17:53And we all look at each other like, we doing this?
17:56It's like, hey, here we go.
17:58Going up against a team that was pretty motivated here this afternoon.
18:02Eli, none of them were having it.
18:04The Giants were pushing and shoving.
18:06Giants didn't like that hit that was aggressive
18:08and put Eli Manning on his backside.
18:11They're like, what the F was that? What was that?
18:14They start stomping on us and punching on us,
18:16and we at the bottom of the pile.
18:18We're like, our coach made us do it! Our coach made us do it!
18:21And it rubbed Eli Manning wrong,
18:23and it certainly rubbed Tom Coughlin wrong,
18:25and it rubbed the football world wrong.
18:27You don't do that in this league.
18:31I mean, you jeopardize the offensive line,
18:32you jeopardize the quarterback.
18:34I totally disagree with the way that he handled it.
18:36I totally disagree with his opinion.
18:38What I did was right, and if you don't like it, too bad.
18:40And I think at that moment, the world kind of turned on Greg.
18:43It's unfortunate because I think Greg was trying everything he could
18:46to get this ship turned around.
18:48When you think of some of the most iconic Buccaneers,
18:50number 20 Ronde Barber comes to mind.
18:52Today, after 16 years in the NFL all with the Buccaneers,
18:56Ronde announced he was retiring.
18:58When I got drafted in 97,
19:00to say I had talent is a gross overstatement.
19:04Where my struggle came from is I didn't know what it meant to be a pro.
19:07It's not that I didn't want to be.
19:08I just didn't know what it meant.
19:09And I think I spent that whole year with Herm Edwards
19:11learning how to be a pro,
19:12how to prepare, how to be curious.
19:14And so I would say it was one of the best things
19:16that I had to be a pro.
19:17And I think I spent that whole year with Herm Edwards
19:19learning how to be a pro,
19:21how to prepare, how to be curious.
19:23And so I would say it was about 99.
19:25Guys like Sap would start mentioning my name.
19:28And they weren't talking about me messing up.
19:30The proof was in the plays that I was making on the field.
19:33And then from then on, it was a chase for greatness.
19:36I had the wins in my sails, had my teammates' support.
19:40It was just a race for the next 13 years.
19:44Now, I came up here not really knowing how to be a pro,
19:46how to prepare, how to be curious.
19:48And so I would say it was about 99.
19:50Guys like Sap would start mentioning my name.
19:52I came up here not really knowing what to say.
19:54But I think the best way to end it is say,
19:57I had fun.
20:02I love coming to work every day.
20:04I love football.
20:05I'll always love football.
20:07And I'm ready to move on.
20:09It's intercepted.
20:10And the 10 to the 20.
20:11He's going.
20:12Going coast to coast.
20:13Rodney Barber to the 50, to the 40.
20:16Barber to the 30.
20:17Nobody's going to touch him.
20:19Rodney Barber, 10, 5.
20:21Touchdown Tampa Bay.
20:32Rodney Barber, my good friends.
20:35Welcome to the Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2023.
20:39Oh my god, Derrick.
20:40With teammates forever.
20:41My football journey that I've been on for 40 years has reached its zenith and with that
20:51realization comes a pretty good reflection.
20:55Sap Brooks Lynch, let's go lose ourselves in another moment, boys.
21:00God bless you all and God bless America.
21:10Out of all the years I've covered the Bucs, and it's been a lot, 2013 stands alone, I think,
21:17as the most bizarre season, I think, in Buck history in a lot of ways.
21:2219 different signs saying fire Shiano, having lost 11 of their last 12 games.
21:28They had MRSA in the building.
21:31Three players with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers diagnosed with an infection known as MRSA.
21:36What many people are calling, you know, the superbug.
21:38The season was just awful.
21:40The Glazers had no choice.
21:41Shiano's lost control of the whole team and I think he should be terminated.
21:46Team owners fired head coach Greg Shiano Monday morning.
21:50It was a perfect storm for it not to work.
21:53I thought we had the makings of something that first year and then it kind of fell apart.
21:58But I do think that some of the things we did when we first got here were the foundation of future success.
