Koetter emotional talking about his parents and what they did to set him in motion to have the success he's had. Shoutout to Pocatello ...

Koetter: "This team is headed in the right direction. Easy to say, hard to do."

Over Mike Smith's 5 years as Jaguars DC, JAX ranked 4th in both fewest points & fewest yards allowed. https://t.co/FgCJwgbYlt
— Scott Smith (@ScottSBucs) January 15, 2016

Koetter was right about Mike Smith teams being disciplined with penalties. Lowest in NFL 2 years, among 10 lowest teams all 7 years in ATL.
