Derrick Brooks is perhaps the best player in Buccs history. Their fans even go as far as saying he was the best OLB to play the game. He has been the leader and face of that franchise for the last 14 years. Teams tend to hold on to those players as long as they can. What does it say when the guy who has been coaching Brooks for the last few years on defense, gets promoted to head coach, and outright cuts the guy from the team? If there were anything left in the tank, the Buccs would keep a guy like that around, especially with having a guy with serious knee problems (Crowell) take his place.
