Dirk Koetter likely out, Jameis Winston to return in 2019

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are likely going to move on from head coach Dirk Koetter on Monday.

Rapoport has had no firm word on the move, but the strong feeling is that Tampa will undergo another head coaching search after a disappointing season.

Koetter’s tenure will end without a playoff appearance and a disappointing sub .500 finish. His best season came back in 2016 where the upstart Bucs narrowly missed out on the playoffs.

Since then, Tampa has sat in the cellar of the NFC South as their playoff drought has extended to over a decade.
