Moving up the coaching ladder is just a part of the life of NFL coaches, so it surprises me to see all these teams block their coaches from interviewing. Maybe it means they aren't really interested in that position and the team is saving face for them. Either way, it doesn't reflect positively on the Buccaneers franchise.
