Dirk Koetter was asked by the local pen and mic club about his confidence level heading in to the regular season opener, as a first time NFL head coach, Koetter responded with a candid, if not downright honest answer; one that will surely have fans, ears perk up – while noting this was a downfall of his predecessor and a point of contention amongst fans. It will surely induce vomiting by some and high pitched screams by others. Former Buccaneers head coach Lovie Smith was terrible at in-game situational football clock management, to the point it was a detriment to the team – players psyche.
