Greg Schiano: 'I haven't lost the locker room'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano is adamant that he still has the support of his players.

The Buccaneers dropped to 0-7 in their season with defeat to Carolina Panthers on Thursday, leading to questions surrounding the future of the former Rutgers man.

Schiano told reporters: "Have I lost the locker room? No. Are they listening? Yes. Are we getting everything we need out of them? Well, obviously not because we're 0-7. So there's different levels to that question.

"But, ultimately, we have got good guys in that locker room. We got 61 guys in that locker room that I believe in, and I really strongly feel they believe in me."

The Buccaneers trail the New Orleans Saints by five games in the NFC South and their playoff hopes are all but over.