22:04When you look at Levante, he was constantly about the team first and that's why he's still playing this many years later.
22:11It didn't work out for me here at Tampa but I walk away with a lot of lessons learned and a lot of relationships made still to this day that I value.
22:21The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking not only for a new head coach but a general manager as well.
22:26He had a very, very, very short list of coaches and Lovie Smith was the person we thought would be best suited.
22:32Lovie had been a coach on Tony Dungy's coaching staff.
22:35He had tremendous success with the Bears.
22:38Lovie leads the Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl against Coach Dungy with the Colts.
22:43Two black head coaches, first time in history.
22:47And they both coached for the Bucs.
22:49People kept asking me, who do you think will win?
22:53I said, the game of football wins.
22:55We realize what you've gone through the last couple of years and it's time for a new day here at Tampa Bay.
23:01It's very important to have a good working relationship between the coach and general manager.
23:07One person that came out of that process was Jason Light.
23:10The better teams in the NFL that we keep in the playoffs year after year are the teams that draft the best.
23:16We're going to build a championship team and bring winning back to this community.
23:20So Jason Light comes to town in 2014 and he's a self-described meathead scout.
23:27And that's exactly what this organization needed.
23:30They needed a general manager who would roll up his sleeves, do the dirty work and build this team through the draft.
23:37So my first draft, we needed a quarterback that year and I spent the first, I don't know how many hundreds of hours watching all the quarterbacks in that year's draft.
23:49And the one that piqued the most interest for me was Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M.
23:54Manziel takes off again.
23:56Everybody's talking about Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M, Johnny Football, Johnny Football.
24:02Wait, hold up.
24:03Who's that big light-skinned kid he keep throwing the ball to?
24:08As we watched more and more of Johnny Manziel, I became more and more in love with the receiver of most of his throws than it was Mike Evans.
24:18Who made who here, the quarterback or the receiver?
24:25I just always knew early on, life is extremely difficult.
24:29You know, things happen, it's about how you respond.
24:32My mother had me at 14 years old.
24:37There was domestic violence, issues in the household, which ultimately led to my father being killed by my mom's brother, my uncle.
24:49Me and my uncle, we were tight, but we didn't spend much time together.
24:55Neither did I spend as much time with my father.
24:58They both were locked up for a long time.
25:03They got out of prison around the same time.
25:07And we all are living under the same household, but as a nine-year-old kid, I don't understand the magnitude of what was about to happen.
25:15Someone's just been shot and he's laying out in the street, and there's blood all over the street.
25:21Please have an ambulance with somebody for me.
25:24My uncle hears all the stories about the toxic relationship my mom and my father had with the domestic violence and abuse.
25:30I was sleeping, he came home and he saw my dad, my mom wasn't there, and he just started stabbing.
25:36My pop shot the getaway, and he shot him, you know, from a distance, and then he walked up on him, and he killed him.
25:48I mean, as a nine-year-old kid, I was heartbroken.
25:51Because no kid wants their dad gone from this earth forever.
25:58I always loved sports so much, and I think that was a reason how I was able to push through.
26:02I was able to channel my anger and rage with sports.
26:15Mike Evans, this is Jason Light, the general manager of Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
26:19How you doing?
26:19With the seventh pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Mike Evans, wide receiver, Texas A&M.
26:32It didn't even feel, like, real in the moment.
26:34It's something I can't even explain, like something took over my body.
26:37You know, I just started crying, I couldn't control it.
26:39And I'm holding my two-year-old daughter, just knowing that I'm going to have the opportunity to take care of her and live all my dreams.
26:48He's what today's NFL wide receiver is all about.
26:51It just felt right if you know who you got.
26:56You know, you feel 100% that this guy's going to be a superstar, which we did.
27:02You have to take the guy.
27:03This is why they drafted him in the first round for this playmaking ability.
27:07Mike was unique.
27:09He wants to be the best.
27:11He wants to be the best teammate.
27:12He's authentic as a player, authentic as a person.
27:15He's become a very important part of our life, my life, my family's life.
27:19Mike is as close to family as it gets.
