1 One buccaneer place They grace the Bay area skyline as twin monuments to the power and passion of professional football: Raymond James Stadium, The Crown Jewel of the NFL, and now its partner in excellence, One Buccaneer Place, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers new training facility. Within walking distance of the stadium, the Buccaneers new home is already being touted as the standard by which all future sports facilities will be measured. No effort was spared in making this the most expansive facility in the NFL, equipped with every modern amenity and the latest tools of the profession. Opening to rave reviews among league insiders last summer, it has made Tampa the preferred destination for free agent players, prospective coaches and administrators. The new team headquarters is a combination of function, style and space - much, much more space than the Buccaneers have ever enjoyed. The facility encompasses 145,155 square feet covering 14.2 acres and includes three practice fields behind the main buildings. The Buccaneers have used that space to raise the bar in every category of team preparation, from a 7,000-square-foot locker room to a weight room building that measures more than 16,000 square feet. Add in a 4,000-squarefoot team auditorium, a remarkably-equipped team dining room and countless other features and you have, hands down, the best facility in the NFL. The new facility gives our players, coaches and staff an unparalleled environment in which to work, said Buccaneers Executive Vice President Joel Glazer. Stylistically, the signature of the new facility is its spectacular entrance, which is adorned with the world s largest football. The sleek steeland-glass construct is five stories tall, point to point, and angles against the main building as if it were on a tee, ready to start the game. The two-story main building stretches away to both sides of the football, fronted by appealing walls of glass that call to mind the most notable exterior feature of Raymond James Stadium. Inside, the building is state-of-the-art in every way, from the rehabilitation pools in the training room to fully-integrated video equipment in every meeting room and coach s office. It is, simply, the ideal place to build a championship football team. We were already playing in the NFL s best stadium and working for owners who are completely dedicated to winning, said Head Coach Jon Gruden. Now we are working, practicing and preparing every day in a stateof-the-art facility that has everything we need. This represents an exciting time to be associated with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

4 Administration MALCOLM GLAZER OWNER/PRESIDENT When Malcolm Glazer triumphantly hoisted the Lombardi Trophy on January 26, 2003 after his Tampa Bay Buccaneers emphatically defeated the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII, his celebratory stance and smile signified to a world-wide audience that the Buccaneers had indeed arrived. That world championship the franchise s first in its then 27-year history marked the fulfillment of a vow by Glazer and his family to not only restore the long-lost success of Tampa s much-beloved franchise, but in fact to surpass any and all previous standards by capturing the team s first World Championship. Glazer and the Buccaneers helped wipe away years of futility experienced by the team, its players and their fans in fulfilling that promise. The club continues to be one of the most successful in the league under his leadership. Among the vanguard of the business elite, Glazer has, through his dedication and diligence, helped mold the Buccaneers into a model franchise, one respected leaguewide and one other sports franchises endeavor to emulate. Since being purchased by Glazer on January 16, 1995, the Buccaneers franchise has experienced a dramatic upswing in its fortunes, posting a.521 winning percentage, earning six playoff berths and capturing its first Super Bowl championship. In 2005, the team notched its 100th overall victory with the Glazers at the helm. Prior to the Glazer family s ownership, the Buccaneers won just 87 games in 19 seasons, posting a.300 winning percentage. Under Glazer s watch, the Buccaneers six playoff appearances since 1997 are tied for third-most in the NFL. Prior to Glazer s arrival, the franchise advanced to the postseason just three times in the previous 19 years, from The drive to the Super Bowl title began when he made the controversial and courageous decision to hire Jon Gruden as the Buccaneers seventh head coach in club history on February 18, Gruden, one of the rising coaching stars in the National Football League, became the youngest head coach in NFL history to win a Super Bowl. He was also the first non-rookie head coach in the history of the NFL to lead his team to the Super Bowl in his first season with a new team. Tampa Bay also eclipsed the club record for wins in a regular season with 12 in In fact, the top five single-season win totals in club history (12 in 2002, 11 in 2005, 11 in 1999, 10 in 2000 and 10 in 1997) have all come under Glazer s helm, and Tampa Bay was the only team in the league to play in the postseason every year from 1999 to The 2005 campaign saw the Buccaneers claim their second NFC South Division title in four years, the fifth division crown in franchise history. The Buccaneers have an record since the start of the 1997 season, a winning percentage of.544 that ranks in the top five in the NFC over that span. The dominating Buccaneers defense ranked in the NFL s Top 10 for nine consecutive years from , then the longest streak in the league and tied for the second-longest streak in the NFL since Glazer also continued to upgrade off the field, hiring Bruce Allen, a veteran of four decades in both professional and collegiate football, as the third general manager in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history on January 9, Allen, the 2002 NFL Executive of the Year, was reunited with Gruden after spending the previous nine seasons ( ) with the Oakland Raiders, helping guide the Raiders to three AFC West championships, two appearances in the AFC Championship Game and a berth in Super Bowl XXXVII. Outside of the X s and O s, Mr. Glazer is why we re here, said Pro Bowl FB Mike Alstott. He came in and built the franchise up, allowed us to get some players in here that cared about winning. It has to start from the owner if you re going to get anywhere and be competitive in this league. With his first Super Bowl title in hand, Glazer has his sights set on continued success and that drive led to another significant improvement. On March 17, 2004, the Buccaneers unveiled plans for their new, 145,155 square-foot state-of-the-art training center, promising a world-class facility. The new facility, considered the largest free standing training structure of its kind in professional sports according to industry sources, opened to rave reviews in August of 2006 following training camp. When it opened last summer, NFL Insiders were calling it, hands down, the finest training facility in the NFL. The spectacular and innovative facility includes a breathtaking entrance, which features the world s largest football towering nearly five stories tall. It was built on the former Tampa Bay Center mall site across the street from Raymond James Stadium. The facility provides the ideal training environment to continue Tampa Bay s tradition of winning championships. Just like our stadium, our new training facility and administrative offices are the finest in the NFL, Glazer says. To ensure that our facility would be the best, we sent our football and administrative staffers to visit what we felt were the best NFL training facilities and, in some cases, the best col-

