 McKay announced that all other assistants would be retained, with the exception of special teams coach Frank Emanuel, who had left to become defensive coordinator of the USFL Jacksonville Bulls.Emanuel's vacated position was filled by running backs coach Jim Gruden, then by former Buccaneer defensive lineman Bill Kollar when Gruden replaced Ken Herock as director of player personnel.Herock, who had been involved with Buccaneer scouting since 1976 and had worked with the Oakland Raiders before that, was given much of the credit for the expansion Buccaneers' quick rise to playoff contention.
