Bucs denied top pick for offensive coordinator

Published Jan. 29, 2012 11:12 a.m. ET

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have been denied permission to interview Arizona Cardinals wide receivers coach John McNulty for their offensive coordinator position, according to an NFL.com report on Saturday.

McNulty had served as new Buccaners coach Greg Schiano's offensive coordinator at Rutgers until moving on to the NFL and was reportedly Tampa Bay's top choice to run its offense.

Tampa Bay may now look to hire Frank Cignetti, Rutgers' current offensive coordinator. Though Cignetti's experience hs been primarily at the college level, he did serve as the San Francisco 49ers' quarterbacks coach in 2007.
