On a day when a franchise celebrated its past, it got a peek at its future. And through that window came relief for a head coach. For a city, triumph. For a team, victory.

And hey, when things look as dismal as they have in Tampa these past few years -- especially this one -- you make the most of the positives when they come. Buccaneers fan or not, we can all get behind that.
