Will The Bucs Clean House?

If history proves anything, then the short answer is yes. Since Malcom Glazer bought the Bucs in 1995, they have gone through six coaching changes. That means the Glazers have given their coaches just over 3.5 years on average to win. If we look at only post Super Bowl era coaches the shelf life of a head coach is only 2 years. While changing things up every couple years isn’t a recipe for success, neither is choosing a bad coach. After showing Gruden the door, the Glazer family has had a knack for not hitting the head coach jackpot.

Last week I wrote an article defending why sticking with Koetter is the smarter choice. As we all know consistency breeds success (just look at any perennial playoff franchise). Even though I still do believe Koetter has much more to offer overall than his recent predecessors, he might very well get the boot. Here is why: His squad has simply been downright terrible in every phase of the game. From bone headed play calling mistakes. To what is seemingly absent minded coaching, it has culminated to an awful Bucs team and an embarrassing 2-6 record. Even with the Bucs being at home this week against the Jets, they are still a 2.5 point underdog. With them being underdogs at home against McCown and Co., the entire coaching staffs seats will get inevitably warm if they can’t find a way to win against this sub-par squad.