27:21He wants to be the best for me.
27:28Breaking news right now at 5, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just announcing team owner Malcolm Glazer has died.
27:35Malcolm Glazer's passing, it was a sad day because of what he had meant to Tampa Bay and certainly what he had meant to the Bucs.
27:43They're the Buccaneers!
27:45If you haven't heard about them, you heard about them today.
27:48So my father Malcolm was born in 1928 and he was poor his whole young life.
27:57Malcolm was born working.
27:58He was an amazing businessman.
28:00He had a paper route when he was 10 years old.
28:03And when his father died, he was 15, he would be up there running the business.
28:08He was supporting the family.
28:09He was selling watches when he was growing up, one at a time.
28:13But he gave me these stories about how he worked himself into the owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
28:20I would say his secrets to success were unbelievable determination.
28:28Nothing could stand his way.
28:31He believed you could do anything.
28:34I first give Malcolm a lot of credit.
28:36They came into this venture doing it as a family.
28:39And I think because they shared it as a family, it gave the kids a great deal of experience putting their value system to work to make the Buccaneers what they hoped it would be.
28:52He would push us as his children always to give it a shot.
28:57Everybody will tell you what you can't do.
28:58Let's see what we can do.
28:59And we'd give it a try.
29:00We started the Glazer Family Foundation in 1999 because we really wanted to give back to this community.
29:07One, two, three.
29:09Go!
29:11We later started a Glazer Vision Foundation.
29:14My father felt that when he got a pair of glasses when he was little, it really changed the trajectory of his life.
29:21And so we really wanted to honor that and give away glasses to all the underserved kids that would need them.
29:30Malcolm, I could never, ever, ever repay him of everything that he did.
29:36He explained to me how to run this business, how to treat people.
29:42And I knew I am working for a person that for the rest of my life, I don't have to doubt that they're going to take care of me because I knew they would.
29:53Malcolm Glazer was quiet, but what a warm, really caring person he was.
29:59I mean, he talked to me about thinking big.
30:02Think outside the box.
30:04And he gave me some really good pieces of advice, and I wanted to win for him.
30:10How about that, Mr. Glazer?
30:11We did it, man.
30:14Best in the world, man.
30:18I love you, man.
30:19If it wasn't for Malcolm Glazer, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would not be what it is today.
30:24It would not have been successful like it was.
30:26It would not have the culture it does.
30:30And it stands to this day.
30:31We honor the memory of our late owner, Mr. Malcolm Glazer, as we unveil the newest member of the Buccaneers' Ring of Honor.
30:43If he were here right now, he would simply say thank you, put his thumbs in the air, and go, go Bucs!
30:53Go, Bucs!
30:55Go, Bucs!
30:56Go, Bucs!
30:57Go, Bucs!
30:59And the offense fails again for Tampa Bay.
31:11It's hard to watch this week in and week out.
31:14The first year with Lovie Smith, it just doesn't go well.
31:17We're 2-14.
31:19You know, it really is hard to lose 14 games.
31:22Last game of the season, we're playing the Saints.
31:25If we lose, we secure the first-round pick.
31:28The biggest decision on the overhaul of this offense has got to be the quarterback.
31:31In the 2015 NFL Draft, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Jameis Winston, quarterback.
31:41What's it like for you now going to a city that's expecting you to really turn their fortunes around?
31:52My dream was always to be an NFL quarterback.
31:55Like, man, I'm trying to show this city, this organization, let's win a Super Bowl.
32:07It is finally here, opening day in the National Football League, and it's time to siege the day.
32:13And there is something special in the air.
32:16Opening day, we're at home.
32:19Jameis is comfortable.
32:21We're like, J, we got your back.
32:23We're going to show everybody we made the right pick.
32:26First pass.
32:29Jameis, first pass, intercepted.
32:32Touchdown, Titans.
32:33It was like, oh, my God.
32:36What have we done?
32:38You know, the first game was a game that, like, it didn't go as I planned.
32:42Jameis Winston has taken a beating today.
32:45And NFL game number one means loss number one.
32:48But as the season got going, like, we kept building, we kept building, we kept fighting.