5 legiate facilities in the country. We instructed our people to take notes and photographs, and to design their respective areas the way they wanted them to be once the facility was finished. The information our people returned with was amazing. We then took that information, presented it to the architects, and let them create the NFL s best training facility. Known among his league peers as an innovative thinker, Glazer has infused his team and employees with the determination and dedication to be the best in the NFL. Glazer s commitment to building a championship organization has provided the foundation for continued success on and off the field. That success has resulted in a level of popularity and support that is unmatched in franchise history. Glazer has successfully constructed a multi-faceted plan, which calls for stable ownership, a talented coaching staff, knowledgeable personnel executives and a solid business partnership within the Tampa/St. Petersburg communities. The most visible aspect of this plan s success is Tampa Bay s state-of-the-art Raymond James Stadium, which has been dubbed the Crown Jewel of the NFL. Raymond James Stadium offers an unmatched game-day atmosphere for fans and players alike. Since it opened in 1998, every regular season and playoff game at the stadium has been a sellout, and the Buccaneers boast a record (.649 winning percentage) at home. In the fall of 2006, FoxSports.com named Raymond James Stadium the best in the National Football League. In addition, the stadium was rated as having the best grass turf in the League in 2006, according to a biennial survey conducted of the league s players. The home of the Buccaneers has also ranked first in the four previous surveys 1998, 2000, 2002 and 2004 since RJS opened in Additionally, Glazer devoted a significant amount of time working to make the organization more fan-friendly by greatly expanding fan activities at Buccaneer home games through the formation of the club s special events department. His mandate to increase player and coach visibility in the community was reflected in the more than 700 appearances made by Buccaneer players, coaches and front office officials last year, including nationally-acclaimed programs such as LB Derrick Brooks Brooks Bunch trips throughout the world. It is important for us to succeed on the field, but I want us to be good citizens in our community as well, Glazer says. We are role models. Children and adults look up to us. I want us to set the right example. Glazer s input has been sought on the league level as well, as evidenced by his position on the NFL s Finance Committee. He has also played a major role in Tampa becoming a host for the Super Bowl on several occasions. The Bay area was awarded the 2009 Super Bowl in May 2005, marking the second time during Glazer s ownership the area will welcome the world s most spectacular event. Glazer played an enormous role in helping to land each of the Super Bowls to Raymond James Stadium. I think it is the fact that the Glazers are tremendous team players within the league. Since they took ownership of the team, they have made it into a model franchise. They won the Super Bowl. They have been part of the community partnership presenting the last great Super Bowl in Tampa. I think the community s investment in a world-class stadium. But the friendship and the hospitality and the track record of the three prior Super Bowls in Tampa, coupled with this partnership here between the team and the community, obviously that is what did it. Those are the critical components. Former NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue on the Glazer family and Tampa winning the bid to host Super Bowl XLIII in February of 2009 During the 1999 offseason, Glazer launched the much-anticipated Glazer Family Foundation, which is dedicated to assisting charitable and educational causes in the Tampa Bay community. In its eight years of existence, the Foundation has donated nearly $3 million in programs, tickets, grants and in-kind contributions. The Glazer Family Foundation has been supporting the NFL Y.E.T. Centers, donating grant money to more than 130 organizations, providing 1,050,000 Buccaneer bookmarks to public libraries throughout seven Bay area counties and supplying 10,500 backpacks to more than 40 organizations for its back-to-school program. The foundation s signature program is the one Glazer is most proud of: The Cheering You On Program, which has distributed more than 211,000 teddy bears to hospitalized children throughout central Florida. Administration

6 In July of 2006, the Glazer Family donated more than $40,000 in vision screening equipment to the Hillsborough and Pinellas County school systems. The vision program will continue by supporting vision testing programs in the school districts of two counties within the Greater Tampa Bay Area each year. In 2007, the foundation donated $50,000 in equipment to Sarasota and Pasco county schools. There are also future plans for the initiative to provide equipment to other Bay area school districts. Glazer s philanthropic and charitable activities have also included the Tampa Bay Sports Commission, an organization that promotes amateur sports activities. Glazer has committed $2 million dollars to the Commission. A true American success story, Glazer began working in his father s watch-parts business at the age of eight. When Glazer was 15, his father died and the son assumed responsibility for the family business and expanded it. In 2005, Glazer purchased the world s most popular and valuable sports team, Manchester United, for more than $1.5 billion. The club captured the Premier League title in May of In addition, Glazer owns, has owned or has been the largest shareholder of a diverse portfolio of international holdings and public companies, including: Shopping Centers, Zapata Corporation, Houlihan s Restaurant Chain, Harley Davidson, Formica, Tonka, Specialty Equipment and Omega Protein. A resident of Palm Beach, Florida, Malcolm Glazer was born in Rochester, New York. He and his wife, Linda, have six children and 13 grandchildren..

7 Malcolm Glazer s Reconstruction of the Buccaneers In 1995, Malcolm Glazer paid a record price for a professional football team that had a 19-year winning percentage of.307. Nevertheless, he predicted success on the field; in fact, practically his first words uttered as new owner of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were, We expect to be winners. Eight years later, the Buccaneers reached the top of the NFL world with their first Super Bowl victory on January 26, 2003 over the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII. The team has enjoyed one of the most remarkable turnarounds in recent sports history. Below is a chronology of the events that led to the Buccaneers being termed a model franchise in the NFL. Just months after buying the team, Glazer announces that his first priority is to build a new stateof-the-art stadium in the Tampa Bay area. On January 22, 1996, Glazer hires Tony Dungy as the sixth head coach in team history, proclaiming the former Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator as not only one of the finest coaches, but one of the finest people in the NFL. Glazer s words seem prophetic as Dungy directs the team to a 10-6 record in 1997 and a then club-record 11-5 mark in 1999 en route to Tampa Bay s first NFC Central Division title in 18 years. On April 9, 1997, the Buccaneers unveil new uniforms sporting primary colors of red and pewter. The team s new look is enthusiastically embraced by players and fans. In his continuing efforts to transform the organization into one of the league s model franchises, Glazer undertakes a complete overhaul of the team s front office in 1996, greatly expanding the sales and marketing staffs to meet the team s growing demands. Glazer shows his long-term commitment to bringing a championship to Tampa Bay by extending the contracts of key football personnel in Beginning with a new five-year deal for Dungy, Glazer also locks up General Manager Rich McKay and cornerstone player DT Warren Sapp. The Bucs then sign FB Mike Alstott, LB Derrick Brooks and S John Lynch, among others, to long-term deals. Glazer and his sons open Raymond James Stadium in grand style with a victory over the Chicago Bears before a crowd of 66,321 fans. After trailing 15-0 at halftime, the Buccaneers storm back with 27 unanswered points to defeat the Bears. Tampa Bay s win is the first of 32 in 42 games over five seasons at RJS. After signing Pro Bowl linemen Jeff Christy and Randall McDaniel to shore up the offensive line, Glazer gives McKay the go-ahead to trade both 2000 first-round picks to the New York Jets for WR Keyshawn Johnson. The Buccaneers then sign Johnson to an eight-year contract. Tampa Bay lands two of the biggest names on the free-agent market in 2001, signing Pro Bowlers QB Brad Johnson and DE Simeon Rice to five-year contracts. The Buccaneers name Jon Gruden the seventh coach in team history on February 18, Tampa Bay completes the busiest offseason in team history by signing Pro Bowl WR Keenan McCardell on June 8, McCardell joins several other acquisitions, including RB Michael Pittman, WR Joe Jurevicius, Pro Bowl TE Ken Dilger, G Kerry Jenkins and T Roman Oben. The Buccaneers advance to their first-ever Super Bowl with a convincing victory in the NFC Championship Game over the Philadelphia Eagles in the final game at Veterans Stadium on January 19, Tampa Bay defeats the Oakland Raiders, 48-21, on January 26, 2003, in Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego s Qualcomm Stadium to give the Buccaneers their first-ever Super Bowl title. Bruce Allen, the 2002 NFL Executive of the Year, is named the third General Manager in club history on January 9, Allen joins Tampa Bay after spending the previous nine seasons ( ) with the Oakland Raiders, helping the team to three division titles, two AFC Championship Game appearances and a berth in Super Bowl XXXVII. Tampa Bay reclaims one of the greatest players in club history by naming Doug Williams personnel executive for the team on February 12, A former first-round draft pick by Tampa Bay in the 1978 NFL Draft (17th overall), Williams led the Buccaneers to the first three playoff appearances in team history (1979, 1981 and 1982), including an appearance in the 1979 NFC Championship Game in just the club s fourth year of existence. Tampa Bay defeats the New Orleans Saints in the final game of the 2005 regular season (1/1/06) to claim its second NFC South division title in four seasons. The division title is the fifth in Buccaneers history, and third in 11 years under Glazer. In August 2006, the Buccaneers open their new, 145,155 square-foot world class training facility, featuring its signature five-story high football at the entranceway. According to industry sources, the new facility is the largest free standing training structure of its kind in professional sports. Administration

