Rodney Carlyle McNeill (born March 26, 1951 in Durham, North Carolina) is a former American football running back.
 Drafted by the New Orleans Saints in 1974, he spent two seasons with them before playing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1976.
 In the inaugural 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season, he was the team's kick returner.
The 1977 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season continued the losing streak that encompassed the entire 1976 season, and extended it to 26 games, which as of 2015 remains a record in the National Football League.
 Fear of becoming the Buccaneers’ first victim provided motivation to opposing teams.
 It took nearly two seasons for the Buccaneers to achieve their first franchise victory, a 33–14 win over the New Orleans Saints in the second-to-last game of the year.
 A crowd of 8,000 celebrating fans gathered at team headquarters to greet the team on their return from New Orleans.
 The very next week, the Bucs earned their first home victory, over the St. Louis Cardinals.
The 1980 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season began with great optimism in the wake of their surprise NFC championship appearance of the previous season.
 After scoring a playoff win in only their fourth year, the Buccaneers became the model franchise upon which the NBA expansion Dallas Mavericks adopted their building plan.
 A 3–1 preseason and victories in their first two regular-season games, including an NFC championship rematch against the Los Angeles Rams in the Buccaneers' "Monday Night Football" debut, gave an early impression of the team as a force that had arrived.
 However, the optimism dissipated as the offense underachieved, while opponents seemed to have solved the Buccaneers' 3–4 defense.
 A rash of defensive injuries, beginning with the Rams game, required playing many inexperienced players who proved not to be as ready as expected.
 Losses accumulated as opponents repeatedly took advantage of the Buccaneers' "bend but don't break" defensive strategy of preventing big plays while allowing small gains.
 In week 6 they recorded their first, and as of 2013, only tie in their history, 14–14 against the Green Bay Packers.
 Bright spots included Doug Williams setting numerous Buccaneer passing records while leading the NFC in combined yardage, and a strong draft class.
Mark Dominik (born March 9, 1971) is a former professional football executive and scout for the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League (NFL) from 1994 to 2013.
 Dominik joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after spending a year and a half working in both the college and pro personnel departments of the Kansas City Chiefs.
 In 1995, Dominik was named Pro Personnel Assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
 He moved up to Pro Scout, Coordinator of Pro Scouting and onto Director of Pro Scouting from 1997 to 2008.
 Dominik succeeded Bruce Allen as General Manager on January 17, 2009.
 Dominik held the position of General Manager from 2009 thru the 2013 season.

The 1987 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season was a year of great change for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' organization in the National Football League.
 The season began with the hiring of former New York Giants and University of Alabama head coach Ray Perkins.
 Perkins had only needed three seasons to build the Giants into a playoff team, and it was hoped that he would be able to repeat the feat with the Buccaneers.
Thomas Massey "Tom" McEwen (March 16, 1923 – June 5, 2011) was an American sportswriter and sports editor for "The Tampa Tribune" in Tampa, Florida from 1962 until 1991, although he continued writing his column until 2001.
 From 2001 to shortly before his death in 2011 McEwen continued to write for the Tampa Bay Online.
 He was the Sports Editor during an era of growth for "The Tampa Tribune" and the Tampa bay area, and also during a period of great expansion of sports there.
 Some credit McEwen with being among the most influential newspaper sports journalists of his day, affecting major development for sports in the Tampa Bay Area and facilitating the establishment of professional sports there, notably the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Rays and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The 1994 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season began with the death of owner Hugh Culverhouse.
 Ownership was transferred to a three-man board of trustees.
 Season ticket sales dwindled, and rumors of the team's location were a persistent distraction all year.
 At mid-season, the new ownership removed all personnel responsibilities from coach Sam Wyche, and gave them to Vice President Rich McKay, who they named general manager.
 They also put the team up for sale.
 On the field, Errict Rhett became the first rookie in the team's history to rush for 1,000 yards, despite not starting until the ninth game of the season.
 The Buccaneers had one of the weakest offenses in the league, even while led by a coach who had consistently produced top offenses while with the Cincinnati Bengals.
 At 2–9, most people in the Bay area were ready to hang Wyche and pack his bags, but the defensive line improved as Eric Curry finally matured in the second half of the season, and the Bucs began their first 4-game winning streak in 15 years.
 It started with an overtime win in Minnesota.
 Two wins over the Washington Redskins and one over the Los Angeles Rams set up a big game in Tampa against the Green Bay Packers, who were trying to secure a playoff spot.
 "We've arrived", Wyche announced prematurely.
 The final game was called "Orange Pride day", and was attended by 65,000 fans (although many were rooting for the visitors), most of whom expected it to be the last football game in Tampa.
 The Packers won, 34–19.
The 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season was the team’s first in the National Football League.
 The Buccaneers gained infamy as the first team to play an entire 14-game season without winning or tying a single game (including five games where they never even scored).
 They did not score until their third game and did not score a touchdown until their fourth.
 They lost by more than a touchdown 11 times.
 Colorful, maverick former USC coach John McKay, whose wisecracking remarks occasionally agitated fans and the league, led the team.
 Lee Roy Selmon, the Buccaneers’ first Hall of Fame representative, made his rookie debut in an injury-plagued season.
The 1989 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season began with the team trying to improve on an 5–11 season which finished winning two of their last three games including an upset of the 1988 AFC East Champion Buffalo Bills (a win that was not only Tampa Bay's high point of the season, but turned out to be hugely impactful on the AFC playoff picture, as Buffalo’s loss combined with an overtime win by the Cincinnati Bengals over Washington in the season finale meant that the Bengals clinched the home-field advantage that would have otherwise gone to the Bills; Cincinnati ended up winning a close AFC title game at home against Buffalo and got to Super Bowl XXIII.
 The season started with a road win against the improved Green Bay Packers, and game two brought the world champion San Francisco 49ers and Joe Montana to Tampa Stadium.
 With Joe trying to direct a 4th quarter comeback, cornerback Ricky Reynolds dropped what would have been a game ending interception on second down in the end zone.
 On third down, Montana rolled out and ran untouched into the endzone for a winning TD that left a rare sellout crowd stunned and silent in defeat.
 The Bucs extended their record to 3—2 by beating the hated Chicago Bears finally in Tampa Stadium, holding off the Bears to a 42—35 victory.
 It was an impressive win, but then the Bucs lost to the Detroit Lions in the last minute and entered into an over all five-game losing streak tailspin.
 Tampa Bay would sweep Chicago to end the streak (an achievement which was diluted by the Bears having their worst season in several years) but ended with a disappointing 5—11 record.
 James Wilder’s final season was highlighted by a 100-yard receiving game in week 9.
 Many fans felt the Bucs were far better than the final record suggested, and offseason acquisitions would help the Bucs win the next year.
Charles Douglas "Charlie" Davis (born January 16, 1952) is a former American football running back for the Cincinnati Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers of the National Football League (NFL).
 A 1974 NFL Draft choice from the University of Colorado, he rushed 72 times for 375 yards and caught 19 passes for 171 yards as a rookie, but suffered a preseason knee injury that prevented him from playing in 1975.
 In 1976, he was traded to the expansion Buccaneers for a future draft choice, which turned out to be a 1977 fourth-rounder.
 Davis scored the Buccaneers' first-ever offensive touchdown, a 1-yard run in week 4 of the 1976 season against the Baltimore Colts, but later suffered another knee injury and spent the remainder of the 1976 season and the 1977 season on injured reserve.
