Tampa, FL-- The Bucs began their search for the successor to Raheem Morris.  Three names came to the surface today, according to various sources.

The Bucs are working with former Tennessee Titans' head coach Jeff Fisher, on arranging an interview.  Fisher was in Miami Tuesday, meeting with Dolphins' owner Stephen Ross.  Ross flew in Fisher aboard his helicopter, but Fisher has other interviews scheduled, including with the Rams.

Former Packers' head coach Mike Sherman, is reportedly on the Bucs' radar.  Sherman may be in Tampa this week, for an interview.  He was recently fired, after four years at Texas A&M.  Sherman was head coach for the Green Bay Packers, with winning seasons 5 of the 6 years he was there.  He's an offensive coach, 57 years old.

Another name mentioned is Titans' defensive coordinator Jerry Gray, who played for the Bucs in 1993.  Gray was DC for the Buffalo Bills for 5 years in the early part of the decade.  He has 14 years of NFL coaching experience, and 9 years of playing experience.

The Bucs did not comment on any of these possibilities.
