Tampa Radio: The Bone Wants NFL Coach Fired

As the Buccaneers seem headed for a winless NFL season, Tampa’s WHPT 102.5 FM The Bone has purchased billboards urging that coach Greg Schiano be fired.  The message says “Fire Schiano” against a background of flames.

“The ‘Fire Schiano’ billboard is simply a reflection of the Tampa Baycommunity’s opinion of the Buccaneers’ Head Coach,” said Michael Sharkey, Program Director of 102.5 The Bone WHPT, in a statement.

“Our listeners have voiced their opinion that they are tired of a team, that on paper, should have a winning record. This billboard isn’t a message to the Buccaneers as much as it is a message to our listeners that we are right there with them.”

The billboards have been placed in 19 locations, according to WHPT.
