The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are cleaning house, according to reports. Fox Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer broke the news that Tampa Bay has fired head coach Greg Schiano and general manager Mark Dominik on Monday.

Schiano was fired after only two seasons, amassing an overall record of 11-21, including a four-win season in '13. But there were more issues than just the record, a lot of it complete embarrassment. The Josh Freeman saga started it but the MRSA outbreak didn't help.

Schiano isn't expected to be out of a job long. Penn State's athletic director believes that they'll lose Bill O'Brien to the NFL at some point, preparing for a "strong push" for Schiano.

As for the Bengals, Mike Zimmer interviewed in Tampa Bay prior to the Schiano hiring in 2012.
