1984 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season
The 1984 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season began with the team making efforts to address the problems faced in the disastrous 1983 season. For the first time, the team renegotiated the contracts of players in their option years, which kept discontent over salaries to a minimum. An assistant coach was added to perform the functions of an offensive coordinator. A strength coach was added, which improved the players' physical conditioning in hopes of avoiding the constant injuries that occurred in 1983.〔McDonald, Tim. "The Bucs". St. Petersburg Evening Independent. 31 Aug 1984〕 A healthy, stable offensive lineup developed the maturity to sustain long drives in pressure situations, and head coach John McKay began to move away from his long-criticized conservative play-calling and open up the offense.〔McDonald, TIm. "Is 'bumbling Bucs' tag a name of the past?" St. Petersburg Evening Independent. 8 Oct 1984〕 This was the first time that the team's offense finished the season ranked higher than their defense.〔(Tampa Bay Buccaneers Team Encyclopedia – Pro-Football-Reference.com )〕 Their offensive output is still the third-highest in team history (as of 2010), and was not matched by another Buccaneer team until 2003.〔(Tampa Bay Buccaneers Stats at NFL.com )〕
James Wilder, who Lawrence Taylor called "the best running back I've ever played against in my life",〔Associated Press. "Bucs Fall to Giants". Ocala Star-Banner. 22 Sep 1984〕 set team and NFL records while serving as the focal point of the team's offense. Steve DeBerg emerged as a stable, confidence-inspiring on-field leader.〔Huang, Nathan. "DeBerg's confidence rubs off on Bucs". St. Petersburg Evening Independent. 6 Oct 1984〕 Kevin House continued to perform as one of the league's best wide receivers, while Gerald Carter emerged as a solid complement.〔〔Zier, Patrick. "Importance of passing game becoming clear to Bucs". The Lakeland Ledger. 20 Sep 1984〕 Hugh Green, described by Mike Ditka as "one of the best two linebackers in the game" (with Lawrence Taylor),〔Achenbach, Jim. "Call Them The Bad News Bucs". The Sarasota Herald-Tribune. 22 Oct 1984.〕 continued to dominate until sidelined by a midseason automobile accident.〔Wire Services. "Buccaneers' Green Injures Eye In Wreck, To Miss 2 Weeks". The Palm Beach Post. 5 Oct 1984〕 Dave Logan became the youngest of only four defensive linemen in NFL history to score four touchdowns, and began to be spoken of as a potential All-Pro〔Scanlon, Dick. "Bucs' Logan earning All-Pro consideration". The Lakeland Ledger. 7 Oct 1984〕 until sore knees limited his movement later in the season.〔Zier, Patrick. "Buccaneers' report card just average". The Lakeland Ledger. 2 Nov 1984〕 Lee Roy Selmon made the Pro Bowl in what would turn out to be his final season. However, as the team's best defensive players began to fall to injuries, they became prone to late-game collapses. In addition, the mental errors that had characterized the team from the outset contributed to a number of close losses.〔Lasswell, Doug. "Resignation Catches Bucs By Surprise". The Sarasota Herald-Tribune. 6 Nov 1984〕 McKay experienced health problems during the season, and found the constant losing too much to bear. On November 5, the only coach in Buccaneer history announced that he would resign at the end of the season.〔Scheiber, Dave. "McKay resigns as Bucs coach". St. Petersburg Times. 6 Nov 1984〕
