Mike Smith Out As Tampa's Defensive Coordinator
6 years agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers are removing defensive coordinator Mike Smith from his duties, according to sources. This move comes as no surprise, as the Bucs defense is among the worst in the league through six weeks of the season. Tampa's D has allowed a brutal 439.8 yards per game, which is second worst behind the Chiefs. They allow a league-worst 355.6 aerial yards per contest and a league-high 34.6 points per game. Any offense facing the Bucs has the opportunity to put up a big fantasy day. With Smith out, the team is promoting linebackers coach Mark Duffner to the defensive coordinator position.
