"Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano is going back to his roots to hire at least one assistant on his staff.

Schiano wants to hire Butch Davis, the former Tar Heels, Browns and Miami Hurricanes head coach, according to Sports Illustrated's Peter King.

It's not clear what role Davis would have on the Bucs' staff, but most likely he would be defensive coordinator. Schiano was Davis' defensive coordinator at Miami from 1999-2000.

Here's what King wrote:

Greg Schiano wants Butch Davis on his staff.

Not sure whether Davis would be defensive coordinator or an assistant head coach, but Schiano's interested in adding him to the staff at Tampa Bay. Schiano was Davis' defensive coordinator at the University of Miami in 1999 and 2000, and they have remained close. Davis hasn't coached in the NFL since he was dismissed by the Browns after the 2004 season. He'd be a good sounding board for Schiano."
