Buccaneers Coach Dirk Koetter Says the Entire Team Should Be Fired After 48-10 Loss to Bears

Sunday's game against the Bears did not go like the Buccaneers were expecting.

Not only did Tampa Bay switch quarterbacks at halftime, benching Ryan Fitzpatrick for Jameis Winston, but the team also allowed Chicago's Mitchell Trubisky to throw six touchdowns in the 48-10 contest.

After the game, coach Dirk Koetter was asked if this performance would make him think about making a change at defensive coordinator, and Koetter explained that more people than defensive coordinator Mike Smith played a role in the loss.

"We were horrific in all aspects of football [Sunday], all aspects," Koetter said.
