Jeff Jagodzinski the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was relieved of duty earlier today. He’s less then eight months on the job.

“I’m not here to bash Jeff Jagodzinski. What he did, coming in here and implementing the plan and having an idea … was good,” Morris said. “We’re just at a different state right now. We need to be more direct. We need to have more precision. We need to know where we’re going.”

Jagodzinski was offered a demotion to quarterbacks coach, but declined.

After yesterday’s exhibition game between the Eagles and Jaguars, here’s the buzz on “reformed” Michael Vick.

On his fantasy viability:

“Vick has zero chance of any fantasy viability this season, as long as McNabb (244 yards, 1 TD on Thursday) is healthy. Even in his heyday with the Falcons, Vick was nothing more then a 7th rounder in fantasy drafts…” Jay Clemons Sports Illustrated

On our fascination:

“Shame on you, shame on me — and shame on America — for being overly fascinated about this. Suddenly, the man who bankrolled the killings of underperforming dogs has become the biggest curiosity in pro sports…” Jay Mariotti, Fan House

Too soon for football?

“Vick certainly appeared concerned about returning to football as soon as possible. We would like to be more convinced of his concern for animals, if only he could humble himself by changing water, scooping poop, or sweeping floors at a local shelter – where dogs slated for deaths more merciful than those Vick meted out wait hopefully for simple acts of human kindness…” Francis Battista, Philly Inquirer