32:53Great throw to Vincent Jackson from Jameis Winston.
32:57Any of y'all doubters on Jameis Winston?
33:01He is a gunslinger.
33:04Goes a pass toward the end zone.
33:05Caught ball.
33:06Touchdown, Buccaneers.
33:08He has no fear.
33:10He is a very excitable player.
33:14We got to protect our pride.
33:16We got to protect our babies.
33:17We are in our house and it's a beautiful day in Tampa Bay.
33:21And he had a knack for creating plays.
33:24He's still alive.
33:25Throws the ball downfield.
33:26He's got Mike Evans.
33:27The catch.
33:28What a play by Jameis Winston.
33:30These games were exciting.
33:33They were never dull.
33:34A lot of highs, a lot of lows, a lot of turnovers.
33:38The second interception thrown in today's ballgame by rookie Jameis Winston.
33:42And this is just a bad decision by Jameis Winston.
33:45You know, we end up going 6-10.
33:48Even though we only won six games, Jameis had done very well on offense.
33:53He was playing good football.
33:55And at that point, you have to make a tough decision because you have a first-year quarterback.
33:59And you want to make sure that he's given the best shot he had to succeed in the NFL.
34:06Dirk Cutter was his offensive coordinator.
34:09So we make the decision to promote Dirk to the head coach.
34:14And we move on from Lovie Smith.
34:16The Buccaneers just announcing that the head coach, Lovie Smith, has been fired.
34:206-10 was the record 2-14 the previous season.
34:23It was really tough.
34:25For me to tell Lovie that we were going in a different direction.
34:30Especially since, you know, he was the one that recommended me for this job.
34:37It is a new era for the Buccaneers.
34:40A lot of fans are absolutely hopeful that this will be a good thing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
34:45This franchise is headed in the right direction.
34:48Ready for the responsibility.
34:50Ready for the challenge.
34:51It's going to be a heck of a journey.
34:54Winston with time.
34:55Throwing deep for the end zone.
34:58Safarian Jenkins holds on for a touchdown.
35:01Definitely looked like the Bucs were going to be okay.
35:04Because they were having fun.
35:07And they were winning.
35:07You see how we play as a family.
35:10You see what we can do as a family.
35:12One team, one heartbeat.
35:14It's all about us.
35:14His energy, his aura, the excitement that he brings to everybody at all times.
35:21He just gave you confidence that everything's going to be okay.
35:25We'll win our third consecutive game in a row and we'll improve to six and five.
35:32The natural-born leader, he took command of the team from the jump.
35:37Do your job.
35:38We're together.
35:39We're not going out there.
35:40No, this is not a single man's fight.
35:41Winston gets a block.
35:43Throws it to the end.
35:44It's on the break.
35:45Touchdown.
35:46They can't say we're not a good team anymore.
35:48That's five in a row.
35:49Jameis Winston had gotten them to a 9-7 record.
35:52They just missed the playoffs.
35:55There's almost this feeling of, like, they've arrived.
35:59And Jameis is now going to deliver us to the promised land.
36:02Three, one, two, three.
36:03Down.
36:07Minnesota is where 27 teams just starts to trickle down.
36:14I'm rolling to the right.
36:16I throw a pass.
36:17And Anthony Barr tackles me.
36:19And I fall right on my right shoulder.
36:22That was the beginning of a right grade 3 AC sprain that I dealt with for the remainder of the season.
36:30The thing is, with an AC sprain, the only thing that can help it is rest.
36:35And when you play a football game, any time you fall on that shoulder, you re-injure it.
36:40And if you're not resting, there's no way that you can heal an AC sprain.
36:44The next week, I'm at practice.
36:48Mike Evans did a double move route on the outside, and I just checked the ball down.
36:52Dirk gets mad at me, saying, we got Mike Evans running full speed, Ronnie, you want to check the ball down?
36:57Because I was like, man, coach, like, I can't really throw.
36:59I want to be able to play on game day.
37:01And he was like, hey, like, if you're going to freaking throw on game day, you can throw and practice.
