Dirk koetter to the Bucs as OC

Bucs hired Dirk Koetter as offensive coordinator. It's an excellent hiring for a team that got left in a 2014 lurch when OC Jeff Tedford was diagnosed with a heart condition before the season even began. Tedford ended up coaching zero games before being released from his contract, and inexperienced QBs coach Marcus Arroyo left much to be desired as interim play-caller. Koetter oversaw consistently explosive units during his three-year tenure in Atlanta, though the cupboard was obviously well stocked. That's not the case in Tampa, but the Bucs do have a building-block talent in Mike Evans, and are likely to use the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft on a signal caller. Even with a rookie quarterback, the Bucs will be a lock to improve upon their 2014 point total of 277.
