"The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' methodical search for a new head coach will pick up steam again this week.

The Bucs are scheduled to meet today with Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer and Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, according to sources close to the candidates.

Also, Tampa Bay has received permission to speak to Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, an ESPN report said Monday. It is uncertain when or if a meeting with Philbin will take place."
