If he Buccaneers punted Lovie Smith so they could hang onto Dirk Koetter, they may have some competition for him.

According to Matt Barrows of the Sacramento Bee, the 49ers interviewed the Bucs offensive coordinator today.

The 49ers are interviewing Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson tomorrow, and he’s reportedly the front-runner for the job.

But Koetter also earned high marks for his work with rookie quarterback Jameis Winston this year, and raised his profile in the process.
