New Bucs defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan says he will be running Greg Schiano’s defense. But Sheridan will be the one calling the plays.

In an interview that will air on NBC SportsTalk, Schiano said that he trusts Sheridan to handle gameday duties to free Schiano up for managing the team.

Asked about the perception the Bucs were ready to spend a lot in free agency, Schiano said the team has always been ready to spend. But they want to spend smart.

Longtime Buc Ronde Barber and Schiano will sit down to discuss Barber’s future after the Combine. Schiano sounded open to having Barber back on the team.
