Bucs Hire The Kicking Lineman


Ok, who remembers George Yarno? In 1983, John McKay deactivated kicker Bill Capece before the last game of the season against the Lions and new kicker Dave Warnke had missed both an extra point and a field goal in that game. McKay threw up his hands in disgust and went down the sidelines asking each player if they thought they could kick an extra point. Yarno stepped up and kicked a lefty through the uprights to... well, still lose. But only by three! Anyway, Yarno played for a couple other teams in the late 80s and then retired as a player. He was hired as an offensive line coach by Washington State in 2003, and now he's taking Aaron Kromer's place as the senior offensive line assistant coach for the Buccaneers.

The last straight-ahead kicker.
