With the 4-11 Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the verge of finishing a disappointing 2017 season, head coach Dirk Koetter said rumors about his job security have created a distraction.
Per ESPN's Jenna Laine, Koetter acknowledged the uncertainty around his future with the Buccaneers but has tried to compartmentalize it for the sake of his team.
"Of course," Koetter said Tuesday. "It's your life. It's your life. It's what you do. So just flip it around. Of course it is. But we all as players and coaches, we're paid to do a job, and you try to do it to the best of our ability.