8 Administration BRYAN GLAZER EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT Executive Vice President of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Bryan Glazer has helped revitalize the Buccaneers franchise and brand. Possessing an acute business acumen, Glazer has shaped the Buccaneers into one of the most recognizable and successful franchises in the National Football League as he enters his 13th season with the club. Working with his brothers, Edward and Joel, Bryan has been instrumental in the team s ascension through the NFL ranks and transformation into one of the most recognizable teams in the league. His innovative approach to business and proclivity for thinking outside the box has resulted in the creation of the club s Pewter Partners program, which rewards Buccaneers sponsors with deeper advertising packages and unprecedented customer service. Glazer also worked closely with designers and graphic artists from NFL Properties in New York and Los Angeles who developed the Buccaneers new logo in The new design, which was based on research of Caribbean buccaneer history, marked the first significant change to the team logo and uniform in franchise history. Upon its successful unveiling on April 9, 1997, the logo garnered rave reviews from such media outlets as USA Today, Fox Sports, The New York Times and The Washington Post. Perhaps the ultimate testament to the effectiveness of the logo, which consists of a skull and crossed swords on a blood-red, wind swept battle flag, is that it became and remains wildly popular among Buccaneers fans. It exemplifies the brand of football played in Tampa Bay. In addition to his myriad of business-oriented achievements, Glazer also has been involved in a number of vital football-related efforts directly related to the on-the-field success experienced by the Buccaneers, certainly including but not limited to the team s first Super Bowl championship. Glazer and his entire family were on hand as Tampa Bay claimed its first NFL title with a victory over Oakland in Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego on January 26, The Buccaneers, who were making their first appearance in the NFL s championship game, also claimed the first-ever NFC South title in 2002, then the fourth division crown in team history. Tampa Bay also claimed the 2005 NFC South title after an 11-5 regular season resume. During the 2002 offseason, Bryan worked with brothers, Edward and Joel, in hiring one of the rising coaching stars in the NFL; Jon Gruden. Glazer, and his family, showed their commitment to building a championship team for the Tampa Bay community in hiring Gruden, who became the youngest head coach in NFL history to win a Super Bowl. Gruden was also the first non-rookie head coach in the history of the NFL to lead his team to the Super Bowl in his first season with a new team. Glazer continued to upgrade off the field, hiring Bruce Allen; veteran of four decades in both professional and collegiate football, on January 9, 2004 as the third general manager in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history. Allen, the 2002 NFL Executive of the Year, was reunited with Bucs head coach Jon Gruden after spending the previous nine seasons ( ) with the Oakland Raiders, helping guide the Raiders to three AFC West championships, two appearances in the AFC Championship Game and a berth in Super Bowl XXXVII. Glazer worked diligently on helping the organization prepare for the next step in the future. The new, 145,155 square-foot state-of-the-art headquarters and training facility, located across the street from Raymond James Stadium, is the finest in the National Football League. The signature of the new facility is its breathtaking entrance, which features the world s largest football towering nearly five stories tall. The facility opened to rave reviews in August of 2006 following training camp. It is considered the largest free standing training structure of its kind in professional sports according to industry sources. An instrumental force in his family s purchase of the Buccaneers in 1995, Glazer has been a driving force in improving every aspect of the club s influence both nationally and in the Tampa Bay region. His commitment to the organization and the local community culminated with the club s effort in constructing the finest stadium facility in professional sports Raymond James Stadium, which successfully hosted Super Bowl XXXV in January 2001 and will play host to Super Bowl XLIII in Glazer played an integral role in helping to lure the 2009 game to the Bay area, speaking to NFL owners on behalf of the team and the Tampa Bay community at the NFL League meetings in May Glazer worked alongside stadium architects and contractors during the construction of Raymond James Stadium to produce his vision of what the premier stadium in the NFL should resemble. Glazer oversaw all phases of the construction of Raymond James Stadium, where the Buccaneers have notched an impressive record. The state-of-the-art stadium features such amenities as 19-inch wide seats with chairbacks, cupholders, and armrests, concourse televisions, full color replay boards at both ends of the stadium, one of the most sophisticated scoreboard systems in all of professional sports and the centerpiece of the stadium luxurious club seats and air-conditioned club lounges that make Tampa Bay s stadium the envy of the NFL. Along with brothers Edward and Joel, Bryan oversees the day-to-day operation of the entire franchise, including financial operations, marketing and communications. Since the purchase of the team, he has devoted a significant amount of his efforts to such massive projects as the development and construction of Raymond James Stadium, and the restructuring and expansion of the Buccaneers staff.

9 Since Glazer assumed his current role with the club, the Buccaneers can boast a (.521) regularseason record and five playoff wins, easily the most successful stretch in club annals. Tampa Bay reached the playoffs for the fourth consecutive time in 2002, the only team in the league to head to the postseason all four years. In addition, the Buccaneers six playoff appearances since 1997 are tied for thirdmost in the NFL over that span. Prior to Glazer s arrival, the franchise advanced to the postseason just three times in the previous 19 years, from A native of Rochester, New York, the 42-year-old Glazer serves on the NFL s Digital Media Committee as appointed by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and he makes countless community and charitable appearances on behalf of the organization. He is also on the Board of Directors Advisory Council for Ronald McDonald House. Glazer earned his bachelor s degree in broadcast communications from American University in 1986 prior to completing his law degree from Whittier College School of Law in Glazer also serves on the Board of Manchester United, which captured the Premier League title in May of JOEL GLAZER EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT The fast-paced and ultra-competitive environment that characterizes the National Football League is a perfect match for Joel Glazer s savvy management style and attention to detail. Combined these attributes have proven integral to the Buccaneers transformation into one of the most successful franchises in the league. Now in his 13th season as Executive Vice President of the Buccaneers, Joel, along with his brothers, Bryan and Edward, oversees the day-to-day operations of the franchise, ensuring the club achieves and maintains the highest levels of success in all aspects. His leadership has been more than validated evidenced by the Buccaneers.521 winning percentage, six playoff berths and first NFL title since all of which have come under Glazer ownership. That unprecedented level of success paints a stark contrast to the meager.300 winning percentage posted by the team prior to its purchase by the Glazer family. As Executive Vice President, Glazer s keen insight and tireless dedication continue to enhance the reputation of the Buccaneers. Glazer has passionately spearheaded a number of vital efforts throughout the years that have not only helped shape the club into a perennial contender but a model NFL franchise as well. Glazer had a single vision, shared by all members of the Glazer family when they acquired the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1995: build a franchise from the ground up, one that would become one of the most respected and successful franchises in the NFL. That vision was realized when Tampa Bay claimed its first NFL title with a victory over Oakland in Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego on January 26, The Buccaneers, who were making their first appearance in the NFL s championship game, also claimed the first-ever NFC South title in 2002, then the fourth division crown in team history. Tampa Bay also claimed the 2005 NFC South title after an 11-5 regular season performance. During the 2002 offseason, Joel worked with brothers, Bryan and Edward, in orchestrating the now famous midnight deal with Al Davis that brought Jon Gruden to Tampa. Glazer, and his family, showed their commitment to building a championship team for the Tampa Bay community by hiring Gruden, who became the youngest head coach in NFL history to win a Super Bowl. Gruden was also the first non-rookie head coach in the history of the NFL to lead his team to the Super Bowl in his first season with a new team. Glazer also led the search to reshape the Buccaneers football front office by hiring Bruce Allen, a veteran of four decades in both professional and collegiate football, as the third general manager in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history on January 9, Allen, the 2002 NFL Executive of the Year, was reunited with Bucs head coach Jon Gruden after spending the previous nine seasons ( ) with the Oakland Raiders, helping guide the Raiders to three AFC West championships, two appearances in the AFC Championship Game and a berth in Super Bowl XXXVII. Glazer, promising a world-class facility, led the design for the current cornerstone of the franchise, a 145,155 square-foot state-of-the-art headquarters and training facility. Located across the street from Raymond James Stadium, the facility is the finest in the National Football League. The signature of the new facility is its breathtaking entrance, which features the world s largest football towering nearly five stories tall. Considered the largest free standing training structure of its kind in professional sports according to industry sources, One Buccaneer Place opened to rave reviews in August of 2006 following training camp. After successfully negotiating an agreement to acquire the Buccaneers in 1995, Glazer, along with his brothers Bryan and Edward, began the day-to-day duties of overseeing all aspects of the organization. Since Glazer assumed his current role with the club, the Buccaneers can boast a (.521) regular-season record and five playoff wins, easily the most successful stretch in club annals. Tampa Bay reached the playoffs for the fourth consecutive time in 2002, the only team in the league to head to the postseason all four years. In addition, the Buccaneers six playoff appearances since 1997 are tied for Administration

