The Buccaneers will interview Vikings receivers coach Keenan McCardell for his offensive coordinator position. Rick Stroud’s Tampa Bay Times.
McCardell spent two of his 17 NFL seasons with the Bucs, suiting up in Tampa Bay from 2002–03. The second of his two Pro-Bowl seasons came when he had 84 catches for 1,174 yards and eight touchdowns in 2003.
He caught two touchdowns for the Buccaneers in their Super Bowl XXXVII victory.
McCardell, 53, began his coaching career in 2010 as the wide receivers coach for Washington. He held the same position with one of his former NFL teams, Jacksonville, from 2017–20. He takes up his current position in Minnesota ahead of the 2021 season.
