The Buccaneers are well on their way to another top-10 draft pick. At 3-7, playoff hopes are gone. The future is perhaps even more uncertain now than it was last year with Dirk Koetter leading the way. Will Jameis Winston get a second contract? Is Jason Licht’s job safe? If it’s not, does Bruce Arians want to stick around to work with a new general manager?
The final six games of this season will play a significant role in answering all of those questions. Tampa Bay closes out the penultimate month of the season on Sunday in Atlanta, squaring off with two of its former coaches in Koetter (the Falcons’ offensive coordinator) and Raheem Morris (Dan Quinn’s assistant head coach).
