"Marty Schottenheimer is likely the oldest head coaching candidate the Bucs will interview at 68, but he believes he may be the best one to lead the youngest team in the NFL.

Schottenheimer interviewed with the Bucs on Tuesday and had what he described as "an enjoyable dialogue.'' Both committed to further discussions.

"I think they've got some great young players on that team," Schottenheimer told the Times. "They've also got some really solid veterans. And when you see them develop, that's always very exciting for every coach.

"In my particular case, I like to work with kids. I refer to them as kids, even though I know they're grown men. But I like to give them the benefit of my insight as to what I've seen and experienced in this business. I am a teacher.""
