According to Tampa Bay Buccaneers co-chairman Joel Glazer, the team's general manager Jason Licht was retained this past offseason for one simple reason: stability. Despite the fact that the team added a new head coach in the famed Bruce Arians, Licht remained in place in the Buccaneers front office.

“One thing we do know in the NFL, too much instability doesn’t lead to success,” Glazer told PewterReport.com on Tuesday afternoon. “And we have had our share of instability over the last several years. And with Jason – obviously Jason is not happy with what our record has been the last few years – but when you look at our team and you look at our drafts, there have been positives. We have had a lot of players we drafted, re-sign, and we have a good nucleus of players. So at the end of the day we felt the consistency in that was important and will ultimately lead to success.”

However, Licht certainly doesn't appear to be the problem in Tampa Bay with such a move hardly coming as a major surprise.

“He has put together a good personnel staff, he is good at articulating to everybody of what we are trying to accomplish,” Glazer added, via PewterReport.com. “He has good perspective when it comes to the team. And I think the key has been working with the head coach. I think he has had excellent ability to work with our coaching staffs – it is partnership ultimately – and if those two people aren’t on the same page working well together than it is always flawed. So he is also a good people person.”

The Buccaneers have not reached the postseason since back in 2007.
