"Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy says he hasn't met new head coach Greg Schiano, but he says there is already a buzz among the players.

"Everyone's excited," McCoy said. "Everyone is like, 'I don't know what to expect,' but everyone's excited."

McCoy said he was didn't know much about Schiano before the Bucs hired him, but that his financial advisor, John Mangum, played for him when Schiano was an assistant with the Bears.

"He gave his stamp of approval," McCoy said as he worked Super Bowl media day. "I've done some research on him, and I've heard nothing but good things and how respected he is.

"He's an old soul, a no-nonsense coach who completely flipped and changed around that Rutgers program. He's defensive minded so, you know, that's what I'm about.""
