TAMPA, Fla. _ Black Monday is looming across the NFL in a few weeks and there promises to be lot of head coaching changes.
Among those on the hot seat is Bucs coach Dirk Koetter, who is 10-19 since going 9-7 in his first season as Tampa Bay's head coach.
Koetter still can boast the No. 2 overall offense (430.1 total yards per game) and the No. 1 passing offense (331.4 yard average).
At 5-8, the Bucs still have a very low-percentage chance of earning the final wild-card spot if they can win their next three games.
Regardless, Bucs QB Jameis Winston says he is fighting for Koetter to return in 2019.
"Yeah, I'm always fighting for my head coach," Winston said Thursday. "Every week. I think we all are. We've got a lot of respect for that man. He holds us to high standards, and we've got to hold ourselves to that standard, too."