10 third-most in the NFL over that span. Prior to Glazer s arrival, the franchise advanced to the postseason just three times in the previous 19 years, from Following the purchase of the team in 1995, Glazer directed his attention on vital elements of building a successful franchise, namely the front office and stadium. After completely reorganizing the front office, recruiting talented people from a variety of backgrounds, Glazer worked tirelessly alongside Bryan and former General Manager Rich McKay to build a community consensus for local approval of what would become Raymond James Stadium. Glazer and his brother set out to design a stadium deemed worthy of a first-class organization, thereby creating a winning environment and revolutionizing fan experience and comfort at a stadium. They visited approximately 25 different stadiums, drawing from their experiences as fans, ultimately shaping every detail of RJS. A massive undertaking, the stadium opened on time and budget to rave reviews, earning nods as the crown jewel of the NFL. Raymond James Stadium featured amenities never seen before in modern stadiums, including the 24 x92 BucVision video boards now emulated at all new stadiums. However, the true signature of Raymond James Stadium is Buccaneer Cove, featuring the 103 larger-than-life replica pirate ship. With the pieces of the puzzle in place, as well as a state-of-the art new stadium, the stage was set to put a final stamp on the rebirth of the franchise. The team needed a new look. Glazer, along with Bryan, worked closely with NFL Properties to create a dynamic look that would illustrate the attitude and class of the franchise. The result was a complete logo and uniform redesign and Buccaneers merchandise sales immediately soared throughout the country, vaulting the Buccaneers into the top of NFL merchandise sales almost immediately. On the field, the new look helped create the attitude of a winner. Throughout the construction of RJS, Glazer created the sales and marketing strategies and campaigns that led to record season ticket club seat, luxury suite and group sales. In addition to helping create the club s prestigious corporate Pewter Partners, Glazer s other duties include overseeing the organization s annual budgets and establishing the club s strategic planning in marketing, community relations, public relations, ticketing and luxury suite relations. Glazer also represents the team at all NFL Owners Meetings. He played an integral role at the 2005 Spring Meetings to help Tampa Bay land the 2009 Super Bowl. The Bay area won the bid for Super Bowl Super Bowl XLIII, marking the fourth Super Bowl for Tampa Bay. Glazer has been very active in the Tampa Bay community. Glazer Family Foundation programs such as Cheering You On, Prevent Blindness and the Ticket Rewards programs are just a few of the programs in which he takes great pride. In addition, Glazer has been an active member of the Super Bowl Task Force, Tampa Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and the Outback Bowl Advisory Committee. Glazer currently sits on the NFL International and NFL Stadium committees. Glazer also serves as Co-Chairman of Manchester United, which captured the Premier League title in May of Glazer, 40, earned his bachelor s degree in interdisciplinary studies from American University in 1989, The Rochester, New York native is married to his wife Angela and has two children. 10 Administration EDWARD GLAZER EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT Forward-thinking Edward Glazer, Executive Vice President of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has instilled a sense of innovation in the club that has helped place it on the cutting edge of technology as well as enhance the overall fan experience. Implementing comprehensive improvements at each level of the organization, Glazer has ensured the Buccaneers remain the most respected NFL franchise on and off the field. Glazer continues to oversee the development, design and construction of Buccaneers.com, the team s official Web site, which the Tampa Bay Advertising Federation recognized as the region s top interactive media effort by awarding it a Best of the Bay Addy Award. The site also earned top honors as the number-one designed Web site in all of professional sports, according to Sports Business Journal magazine.

13 JON GRUDEN HEAD COACH In just five seasons in Tampa Bay, and nine seasons overall as a head coach, Jon Gruden has established himself among the premier coaches in the National Football League. Since arriving in Tampa Bay, Gruden has led the team to the first Super Bowl title in franchise history, along with two division championships. In nine seasons as a head coach, he has compiled an overall record and his teams have captured four division titles. In 2005, Gruden led the Buccaneers to their second NFC South title in four years, becoming the first coach in team history to win two division titles in his first four seasons with the team. Gruden s two division titles tie John McKay for most in team history, and he is also the first coach to win multiple NFC South titles since the division was created in Tampa Bay s 11-5 regular season record in 2005 tied for the second-best mark in franchise history and the club s 6-2 home mark tied for the second-best home slate in franchise history. Gruden, who was named the seventh head coach in Tampa Bay Buccaneers history on February 18, 2002, has led the team to a overall record, including a 3-1 mark in the postseason. On the day he was officially introduced as head coach, Gruden stood in front of a standing-room only crowd at a downtown Tampa hotel on February 20, I m thrilled to be here, and all I can guarantee is a lot of hard work and effort to try to put the Buccaneers into championship form, Gruden said that day. Less than 11 months later, Gruden had more than delivered on his promise. Tampa Bay had claimed its first NFL title with a victory over Oakland in Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego on January 26, The Buccaneers, who were making their first appearance in the NFL s championship game, also claimed the first-ever NFC South title in 2002, then just the fourth division crown in team history. Over that period, the Buccaneers established a club record for victories in a regular season with 12 wins, breaking the previous mark of 11 in 1999, and their 15 overall wins stand as the most for a club in the 31-year history of the franchise. In fact, two of the top three regular season victory totals in franchise history, 12 in 2002 and 11 in 2005, have occurred during the Gruden era. In addition, Gruden became the youngest head coach in NFL history to win a Super Bowl and was also the first non-rookie head coach in the history of the NFL to lead his team to the Super Bowl in his first season with a new team. In the process, Gruden became just the third coach since 1966 to win 40 games before his 40th birthday while also becoming only the third head coach in NFL history to lead a different team to a playoff appearance in consecutive years. We took our time and got the man we really wanted, and we couldn t be more thrilled, said Buccaneers Executive Vice President Bryan Glazer after the hiring. This was one of the most important decisions in the history of this franchise and it certainly paid off in a big way. The Buccaneers offense came together down the stretch, averaging 35.3 points and yards per game in its three postseason contests. Even more impressive was the fact that the offense allowed just one total sack in the postseason after giving up nearly 2.5 per game in the regular season. Under Gruden s watch, former QB Brad Johnson finished first in the NFC and third in the NFL in passer rating and established club single-season records in touchdowns (22), completion percentage (62.3), lowest interception ratio (1.3%) and passer rating (92.9) in He became the first quarterback in team history to lead the NFC in passer rating and also earned a pair of NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors, becoming the first offensive player in club history to accomplish that feat. On the other side of the ball, the 2002 Buccaneers defense made a case as one of the greatest in NFL history. Tampa Bay became the first team since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the league in total defense, fewest points allowed and total interceptions in the same season. Tampa Bay ranked first in the NFL in both total defense (252.8 ypg) and pass defense (155.6 ypg) for the second time in team history. The Buccaneers defense also ranked first in the league in fewest points per game (12.3), opponent passer rating (48.4), interceptions (31), fewest yards per play (4.2) and fewest first downs (236). In 2002, Tampa Bay s defense featured five Pro Bowlers: 2002 NFL Defensive Player of the Year LB Derrick Brooks, S John Lynch, LB Shelton Quarles, NFC Sack Leader DE Simeon Rice and DT Warren Sapp. CB Brian Kelly ranked tied for first in the NFL with eight interceptions in 2002 and Rice ranked first in the NFC and second in the NFL with 15.5 sacks, one sack shy of his career-high of 16.5 sacks. The Buccaneers offensive revival continued in 2003 as the Buccaneers reached all-time franchise season-highs in both total offense (340.8 ypg) and passing offense (237.8 ypg), while ranking in the league s Top 10 in both categories in the same year for just the second time in team history (also 1984). Tampa Bay ranked 10th in total offense and sixth in passing offense, tying for the best final rankings in club history. In fact, the Buccaneers scored at least one offensive touchdown in all 16 games in 2003 for just the third time in franchise history (also 1984 and 1992). The offense also ranked fifth-best in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed with 23. Tampa Bay s defense also remained among the NFL s elite in 2003, continuing its streak in the top 10. The defense ranked fifth in the NFL, marking the seventh consecutive year the defense finished among the NFL s Top 10, the only current team to accomplish that feat. The Buccaneers defensive unit also Administration 13

