The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are bad. They're 3-5, they continue to be terrible on defense and the main reason they're winning games instead of losing them like last year is that they added Jameis Winston and Dirk Koetter. Lovie Smith's specialty, though, continues to be a problem. That's an issue for a head coach who won just two games last year, and needs to justify his continued employment this season.
No one knows what the Glazers will do, but it's difficult to see a scenario where they hang on to Lovie Smith if this team doesn't at least show the promise of improvement over the second half of the season.
