The Tampa Bay Buccaneers exchanged one former college football coach for another.The team announced on Thursday that it has hired Dirk Koetter as its offensive coordinator:After finishing 30th in total offense in 2014, the Buccaneers released former OC Jeff Tedford, who had also taken a leave of absence from the team after having a coronary angioplasty done in the offseason.
In Tedford's place comes Koetter, 55, who has previously been an offensive coordinator with both the Jacksonville Jaguars and most recently the Atlanta Falcons.The Buccaneers have the first overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft, and many expect the team to select one of Marcus Mariota or Jameis Winston. Drafting a franchise quarterback would give Koetter a nice foundation from which to build.
In four of the last five years, Tampa finished in the bottom half in terms of total offense. With Koetter now in the fold, the unit should become an area of strength very soon.Around The NFL and NFL.com's Chris Wesseling believe Tampa did a nice job filling the vacancy