14 finished third in passing defense, marking the seventh time in the last eight seasons, including three straight, that the club finished in the Top 10 in pass defense. As a rookie in 2004, WR Michael Clayton flourished under Gruden s watch, setting several club rookie records. Clayton, who was named one of five finalists for the PEPSI NFL Rookie of the Year award, ranked fifth all-time in NFL history among rookies with 80 receptions and 1,193 yards. He ranked first on the team and first among all NFL rookie wide receivers with the 80 receptions for 1,193 yards, and established himself as the top rookie receiver in team history in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. The 2004 defense ended the season ranked fifth in the NFL in total defense, marking the third consecutive season the unit ranked in the top five and sixth time in the previous eight years. That showing also marked the eighth consecutive season that the defense finished among the NFL s Top 10. Gruden has long developed some of the league s best signal-callers, and has already tutored seven different starters in his five seasons in Tampa. He had a major impact on former QB Brian Griese, who ranked first in the NFL in completion percentage (69.3%) in 2004, and also set franchise single-season records for passer rating, completion percentage and yards per pass attempt. The 2004 Buccaneers offense set all-time marks for best completion percentage, most yards per pass play, and its 24 touchdown passes ranked second in team history. Griese passed for at least one touchdown in 12 consecutive games from , a new club record. Gruden has also mentored QB Chris Simms, who took over when Griese suffered a season-ending injury against Miami in Simms led Tampa Bay to six wins in its final eight regular season games and his.610 completion percentage ranked fourth-best for a single season in team history. In 2006, Gruden was forced to start three different quarterbacks, with Simms opening the first three contests before being lost for the season following an emergency appendectomy. Rookie sixth-round draft choice quarterback Bruce Gradkowski started 11 contests and statistically established himself among the top rookie signal callers in team history. Gradkowski s 1,661 passing yards, nine touchdowns, 177 completions and 328 attempts in 2006 were all the most by a rookie in franchise history, and he also set an NFL record for the most pass attempts (202) before throwing his second interception of the season. Veteran quarterback Tim Rattay came on to start the final two contests, leading the Bucs to a victory at Cleveland in the road finale. Rookie RB Carnell Cadillac Williams, Tampa Bay s first-round selection in the 2005 NFL Draft, was the consensus 2005 Rookie of the Year after rushing for a Buccaneer single-season rookie-record 1,178 rushing yards. Williams also set a franchise mark with six 100-yard rushing games and he became only the sixth player in team history to rush for at least 1,000 yards in a single season. The 2005 season also extended some impressive trends for the Buccaneer defensive unit. Tampa Bay finished the season as the top-ranked unit in the NFL in total defense, marking the fourth consecutive season the unit has ranked in the top five and seventh time in the last nine years. It also marked the second time in the past four years and third time in team history that the defense finished No. 1 overall, and was the ninth consecutive season that the defense has finished among the NFL s Top 10 in total defense, tied for the second-longest streak in the NFL since Gruden owns a career record in the regular season and a 5-3 mark in the postseason in his nine seasons as a head coach. His 77 victories since 1998 are seventh-most among all NFL coaches over that span and his 61 wins since 2000 are eighth-best in the league. He has also led Tampa Bay to 10 or more wins twice in his first five campaigns, the second-most seasons for a Buccaneers head coach with double digit victories. In Gruden s five seasons in Tampa Bay, the Buccaneer defense has continued its run as the league s most dominant unit in the NFL. Tampa Bay s defense finished the 2005 regular season as the top-ranked unit in the NFL for the second time in a four-year span (also 2002) and ranked in the NFL s Top 10 for nine consecutive seasons ( ), the longest streak in the league at the time and tied for the secondlongest streak in the NFL since The 2005 season marked the fourth consecutive season and the seventh time in the last nine years the unit has ranked in the top five. It was also the second time in five years under Gruden, and third time in team history, that the defense finished No. 1 overall in total defense. Tampa Bay s pass defense has also remained among the league s elite, finishing No. 1 in the NFL in two of the last five seasons, and in the Top 10 in four of five seasons since Gruden s arrival. Prior to his arrival in Tampa, Gruden steered the Raiders to a regular season mark in his four seasons ( ) with the club, including postseason appearances in 2000 and He led Oakland to division titles in each of the final two seasons ( ) and the Raiders ranked seventh in the NFL in total offense, including fourth in passing offense, in Oakland won its first back-to-back AFC West crowns since Under Gruden, the Raiders advanced to the AFC title game in 2000 and lost in a second round playoff game to eventual Super Bowl champion New England following the 2001 campaign.

Five Raiders were named to the 2002 Pro Bowl squad, including WR Tim Brown, who made his ninth trip to Hawaii this past season. CB Charles Woodson made his fourth consecutive trip to the Pro Bowl, while Gannon, who led the AFC with a 95.5 QB rating, headed to Hawaii for the third consecutive season. Gannon was named the game s MVP in each of his last two contests. The Raiders ranked among the NFL s elite in offense, defense and special teams under Gruden s leadership in 2000, advancing to the AFC Championship Game.

