As soon as Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter’s press conference began, he announced that Ryan Fitzpatrick would be the team’s starting quarterback for their Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Koetter went on to explain that this is a week-by-week decision. Fitzpatrick will be under center this week, but Jameis Winston could return to the role at some point this season.
It may not have been the shocking move, but it had to be done. The only way Koetter can save his job is by winning football games.
