The Facts: HC Dirk Koetter has said he will continue being the offensive play-caller next season, but the move he made Sunday could at least provide him with another option. Todd Monken will no longer coach receivers but rather serve as a full-time offensive coordinator while offensive assistant Skyler Fulton has been promoted to receivers coach, Koetter confirmed Sunday.
Diehards Line:
The Bucs averaged 20.9 points per game, which ranked 18th last season, with Koetter calling plays, which seems likely to continue. Monken, meanwhile, could provide a new voice in the ear of Jameis Winston, whose development seem to plateau last season. But increasing Monken's role as a full-time offensive coordinator may also allow Koetter to devote more time to issues that involve the entire team. It's also possible that Monken could have some play-calling duties in training camp and the preseason, with Koetter making a final decision based on how things go. But remember, Koetter was hired as head coach because of his work as a quarterback whisperer for Winston and his reputation as one of the NFL's more successful play-callers.