22 MONTE KIFFIN Defensive Coordinator 25th NFL Season, 12th with Buccaneers The longest tenured defensive coordinator in the league, Monte Kiffin enters his 25th season in the NFL and 12th with the Buccaneers in Father of the often imitated Tampa Cover 2 defense, Kiffin has established himself as one the NFL s best defensive minds of the modern era. Equal parts talent and scheme, Kiffin s defense has been the NFL s benchmark for more than a decade. The Tampa Cover 2, while often described as simplistic, has remained successful by consistently creating turnovers and pressuring the quarterback utilizing its trademark speed, discipline and cohesiveness. In his 11 seasons ( ) with the Buccaneers, Kiffin s unit has registered 340 takeaways to rank 10th in the NFL while also posting 441 sacks to rank tied for 11th during that span. In 2006, Kiffin had to endure the loss of several starts by three of the defense s main contributors. The Buccaneers best pass rusher, DE Simeon Rice, missed eight contests because of a shoulder injury while shut-down CB Brian Kelly was lost for the season after only two starts because of a foot injury. LB Shelton Quarles, the quarterback of the Buccaneers defense, battled injuries throughout the season and missed a total of four games. Despite the challenges, Kiffin s unit finished the 2006 season strong by totaling 13 sacks and forcing nine turnovers in the last seven games. Additionally, the defense limited opponents to less than 200 yards passing in four of the final seven games. Statistically, Kiffin s defense has been the league s most dominant unit in the NFL during his time at the helm. Tampa Bay s defense finished the 2005 regular season as the top-ranked unit in the NFL for the second time in a four-year span (also 2002) and ranked in the NFL s Top 10 for nine consecutive seasons ( ), the longest streak in the league at the time and tied for the second-longest streak in the NFL since The 2005 season also marked the seventh time in 10 seasons ( ) that the defense finished the year ranked in the top five in the NFL. Additionally, Tampa Bay s defensive unit finished 2005 in the Top 10 in passing defense for the ninth time in 10 seasons, ranking sixth in the NFL. The 2004 season saw the Buccaneers pass defense rank first the NFL after surrendering just yards per game passing. It was the second time Kiffin s group led the league in pass defense, joining the 2002 team. After ranking just 19th against the run in 2004 (123.3 rushing ypg allowed), Kiffin s run defense was dominating in 2005, finishing the season as the sixth-ranked unit in the NFL against the run (94.7 rushing ypg allowed). The 94.7-yard rushing average allowed by the Bucs in 2005 was the second best in team history. The Buccaneers defensive dominance was on display in the 2005 Wild Card playoff contest against the Washington Redskins. Tampa Bay limited the Redskins to 120 total yards of offense, the fewest yards gained by a winning team in a game in NFL playoff history. The catalyst for Tampa Bay s Super Bowl championship in 2002 was Kiffin s suffocating defense that finished the season as the top-ranked unit in the NFL. The Buccaneers became the first team since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the league in total defense (252.8 ypg), fewest points allowed (196) and total interceptions (31). Under Kiffin s command, the Buccaneers were one of only four teams in the NFL to rank in the top 10 in all three defensive categories during the 2002 season, ranking first in pass defense (155.6 ypg) and tied for fifth in rush defense (97.1 ypg). Employing an attacking style that is predicated on speed, Kiffin s unit continued its impressive play in the 2002 postseason, shutting down some of the league s best offenses. During the divisional playoff win against the San Francisco 49ers and the NFC Championship victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay allowed just 16 points. They turned it up a notch in Super Bowl XXXVII, taking center stage in the Buccaneers win over the Oakland Raiders. Tampa Bay recorded a Super Bowl-record five interceptions, including three picks which were returned for touchdowns (also a Super Bowl record) off NFL MVP Rich Gannon. The Buccaneers allowed the Raiders just 269 total yards, including 62 total yards in the first half, and 19 total rushing yards. Tampa Bay s ferocious defensive line posted five sacks, capping off one of the most dominating defensive performances in Super Bowl history. The Buccaneer defense was just as impressive in Boasting four Pro Bowlers and three first-team All-Pro selections, Tampa Bay s defense electrified the league with one of the most dominating defensive stretches in recent memory. The Bucs rallied to win eight of nine games to capture their first NFC Central title in 18 years. In the playoffs, Tampa Bay s defense posted phenomenal performances. The Buccaneers held Washington s second-ranked offense to 157 total yards and no offensive touchdowns in Tampa Bay s divisional playoff win. Both of the Buccaneers scores came off Redskins turnovers. In the NFC Championship Game, Kiffin s lightning-quick defense held the top-ranked Rams offense to 11 points, 22 below their season average. The Buccaneers allowed just three 100-yard rushers in 1999 and set then club single-season marks for fewest opponent first downs (228), fewest opponent rushing yards (1,407), fewest opponent rushes (361) and lowest opponent completion percentage (52.7 percent). As is a trait for any great defense, Kiffin s unit has been proficient at keeping opponents off the scoreboard. The Buccaneers have finished in the NFL s top 10 in points allowed in 10 of the 11 seasons Kiffin has been defensive coordinator and have also allowed the fewest points (2,733) in the NFL since 22 Administration

23 1997. Tampa Bay s defense ranked first in the NFL in points allowed in 2002 (12.3 ppg), fourth in the league in 2003 (16.5 ppg), tied for ninth in 2004 (19.0 ppg) and eighth in 2005 (17.1 ppg). The 196 total points surrendered by the Bucs in 2002 eclipsed the previous team-low of 223 set in Since 1998, the Buccaneers have posted seven shutouts to rank second in the NFL, including a team-record two shutouts in both the 2002 and 2003 seasons. Additionally, the 63 rushing touchdowns surrendered by the Tampa Bay defense since the 2000 season ranks second in the NFL. While Kiffin s defense has been characteristically stingy since his arrival in 1996, it has been its ability to provide an abundance of scoring that routinely distinguishes the unit. The Buccaneers defense scored 30 points en route to the Super Bowl in 2002, led by LB Derrick Brooks four defensive touchdowns. The five defensive touchdowns and four interception returns for touchdowns in 2002 matched team records set in 1981 and Additionally, CB Ronde Barber and Brooks, both who have developed into perennial Pro Bowl players under Kiffin, rank first and second in team history for most touchdowns by a defensive player with nine and seven touchdowns, respectively. The defense has also pieced together some impressive streaks during Kiffin s tenure. From , the Buccaneer defense established an NFL record by posting at least one sack in 69 consecutive games. Tampa Bay also recorded a takeaway in 54 consecutive games, the second-longest streak in the NFL over the previous 20 years, until the defense failed to post a takeaway in Week 15 of the 2003 season. Additionally, the defense registered at least one sack and one takeaway in 50 straight contests, the longest streak in the league since 1963, before the streak was snapped against Green Bay in Week 11 of the 2003 season. Clearly, much of the success of Kiffin s defense can be attributed to the abundance of talent discovered and cultivated under Kiffin. Under Kiffin s guidance, two Buccaneer defenders earned Pro Bowl honors after the 2005 and 2006 seasons, Barber and Brooks. The 2006 selection marked Brooks 10th consecutive selection to the Pro Bowl, tops in team history for most total and consecutive appearances. It also marked Barber s third consecutive and fourth appearance in the all-star game. During Kiffin s tenure, the defense has produced 34 Pro Bowl selections over the last 11 seasons. Prior to that, the Buccaneers defense had just 12 Pro Bowl selections in the previous 20 years. Kiffin has had at least one player named to the Pro Bowl in every season he has served as a defensive coordinator in the NFL (Minnesota, 1991; New Orleans, 1995; Tampa Bay, ). Additionally, Kiffin has had two players earn AP Defensive Player of the Year honors under his tutelage, Brooks in 2002 and DT Warren Sapp in Kiffin came to Tampa Bay after spending the 1995 campaign as the defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints. In 1995, the Saints tied for fourth in the NFL in sacks with 44. Prior to coaching in New Orleans, Kiffin spent four seasons ( ) as an assistant coach for the Minnesota Vikings, serving as defensive coordinator for head coach Jerry Burns in 1991 and as inside linebackers coach for head coach Dennis Green and defensive coordinator Tony Dungy from During that tenure in Minnesota, the Vikings led the league in both total defense and run defense in In 1990, Kiffin tutored the linebackers for the N.Y. Jets under head coach Bruce Coslet and defensive coordinator Pete Carroll. Kiffin originally joined the Vikings as the team s linebackers coach from During that time, he coached standout Viking linebackers Scott Studwell, Chris Doleman and Mike Merriweather. In both 1988 (255.7, 4.3) and 1989 (261.5, 4.1), Minnesota was the league leader in both total defense and yards allowed per play. From , Kiffin coached linebackers for the Buffalo Bills, overseeing players like Darryl Talley and Jim Haslett, who later coached with Kiffin in New Orleans. Kiffin s first professional coaching job came in 1983 as the linebackers coach for the Green Bay Packers under Bart Starr. Kiffin was the head coach at North Carolina State from , compiling a record, including 6-5 marks in 1981 and Former Philadelphia Eagle Pro Bowl WR Mike Quick played for the Wolfpack under Kiffin. From , Kiffin was defensive coordinator for Lou Holtz at Arkansas while also serving as assistant head coach in Arkansas led the nation in scoring defense in Kiffin began his coaching career at Nebraska, where he worked from under both Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne. Kiffin directed a Cornhuskers defense that led Nebraska to consecutive national championships in When Osborne became Nebraska s head coach in 1973, he named Kiffin as his defensive coordinator. As a player, Kiffin was both an offensive and defensive tackle at Nebraska from Following graduation, he sat out the 1964 season because of a knee injury before playing defensive end for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League in Kiffin was involved with the first-ever Buccaneers Coaching Academy in The hands-on clinic for area high school coaches focused on several essential areas of football knowledge and player development. A native of Lexington, Nebraska, Kiffin was that state s High School Athlete of the Year in Monte and his wife, Robin, live in Tampa. They have three children, including daughter Heidi and sons Lane and Chris and three grandchildren, Preston, Landry and Presley. This past offseason, Lane was named as the Head Coach of the Oakland Raiders, becoming the youngest head coach in NFL history. Chris currently serves as a graduate assistant at the University of Mississippi. Administration 23

