"Virginia offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Bill Lazor will not become the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a report in the Charlottesvile (Va.) Daily Progress.

Columnist Jerry Ratcliffe, citing unnamed sources, said Wednesday that Lazor is no longer being considered for the opening on new Bucs coach Greg Schiano's staff, even though he had been a "candidate of interest" for the position.

The report did not say whether Lazor took himself out of the running or had been eliminated by the Bucs.

FOXSports.com also reported Wednesday that the Bucs would interview University of North Carolina offensive coordinator John Shoop, a former Tampa Bay assistant coach."
