Bucs need to use their best weapons to beat Rams

December 16, 2015 general

Wednesday 6 a.m. Going in a game, the amount of plays a football team gets is not predetermined. It is not a matter of chance. It is not arbitrary. How many plays the Bucs get, largely, is up to the Bucs. All of which make it kind of sad to hear offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter […]

Tampa Bay’s Koetter deserves an award

December 10, 2015 general

Thursday, 6 a.m. If there were such an award as NFL Assistant Coach of the Year, it would probably go to someone whose team has lit up the scoreboard. Arizona’s Harold Goodwin, for instance, whose team leads the league in scoring. Or maybe it would be a coach whose team is unbeaten. Carolina defensive coordinator Sean […]

Koetter’s way has led to a better Bucs’ offense

November 6, 2015 general

Friday, 6 a.m. This year, there is a direction. This year, there is an identity. This year, there are expectations. This year, darned if the offense of the Tampa Bay Bucs doesn’t look, well, coordinated. No, they are still not a fireworks show. They are still not lethal. They are still not the kind of […]

They’d like the broken offensive line to look healed. They’d like the running game to reappear. They’d like the receivers to look dangerous. At the end of the day, […]

Bucs’ Koetter recognizes bad, must bring better

September 1, 2015 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. He was brought in to make the right call. He was brought in to make the uncoordinated look coordinated, to make the rookie quarterback look experienced, to make the broken offensive line look whole again. He was brought in to make the Bucs look offensive. And now, for a refreshingly raw play-call […]

Despite other guy, Bucs’ Glennon works to get better

May 29, 2015 general

Friday, 12:16 p.m. The other guy was absent. The pens stopped. The cameras looked away. The new energy of the Bucs was on hold. Jameis Winston was away at a rookie symposium. In charge, once again, was Mike Glennon. Just him. Content beyond this point is for members only.

Koetter believes, but can Bucs believe in points?

January 13, 2015 general

Others have been in his position before. Others have failed. Over the years, other men have been the offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Bucs, and others have looked wistfully at the end zone. Others have been certain they could blaze a trail to the end zone. Others have been sure they could make the […]

To all fields: Koettner has small shoes to fill

January 10, 2015 College Sports in Florida

Saturday, 5:52 a.m. To all fields. The first task that Dirk Koetter will have as offensive coordinator of the Bucs will be challenging. Right off the bat, Koetter has to squeeze into some awful tiny shoes. Hoo, boy. Have the coordinators, and the offenses, been underachievers over the years. To put it bluntly, it has […]
