Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive lineman and Oklahoma alum Gerald McCoy got the last laugh in more ways than one when it came to his former coach Greg Schiano and the Ohio State Buckeyes.
It all started with Schiano, who once coached McCoy in Tampa Bay and is now the defensive coordinator for Ohio State. Earlier in the offseason, he said Ohio State’s defensive line was even better than the ones he’d worked with in the NFL.
McCoy took some offense to that — and upon seeing the vaunted Buckeye front collect just two sacks against his alma mater Oklahoma on Saturday night in a statement victory, he couldn’t help but take a major shot at Schiano. One of McCoy’s former Buccaneer teammates, defensive tackle Akeem Spence, even got in on the action. Given the problems McCoy and the Buccaneers had with Schiano toward the end of his NFL tenure, it’s no surprise there’s little warmth there. The fact that his Sooners did it only makes things sweeter for the Bucs lineman.
