I've seen this scenerio too many times in my career.  Teams, companies not willing to keep talent worth keeping.  Making the neceassry moves to ensure it happens.  What I'm seeing over at One Bucdom is concerning to say the least. 

     Example #1- Monte leaving.  No fault of the Bucs.  He wanted to coach his last years with son, Lane.  Blood is thicker than water.  I wish Monte and Lane luck - they'll need it.

     Example #2- New Bucs Defensive Coordinator Raheem Morris interviewing for Denver's Head Coach.  This is why they named Raheem D-Coordinator before the end of the season.  In bettering the hopes they could keep him around.  It may not work. 

    Example #3- This may be the most critical departure of all.  Pro Souting Director Mark Dominik on KC's radar screen as GM.  He is, without question, and has been for at least  two years, the best kept secret in football.  Dominik's abilities to find pro talent is among the best in the business.  Why would you want to let him get away. 

    Imagine Example #2 and #3 happening.  Lights out a major blow to the organization.  I do hope the Glazers are keeping an eye on the ball here. 

    Let's dream and play fantasy owner here for a moment, given the present landscape that Jon Gruden and Bruce Allen will be around at least one more season.  What would I do?  For one, I would elevate Dominik to EXEC VP, Player Personnel.  He would be my needed insurance for GM.  Does Dominik understand the 'cap" stuff Allen does?  Don't really care.  I'll get someone who does if need be.  I want my GM to know talent, and able to exercise his expertise.  It's called accountability.

    As for Raheem- I would make him Asst. Head Coach-D-Coordinator.  He is a future Head Coach in-waiting.

    Third:- I would go get a true offensive coordinator.  This won't sit well with Jon Gruden.  But as a 'fantasy" owner, 9-7 doesn't sit well with me.   Never will. 

    All I'm saying here is this to the Glazers.  If you feel as strongly about Morris and Dominik as I would in your place, make it happen.  As an owner, I would be willing to put my instincts on the line.  Are you willing to do the same?   Dream over.