37:06I'm just like, you the head coach of the team, and you going to call me out?
37:10It was just like an alpha male conquest between Dirk and I.
37:13This is a must-win game for Jameis Winston and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
37:20They've lost four in a row.
37:21In my rookie year, Saints-Bucks rivalry, like, it's always rocking whenever we go into New Orleans.
37:27We're on a four-game losing streak.
37:29Like, this is going to be the game, and we're about to get a win.
37:32So I'm just putting all our thought energy to, let's eat a W.
37:35Like, let's dominate this game.
37:40Let's go.
37:41That's a W.
37:42Let's eat one.
37:43That's kind of odd.
37:49You know, nobody's never seen nothing like that before.
37:52You're trying your hardest to get into it, but you just couldn't, because it was just odd.
37:57Let's eat one.
37:57That's a W. How many people want to eat a W tonight?
38:00I started eating the W, and I'm walking around.
38:03I'm getting guys hype.
38:04You look in the background, you see Deshaun Jackson.
38:07He got, like, his look on his face.
38:08We're like, man, what the heck is he doing?
38:10There were a lot of collective eye rolls during that.
38:14I'm going to eat a W tonight, boy.
38:17There's absolutely no way that I'm about to dap this guy up after he just was, like, eating his fingers.
38:23I'm like, nah, dog, I got you with an elbow.
38:24We was walking in the locker room and said, man, I ain't never seen this a day in my life.
38:30But I'm going to say it now, we ain't winning today.
38:34Oh, boy.
38:36That is not what we needed to go ahead and win this game.
38:41So on top of that, second half, I get benched.
38:45The first game that I ever got benched my whole life.
38:49The Buccaneers lose their fifth in a row.
38:52And what will the future hold for Jameis Winston?
38:54Quarterback Jameis Winston will be suspended by the NFL for the first three games of the season.
39:09How are the Bucs reacting to today's news and what it potentially means for their season?
39:14You probably realistically were not starting out 3-0 even with Winston.
39:17So if you can win a game, maybe two, with a little bit of Fitz magic, you then can get that bump when Winston comes back in week four.
39:28We have Ryan Fitzpatrick.
39:30Great energy guy, great character guy, and highly intelligent.
39:35And he can play the game.
39:37That's going to be a Buccaneers touchdown!
39:41Fitz is dealing.
39:42Like, he's throwing a back shoulder touchdown to me.
39:45Touchdown, Chris Godwin!
39:48He's throwing deep balls to Mike.
39:49Mike Evans, Buccaneer touchdown!
39:52Deep balls to D-Jack.
39:54And we go in and we send him in New Orleans.
39:57I'm happy to announce Fitz magic is alive and well.
40:02Oh, oh, oh, it's magic!
40:05We're a defensive team historically.
40:06We don't have a lot of offense.
40:08And it was so exciting to see just us airing the ball out and just in a way that we never had before.
40:15Going deep to Deshaun Jackson on the first plate for scrimmage and takes it all the way.
40:2175 yards for a Buccaneers touchdown!
40:26The Bucs got to feel really good about this W.
40:28The chains, the tight jackets, the sunglasses.
40:37No, it's just game day.
40:38Game day wear.
40:39He truly became Fitz magic at that legendary press conference.
40:42I'd look up at the stands.
40:43I would see the sunglasses, the chains, the open collar, the chest hair, and the beard.
40:50It took off like wildfire.
40:52Social media's been lit up today because of Fitzpatrick and the outfit and everything else.
40:55He's wearing silly clothes.
40:57A, hilarious.
40:58B, separated at birth from Conor McGregor.
41:00It's nothing.
41:01I mean, I think we just have to stay humble.
41:03You know what I mean?
41:05People are already saying, this is Fitzpatrick's team.
41:08He is rolling and you can't make a switch.
41:10What's your take?
41:12Honestly, man, he's playing on fire right now.
41:14If Ryan Fitzpatrick looks like that, Jameis Winston is your future, but you keep Ryan Fitzpatrick in there for the rest of this season.
41:22Oh, boy.
41:22We've got ourselves a quarterback controversy right about now.
