Florida defensive coordinator Dan Quinn turned down an offer to run the Bucs defense. Quinn interviewed for the job Saturday and Sunday and after mulling over the offer decided to stay in Gainesville. The Gators have all but one starter returning this fall.
The Bucs have not offered any comment on Quinn or any other development regarding the hiring of assistant coaches.
Quinn has been at Florida for one season. Before that he was defensive line coach for the Seahawks. He also has coached for the Dolphins, Jets and 49ers.
Quinn is slated to earn $510,000 at UF this fall.
ESPN reported that Monday's moves by other teams left the Bucs as the only NFL team with a coordinator opening — and they have both offensive and defensive spots vacant.
CHIEFS: Brian Daboll was named offensive coordinator, giving new coach Romeo Crennel a familiar face. Daboll spent last season in the same job in Miami, and the previous two years as Cleveland's offensive coordinator. He worked with Crennel when both were with the Patriots.
BRONCOS: Running back Knowshon Moreno was arrested last week on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, Denver TV station KWGN reported. His Bentley had personalized license plates that read "SAUCED."
RAIDERS: Jason Tarver was hired from nearby Stanford as defensive coordinator. Tarver was co-defensive coordinator with the Cardinal and spent the previous decade on the 49ers staff.
STEELERS: Former Chiefs coach Todd Haley will be named offensive coordinator, according to a report from 610-AM in Kansas City. Haley would replace Bruce Arians, now in the same role with the Colts.
LONDON GAMES: Tickets for the annual regular-season game in London went on sale after the Rams solved an issue regarding their lease. Sales were halted last week because plans to have the Rams host one game per season at Wembley the next three years clashed with the team's lease on Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis.
