Richard Williamson had been given the coaching job based on his 1-2 record from 1990 and his popularity with the players. But this did not translate into success over a full season and a 3-13 mark including one lucky win over the Eagles was the result. The Bucs played their first four games close but then it was just more of the same losing that the fans had seen so much of before.
