This Koetter-Smith combo is better than the old one

January 16, 2016 general

Saturday, 6 a.m. For now, his vision is clear, his ideas seem brilliant and his path is paved in gold. At the moment, he is undefeated. These are the best days for Dirk Koetter, the new coach of the Bucs. He has yet to lose to Carolina. He has yet to call a play that […]

If Koetter is to succeed, he’ll need help

January 15, 2016 general

Friday, 6:10 a.m. It doesn’t matter where a coach comes from. It matters what sort of help he gets once he’s here. That’s the part that has always been difficult for the Tampa Bay Bucs to fathom. They have hired former pro coaches, four of them. They have hired former college coaches, three of them. […]

The questions Koetter must answer are defensive

January 14, 2016 general

Thursday, 6 a.m. The coach is offensive. The questions are defensive. It is doubtful that Jason Licht asked Dirk Koetter a lot about his offense this week. Does he want to know what he thinks about Jameis Winston? About Doug Martin? Look at the tapes. Want to know what he would do in a goal-to-go […]

Saban to Bucs? Sounds like dreaming to me

January 13, 2016 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. If you are going to dream, dream big. If you are going to imagine, imagine wild. If you are going to try to make up a rumor, well, make one up that will get some buzz, right? All of which explains the brand new Nick-Saban-to-the-Bucs reports that seem to be making the […]

Random Thoughts: Bucs barely missed playoffs

January 10, 2016 general

Just think. If the NFL expanded its playoffs to only 22 teams, the Bucs would still barely miss. – If Nick Saban wins on Monday night, do they change the name of the joint to Sabanburg? – Just getting it out there. Next year, I plan to vote for Fred McGriff again. I do not […]

If the Bucs hire Koetter, are they better off?

January 8, 2016 general

Friday, 6 a.m. On the afternoon of October 25, no one thought Dirk Koetter was the solution to the Bucs’ problems. The Bucs had just had a meltdown against the Washington Redskins. The offense, which had come so far under Koetter, had blown a late first-and-goal situation from the five that could have iced the […]

Bucs start over, fire Lovie Smith as coach

January 7, 2016 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. The move smacks of desperation. It cries out of impatience. It was sudden, and it was shocking, and it was dramatic.