In his first appointment with Tampa Bay, Muir spent the seasons in the personnel department as a scout. Although Muir has spent the majority of his coaching career tutoring the offensive line, he has also served as a defensive coordinator and defensive line coach on the collegiate and professional levels. He is universally regarded as one of the NFL s finest and most respected instructors of offensive linemen. Joining Tampa Bay in 2002 after seven seasons with the N.Y. Jets ( ), Muir s impact was immediate as he helped lead the Buccaneers to their first world championship in Super Bowl XXXVII. The 2006 season saw Muir s line suffer numerous injuries while protecting three different starting quarterbacks. The anticipated starting offensive line, T Anthony Davis, G Dan Buenning, C John Wade, G Davin Joseph and T Kenyatta Walker, never appeared in a game together. Joseph, a 2006 first-round pick, was injured in practice prior to the season opener, but returned in Week 5 and put together a solid rookie campaign, starting 12 games. Coming off a great rookie season, Buenning struggled with an ankle injury much of the first half of the season and was subsequently lost for the year after tearing his ACL at Dallas on Thanksgiving. Walker, a sixth-year veteran, only started three contests at right tackle before being placed on injured reserve with a knee injury. Davis and Wade were the only anticipated starters to start all 16 games in Muir relied on the versatile G/C Sean Mahan to fill in at both guard spots as he started in 12 games. Muir also oversaw the development of rookie T Jeremy Trueblood, a second-round selection who posted 13 starts while admirably replacing Walker at right tackle. Despite the influx of young talent and numerous injuries, Muir s line only surrendered 33 sacks to rank 15th in the NFL. The 33 sacks were also the second-lowest total given up by the Buccaneers since Additionally, the 25 combined starts for Joseph and Trueblood were tied for third most in the NFL among rookie tandems on the offensive line in Administration 25

26 For the first time in team history, Muir led an offensive line in 2005 that featured the same five starters for all 16 games, one of only three teams in the NFL that could make that claim, including Buenning, who was one of just four rookie offensive linemen in the NFL to start every game in Muir s line was instrumental in the impressive campaign of NFL Rookie of the Year RB Carnell Cadillac Williams, who finished the season by setting a Buccaneers rookie record with 1,178 rushing yards while also rushing for 100 or more yards in a team-record six games in Overall, Muir saw his line help improve the Buccaneers rushing attack from the 29th-ranked rush offense (93.1 ypg rushing) in 2004 to the 14th-ranked unit (114.1 ypg rushing) in In 2004, Muir s offensive line was charged with the task of blocking for three different starting quarterbacks while helping the offense rank 10th in the NFC. QB Brian Griese took the reins of the offense in Week 5, and under the protection of Muir s line, set multiple team passer records, including highest passer rating (97.5), highest completion percentage (69.3) and most yards per pass play (7.83). Muir s men were also largely responsible for RB Michael Pittman s best statistical season as a professional in Despite missing the first three games of the season, Pittman rushed for a career-high 926 yards on 219 carries (4.2 avg.). He also reached the end zone a career-high 10 times to rank ninth in the NFC among non-kickers in points scored (60). Behind the valor of Muir s unit, the Buccaneers finished 2003 as the 10th-rated offense in the NFL, marking the second time in club history that Tampa Bay finished the season ranked in the top 10 in total offense in the NFL. Additionally, the Bucs scored at least one offensive touchdown in all 16 games in 2003 for just the third time in franchise history, joining the 1984 and 1992 clubs. Former QB Brad Johnson set several team passing records in 2003 as he broke his own team record with 26 touchdown passes and set team single-season records for attempts (570), completions (354) and tied the club mark for 300-yard passing games with four. Most impressively, the offensive line prevented Johnson from being sacked in a team-record 160 consecutive pass attempts in His 3,811 passing yards also established a team record as Johnson started all 16 games for the third time in his career. Despite losing several starts due to injury, Muir s unit displayed consistent improvement throughout the 2002 season, culminating with the Buccaneers first Super Bowl championship. Super Bowl XXXVII saw the offensive line pave the way for Pittman as he ran for a game and season-high 124 yards on 29 carries (4.3 avg.) against Oakland. The entire offensive unit was stout throughout the playoffs, averaging 35.3 points and yards per game while surrendering only one sack in three postseason contests. Muir s offense churned out 24 first downs, 365 total yards and helped the Buccaneers hold nearly a 15-minute advantage in time of possession in the rout of the Raiders. QB Brad Johnson established then club single-season records in touchdown passes (22) and completion percentage (62.3). Additionally, Tampa Bay s offensive line helped the Buccaneers net 779 rushing yards (111.3 ypg) in the club s final seven games, including the postseason. In 2001, Muir s final season in New York, the Jets finished with their best rushing totals during his tenure with the club. Behind Pro Bowl RB Curtis Martin, the Jets finished fourth overall in rushing offense and second in the AFC, averaging yards per game, which marked the best ranking rushing offense since the Jets finished fifth in that category in Martin earned his fourth Pro Bowl selection after finishing second in the NFL with a career-high and club-record 1,513 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns. Martin posted four consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons behind the Jets offensive line. Under Muir s direction, the Jets allowed the fewest sacks in the AFC (19), which also marked the second-lowest total in the NFL. In addition, Muir was instrumental in the development of C Kevin Mawae, who was selected to his third consecutive Pro Bowl in In 2000, New York s offensive line tied Indianapolis for the fewest sacks allowed (20), despite being part of an offensive line that had the most pass attempts of any team in the NFL. The Jets offense averaged yards per game, and Martin raced for 1,204 yards rushing, including galloping for a club-record 203 yard rushing day against Indianapolis. Muir displayed his outstanding teaching and developmental skills in 1999 when he integrated three new starters on the offensive line Guards Randy Thomas and Kerry Jenkins and RT Ryan Young in the starting lineup. Despite the injuries, Muir developed a cohesive unit that helped Martin post a then-team record 1,464 yards rushing, marking just the third time in team history that a Jets running back had posted consecutive 1,000 yard campaigns. Muir joined the Jets after spending three seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles in the same capacity ( ). He was instrumental in an Eagles rushing attack that averaged yards per game over two seasons ( ) and ranked fourth in the NFC and ninth in the NFL in Prior to joining the Eagles, he spent three seasons with Indianapolis as an assistant head coach/offensive line in 1991 and defensive coordinator in He has also served as an offensive line coach with the Detroit Lions from and New England Patriots from Muir is in his second stint with the Buccaneers organization. He spent four years with the Buccaneers as a college scout and in pro player personnel from During his first tenure with the Buccaneers, Tampa Bay advanced to the postseason twice (1979 and 1981) and reached the NFC Championship Game in 1979 in just its fourth year of existence. Muir began his coaching career at the collegiate level at his alma mater Susquehanna (1965) 26 Administration