41:27But here's the problem.
41:29Fitzmagic has two different sides.
41:31He has the Fitzmagic side and he has this doo-doo side that you see once every four games.
41:37Picked off ball as they tried to hurry to play.
41:39I loved the way he competed.
41:41I liked him as a person.
41:42I liked his swag.
41:43But when you have an old quarterback in here, the organization's not really going anywhere.
41:48And then when Jameis came back, then it kind of created this yo-yo effect a little bit that the Buccaneers really didn't overcome towards the end of that season.
41:57It was just up and down, up and down, up and down.
42:02So we decided it's time to make a change again.
42:05No one seemed surprised that the Bucs head coach, Derek Cutter, is out of a job today.
42:10There needed to be change.
42:11It had to come from somebody.
42:12So, I mean, you start at the head and you work your way down, I guess.
42:15I met with the owners and they asked me to put a list together.
42:19And on that list, I had Bruce Arians with a question mark.
42:25And they said, do we know if B.A. would be interested?
42:28And I said, I really don't.
42:30And I didn't know much about Bruce.
42:32So I went online and I realized that there was a show that followed Bruce called All or Nothing.
42:37I got about ten seconds into the first episode and I started getting goosebumps.
42:42And he says, as far as goals go, we have one.
42:48Putting a fucking ring on our finger.
42:50Everybody cool?
42:52I paused it.
42:54And I said, this is our guy.
42:56At the time of the coaching search, Bruce Arians had been retired.
43:00And Jason had a relationship with Bruce from his days in Arizona.
43:06He was here earlier that year working for CBS.
43:09And he had told me how much he loved his job and how, you know, there was no stress.
43:13And so I didn't know if he would be interested.
43:16I literally walked out of that meeting with the owners and I get a text from B.A. and said, hey, bro, keep me in mind.
43:24So I guess he was interested.
43:27The conversation started with my son Jake, who's my agent.
43:30And, you know, he said, dad, what about Tampa Bay?
43:33We had Jameis in the 10th grade in our football camp in Birmingham.
43:37Loved him.
43:38Knew how talented he was, how hard a worker he was.
43:41Next thing I know, Todd Bowles is available.
43:44Byron Lefkowitz is available.
43:45Keith Armstrong is available.
43:4718 of my coaches were available.
43:49I took that as a sign.
43:52So when you do these coaching interviews, they have their books, they have their binders.
43:56I went and picked B.A. up at the hotel we had him at.
44:01And I said, do you have any books or anything?
44:03He goes, everything's right here, baby.
44:06He could be himself.
44:06He could be this larger-than-life character.
44:09You know, there was swear words coming out.
44:11Motherfuckers ain't playing good enough to get a goddamn penalty.
44:14One of the questions that the owners asked, what is your main tentpole in your coaching style?
44:21And he, without wasting any time, says, fucking accountability.
44:26Guys don't have to like each other, but they have to be accountable to each other.
44:30The decisions they make on and off the field affect all of us.
44:34And if those decisions are being made to win the championship, then we got a problem.
44:40The Buccaneers will have a different face of the franchise in 2019.
44:45The Tampa Bay Buccaneers finalizing a deal with Bruce Arians to become the next head coach of the Bucs.
44:53What's up, brother?
44:56I'm ready.
44:58Hopefully, they can flip the script in 2019.
45:01I think we have the core here to win quickly.
45:05I'm not about building.
45:07I'm about reloading.
45:08Drop, step, and run.
45:14Drop, step, and run.
45:15Good ball.
45:15Good ball.
45:15Good ball.
45:16When we did our homework on the roster, Jason had already built the core to have a Mike Evans.
45:24Mike Evans snags another one.
45:26Have a Chris Godwin, Ali Marpet, Levante David.
45:31And what Vita brings is just fantastic.
45:34One of my favorite of all time is Jason Pierre-Paul.
45:36Adding Shaq Barrett from the Denver Broncos, one of the classiest guys I've ever coached.
45:42And the other guy that we added that year was Ndamukong Suu.
45:46Really core, hard-nosed players.
45:50And that permeates throughout your locker room about toughness.
