On firing Smith and hiring Koetter:Tampa Bay’s ownership and general manager Jason Licht had to know this move would come with much criticism. The Glazer family had to know that hiring their third head coach in the last five years would raise some eyebrows, even if they didn’t know it would come with comparisons to the Cleveland Browns.However, despite the loud and even over-the-top reaction from some of their fans and a handful of national media blowhards, what most of their critics are missing is that Licht and the Glazer family made the best move for their franchise by making the best move for their franchise quarterback.While Tampa Bay doesn’t have a lot of experience with having a franchise quarterback under center, it’s clear they’re going to do whatever it takes to give their new leader what he needs to succeed, and as hasty as the move to replace Smith with Koetter seems, it’s evidence of the Bucs’ commitment to Winston. http://www.footballinsiders.com/coaching-moves-not-about-change-for-giants-and-buccaneers/
