TAMPA, Fla. John Starks Jersey . -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have hired Arizona Cardinals front-office executive Jason Licht to help coach Lovie Smith transform a team that hasnt won a playoff game in more than a decade into a championship contender. The struggling franchise confirmed the move Tuesday and plans to formally introduce him as the fifth GM in club history at a news conference Thursday. Licht has been with the Cardinals for the past two seasons, the last one as vice-president of player personnel. "Jason is a seasoned NFL personnel veteran who has worked with some of the most accomplished individuals in professional football while contributing to success in New England, Philadelphia and Arizona," Bucs co-chairman Joel Glazer said. "His strong player personnel background provides the ideal complement to Lovie Smiths philosophy as our head coach," Glazer added. "We look forward to working with Jason and Lovie as we set the foundation and chart the course for the future of Buccaneers football." Licht was Arizona general manager Steve Keims right-hand man in the overhaul of the Cardinals roster last off-season, which resulted in a 10-6 record in 2013 -- an improvement of five wins over the previous year. He succeeds Mark Dominik, who was fired after the Buccaneers went 4-12. The Bucs also dismissed coach Greg Schiano after missing the playoffs for the sixth straight season and replaced him with Smith, who won three division championships and one NFC title while coaching the Chicago Bears from 2004 to 2012. Tampa Bay last made the playoffs in 2007 and hasnt won a post-season game since its 2002 Super Bowl run produced the franchises only NFL championship. Lichts challenge in his new position will reshaping the roster and helping Smith improve a team that went 28-52 during Dominiks five years as GM. Licht also has worked for the Carolina Panthers and Miami Dolphins during a career as an executive that spans nearly 20 years in five different organizations. The hire was first reported by Fox Sports. The Bucs have only had one winning season last making the playoffs, however the roster is not devoid of talent. After years doing little to upgrade the roster through in free agency, ownership spent generously the past two offseasons while bringing in players such as cornerback Darrelle Revis, safety Dashon Goldson, receiver Vincent Jackson and offensive lineman Carl Nicks. The first major decision Licht and Smith face personnel-wise figures to be determining if Mike Glennon is the teams quarterback of the future. A third-round draft pick in 2013, Glennon started the final 13 games as rookie, going 4-9 and hardly proving hes the answer to the teams struggles. The Bucs, who have the seventh pick in this springs draft, finished last in the league in passing and total offence. Smith is a defensive-minded coach who plans to bring back a version of the Tampa 2 system that the Bucs popularized during a successful run under Tony Dungy and Jon Gruden in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Revis and defensive tackle Gerald McCoy were Pro Bowl selections this season, and young linebacker Lavonte David and safety Mark Barron have promising futures. Smith hired former Minnesota Vikings coach Leslie Frazier as defensive co-ordinator. Former California coach Jeff Tedford, who coached Aaron Rodgers in college, is the new offensive co-ordinator.

United on Saturday night and boost the Unions playoff hopes. Nick DeLeon scored in the 36th minute for United (3-23-6), which had ample opportunities to build on its lead but went its 10th straight match without a victory.LAKE FOREST, Ill. - The Chicago Bears admit theyre underachievers, and now they hope no one calls them quitters.With their playoff chances virtually shot, the Bears are looking to play out the string. Any miracle Bears playoff chances involve winning every remaining game while Seattle, Detroit and Dallas lose all of theirs, so the 5-7 Bears are trying to finish their games against Dallas, then New Orleans, Detroit and Minnesota without a decline in effort.Its just frustrating because as a team, the talent we have on our team, we definitely are underachieving, running back Matt Forte said. A few guys have to do some soul-searching for the rest of the season and plan how they want to play the rest of these games.Against Detroit on Thursday the offence finally found a way to score in the first quarter after six straight games without a first-quarter point, then vanished. They havent scored more than 28 points this season. The defence allowed 34 points against a Lions team that had been held without a touchdown two straight games.Two key holding penalties on centre Roberto Garza helped slow the offence Thursday.Were a team that has certainly hurt itself throughout the year with the penalties that we have had, taking ourselves out of field position, scoring position on a consistent basis and were (coaches) on it all the time, coach Marc Trestman said. Weve got smart players, they dont want to do it.They have the ability to do it right and we have to continue to move forward and push them through this so we can get betteer as we move forward. Anthony Mason Jersey. Defensively, the Bears have to cope with more injuries. Safety Chris Conte left the Lions game with an eye injury after suffering concussions and shoulder injuries earlier this season. Cornerback Tim Jennings left with a groin injury. The Bears played without starters Lance Briggs (groin) and Jeremiah Ratliff (knee) due to injuries.Theyll toss that problem in with a defence that has allowed 350 yards or more nine times and has allowed 140 points in the last three road games.Weve got to tackle, defensive end Jared Allen said. We had some opportunities (Thursday), we had some third downs get away from us, and weve got to find more ways to create turnovers.Cutler and other players insisted no one will quit even with the Bears all but certain to miss the playoffs for the seventh time in eight seasons.I think with the guys we have and character and integrity of the guys, I dont think anybodys going to quit, Cutler said. I think the coaches wont let us, theyre not going to quit on us.I think the leaders of the team will make sure that we finish this right.Allen said it now becomes a matter of pride and being a spoiler.You play every game for what it is, he said. Misery loves company, right? You try to take everybody down with you.You play because its your job, you play because this is what we love to do. You go out there and if youre willing to shut it down, youre willing to get embarrassed, I dont want you on my team. And I dont think we have one guy (like that) in here.