45:53You have a popular motto, no risk it, no biscuit.
45:57I don't, I just, it's just the way I've lived my life.
45:59Touchdown Tampa Bay!
46:03We are going to pressure people on defense.
46:05We're going to take high risk, high reward chances.
46:10We started off hot.
46:12We showed, we showed the world that, that we can win some, some key football games.
46:16I threw a lot of touchdowns to Mike Evans.
46:18I remember they sent the cover zero blitz.
46:21I faked the trap and I let it go early because I'm about to get clobbered.
46:24And Mike Evans just finds a way to run up on that ball and scores like a 60-yard touchdown.
46:31The no risk it, no biscuit is something we've never experienced before.
46:35There were times you'd say, gee, I don't know if I agree with this.
46:37And then you'd see such success.
46:39It's like, okay, you know what he's doing.
46:42Unfortunately, though, in his first year with Jameis, he also got a lot of turnovers.
46:47Jameis had the ability to put it in a pigeonhole.
46:50Sometimes that's a great thing for a quarterback.
46:53Sometimes it's not because you think he can get in that pigeonhole every single time.
46:59He probably should have took sacks more.
47:02Just take the sack, live to play another down.
47:04And he didn't have that in his, like, mindset.
47:07He just was wired different.
47:08Like, I have to make this play.
47:11They're 7-7 going into the last two games.
47:14They had an outside chance for the playoffs.
47:17They lose to Houston at home.
47:23Last game of the year.
47:25First snap of overtime.
47:27It's picked off, intercepted, game is over.
47:31Bucs finish 7-9.
47:34After the game, Bruce Arians walking off the field was his longtime assistant, Tom Mort.
47:40And he looks at Tom Mort and he says, well, that's it.
47:44What it meant was, that's it for Jameis Winston.
47:46He was no longer going to be the quarterback in Tampa Bay.
47:50Became the first quarterback in NFL history for his last pass and first pass for organization to be both pick sixes.
47:59Could we save Jameis?
48:04I don't think there's any doubt.
48:05We would have made him much better.
48:07And he'd have gotten better the second year.
48:09But as an organization, you owe it to the owners, you owe it to the rest of your teammates to see what's behind door number two.
48:18Jameis Winston.
48:26Your McCoy interview.
48:28ABC Mark.
48:29Chris Sims, take one.
48:30Levante David, take three.
48:32Marker.
48:34Last question we ask.
48:36Greatest buck of all time.
48:38Who is it?
48:39You can only pick one.
48:40Gosh.
48:41You're an asshole for asking this question.
48:43The greatest book of all time has to be Derrick Brooks.
48:52It's down to two in Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks, right?
48:57It's one of those two right there.
48:59Probably go Derrick Brooks.
49:01Derrick Brooks played his entire career as a Buccaneer.
49:05He went through the transition from wearing the creamsicles
49:10into the new generation of the uniforms and the turnaround
49:15that created what the Bucs ended up becoming.
49:18I'm going to hear it from one or the other, no matter who I pick here.
49:24I guess I'll go with Derrick Brooks.
49:27It's very, very rare when he's the player of the year.
49:31Get all the interceptions that he did, get all the tackles that he did,
49:34make all the pros, make all the pro bowls on a consistent basis.
49:38He was a little bit of, like, the quarterback of the defense.
49:42I felt like he embodied everything
49:44that the Buccaneers wanted their players to be,
49:48what the Glazer family wanted their players to be.
49:51Never got in trouble.
49:53Family man, everything about him is what the Bucs represented.
49:57If I have to pick one, I got to go with Derrick Brooks.
50:00I got to go with Derrick Brooks.
50:30Save me.
50:32Lord knows I've been crazy.
50:34Lord knows I've been wasting time.
50:35Now I'm back on my grind to make peace.
50:37Take heat, take the league.
50:39No fairy tales, no make-believe.
50:41This the time when you make do or take the reins to tame the beast.
50:45Save me.
50:46Save me your time.
50:47Stay on your toes.
50:48Save me.
50:49And pray for mine.
50:50I'm saving my soul.
