Absolute idiot move by the Bucs. Seriously?

 

As someone who was at ASU while Koetter was there, on the student press and covering the Sun Devils football team, all I can say to the Bucs is you reap what you sow. The man is a brilliant offensive mind, but his ability to lead a team is a joke. Players didn't respect him, he had zero understanding of how to build and run a defense, his recruiting was awful and his schemes were ridiculous (180 lb. running backs going up the gut, 240 lb. defensive tackles, etc.). He's an ideal coordinator, but the Bucs, if they do promote him, are about to find out just how terrible of a head coach he is.

 

Quote:Let's be honest. Lovie Smith sucks.

No, not really. He took the Bears to the Super Bowl. He was fired in Chicago after a 10-6 season. Think about that one for a second. He inherited an absolutely godawful Bucs roster and, with the help of Koetter and a young QB, had the arrow pointed in the right direction. Now the team gets to start over again, only this time it's with a clueless head coach.

 

Quote:When the FO understands that the current coach is maxed out they make a decisive move. The Jags will eventually see this as an example of how they should've handled Sprinkles this year. Instead we get another season of Flat Gus.

Lovie wasn't maxed out though. Not even close. The Bucs FO just has no idea how to build a team.
