Bucs coach Dirk Koetter apologizes for 'unprofessional' Twitter jab at Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers had some Twitter fun at each other’s expense this week, but apparently this is the kind of thing Bucs coach Dirk Koetter takes pretty seriously.
Even though the Bucs didn’t start it – and we all know from our misspent youth on the playground that whomever started it is 100 percent at fault – Koetter apologized for his team’s (well, his team’s Twitter handlers’) role Thursday.
"I want to make sure, on behalf of the Bucs organization, that I apologize to the Falcons," Koetter said after an OTA practice. "Whatever that was supposed to be that went out on social media, that's not what our organization is all about. That was totally unprofessional and not smart on our part, whoever was responsible for that. Heck, we want to be playing in the Super Bowl, and we were home sitting on our butt while they were playing. So we have no room to be making fun of anybody that was in the Super Bowl, whether they won or not."
