Dirk Koetter Q&A: New Bucs Head Coach on Roots, Strategy and His Franchise QB

TAMPA, Fla. — First-year Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter keeps an array of interesting mementos around his office, starting with a collection of 12 helmets from every spot on his playing and coaching journey. The helmets line the top of a bookcase behind his desk.

On a coffee table, he keeps a mint copy of Dr. Seuss' Oh, The Places You'll Go! When asked about the book, Koetter turned very serious. "That book has one of the best messages," Koetter said. "That's a great book for a football player to read."

Very true, and even for a coach.
