Spreadsheeter not a fan of Dirk Koetter.

A lot of Bucs fans, perhaps Team Glazer too, are enamored with the work of Bucs offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter. [read more]

Man, Bucs fans are at the edge of their office chairs this morning itching for clues leading to their next head coach.

“I think next year, the expectations are going to be set that we need to make the playoffs because we have the talent; we’re going to have the talent to do it.” — Jason Licht, Dec. 27, 2015. [read more]

Wondering what ex-Bucs guard Ian Beckles had to say about the Lovie Smith firing? Joe’s got that — and more.

All kinds of topics were on the table. [read more]

Derrick Brooks speaks, and will speak again at 4 p.m. today.

At 4 p.m. today on WDAE-AM 620, it’s a pretty sure bet that Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Brooks will break the “Silence of the Icons.”

But it will not be the first time Brooks will have addressed and summarized Tampa Bay’s challenging 2015 season. [read more]

America’s Quarterback can walk thanks to Doug Martin.

Yes, even for those wearing black arm bands mourning the loss of Lovie Smith, things are looking up at this point in Bucs history. [read more]

Mike Evans helps a Bucs fan in time of need.

Yes, Joe has been a bit harsh on Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans for his on-field antics. That’s because those stunts with referees helped drag the Bucs down to their 6-10 record. [read more]