27 before moving onto Delaware Valley, Rhode Island, Idaho State, Southern Methodist, Orlando of the Continental Football League and the Texans of the World Football League. He played at Susquehanna from and was inducted into the school s Hall of Fame in 1990 after being named to the school s Top 100 players of all-time in a recent study done at the conclusion of the millennium. During the 2003 and 2004 offseasons, Muir joined several other Buccaneers coaches to host the High School Coaching Academy in conjunction with the National Football Foundation. The academy was a one day, hands-on clinic designed to elevate the quality of football coaching at the high school level. Muir was born in Pittsburgh and is married to wife Barbara. The couple has two children, daughter Keelan and son Brady, as well as four grandchildren: Ryan, Kendall and twins, William and Kaylan. Barbara has been active in the Tampa community as a member of the Buccaneers Women s Organization, participating in the Reading Program to promote literacy in children, the Fall Festival and the Metropolitan Ministries Holiday Tent.

WR Mark Jones ranked fourth in the NFC in punt return average, returning a conference-leading 51 punts for 492 yards (9.6 avg.). Bisaccia s unit challenged several team and individual records in 2004, including best kickoff return average, most kickoff return yardage, most punts inside the 20-yard line and highest net and gross punting averages. Bidwell placed 23 punts inside the 20 to rank, at the time, tied for fifth in team history and tied for eighth in the NFC. Cox recorded an impressive 26.2-yard kickoff return average to finish fourth in the NFL and second in team history for a single season. Additionally, the 24.2-yard team kickoff return average in 2004 was tops in Buccaneers history and ranked fourth in the NFL, while the 1,450 total kickoff return yards were second-best all-time in team annals. LB Keith Burns led the team with 23 special teams tackles while earning Buccaneers special teams MVP and USA Today All-Joe Team honors.

30 ART VALERO Assistant Head Coach/Running Backs Coach 6th NFL Season, 6th with Buccaneers Art Valero enters his sixth with the Buccaneers and second as assistant head coach/running backs coach. He also spent two seasons ( ) as running backs coach and two seasons ( ) with the club as the tight ends coach. Valero s versatility has been invaluable to head coach Jon Gruden s offense as the Buccaneers have set a variety of team and individual offensive records since In 2006, Valero helped lead a rushing attack that produced 1,523 yards on 404 carries and six touchdowns. Despite missing two games because of injury, RB Carnell Cadillac Williams led the team in rushing for the second consecutive season, totaling 798 yards on 225 carries and one rushing touchdown. Additionally, Williams ranked sixth on the team with a career-high 30 receptions last season. In 2005, Valero welcomed Williams to his stable as he became one of the most exciting rookie running backs in NFL history. Williams set a Buccaneer rookie record by rushing for 1,178 yards in 2005 and was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. He also won the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Week award in each of the season s first three weeks and was named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Month for September. Additionally, Williams totaled an NFL-rookie record 434 yards over his first three NFL games and rushed for 100 or more yards in a team-record six games in 2005 under the tutelage of Valero. Providing unmatched leadership and toughness for Valero has been venerable FB Mike Alstott. He has helped pave the way for Williams the past two seasons while also doubling as one of the club s top scoring threats. The Buccaneers all-time touchdown leader totaled six rushing touchdowns in 2005 to rank tied for ninth in the NFC and tied for first on the team with Williams, while reaching the end zone three times in Valero helped the Buccaneers offense rush for an average of yards per game in 2005, Tampa Bay s highest per-game average since the 2000 season. RB Michael Pittman, who arrived with Valero in 2002, has been a valuable asset as both a starter and key reserve since joining Tampa Bay s backfield. Perhaps his most valuable contribution has been as a receiver, ranking third in the NFL for most receptions by a running back (258) since Additionally, his 258 receptions since 2002 lead the team and he finished second on the club with 47 catches in Valero led one of the NFL s most experienced and accomplished backfields in 2004, helping the Buccaneers total 1,489 rushing yards on 393 carries (3.8 avg.) with nine rushing touchdowns. Valero s backfield also made a significant contribution in the team s passing attack, accounting for 93 receptions, 738 receiving yards and four touchdowns. For three consecutive seasons ( ) Pittman was Tampa Bay s leading rusher, piecing together his finest season as a professional in his first season under the tutelage of Valero in Despite missing the season s first three contests, Pittman rushed for a career-high 926 yards on 219 carries. His 4.2 yards-per-carry average in 2004 was the highest of his career (min. 100 carries) and his seven rushing touchdowns were also a personal best. Pittman also hauled in 41 receptions for 391 yards (9.5 avg.) and a career-best three receiving touchdowns. His 10 total touchdowns in 2004 ranked him ninth in the NFC among non-kickers in points scored (60) and marked the sixth time in team history that a player reached double digits in touchdowns in a single season. Valero s men proved to be a viable target for QB Brad Johnson throughout the 2003 season, his last season as the Bucs tight ends coach. Valero s unit totaled 38 receptions for 369 yards (9.71 avg.) with five touchdowns. TE Ken Dilger led the group with 22 receptions for 244 yards (11.1 avg.) and one touchdown in 15 starts in Under Valero s direction, Dilger, TE Rickey Dudley and TE Todd Yoder combined to haul in 52 receptions for 547 yards and five touchdowns in 2002, helping lead the Buccaneers to their first world championship in Super Bowl XXXVII. By comparison, in 2001 the tight ends unit combined for a total of 39 receptions with four scores. Dilger s 34 receptions in 2002 ranked sixth on the team and he added two touchdowns. Valero joined Tampa Bay after spending four seasons ( ) as assistant head coach and offensive line coach at the University of Louisville. During his tenure, the Cardinals boasted one of the nation s top offensive attacks, including finishing first nationally in total offense in 1998, averaging nearly 560 yards per game. Before heading to Louisville, Valero spent three years at Utah State ( ) as the assistant head coach/offensive line coach. Prior to that, Valero served as an offensive coordinator and assistant head coach at Idaho ( ), helping the Vandals to a combined record of 44-18, including four appearances in the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. Under his direction, Idaho produced four 1,000-yard rushers, with Sherriden May becoming just the second back in Big Sky Conference history to record three 1,000-yard campaigns. In 1994, Idaho finished first in the conference in total offense, rushing offense and scoring offense. 30 Administration
