Bucs interview Scottie Montgomery for offensive coordinator

Scottie Montgomery has barely been with the Detroit Lions coaching staff for a week, but he’s already in demand around the league.

Montgomery, hired on February 6th as the Lions’ new assistant head coach and RB coach, interviewed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday to become that team’s offensive coordinator. The Buccaneers confirmed the interview publicly.
