The Tampa Bay Buccaneers transitioned to the Atlanta Falcons South when they hired Dirk Koetter as head coach and Mike Smith as defensive coordinator. Those names were paired down after each game against the Falcons until the team no longer employed former Falcons.
After three seasons in Tampa Koetter is officially out after a disappointing 19-29 final record. Some were hopeful he could return but a second-half collapse against the Falcons, giving up 27 points in two quarters, definitely sealed his fate. He made it just a few hours after his final loss with the team.
