The list of teams looking for a new head coach grew by one on Wednesday night when the Buccaneers walked Lovie Smith off the plank and we’ll be talking about that move on Thursday’s edition of PFT Live.

Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune will join Mike Florio to discuss the reasons why the Bucs decided to make that move, including talk that they want to promote offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter to the top job for the 2016 season. They’ll also talk about other possibilities in the event Koetter isn’t the next man up and the reaction to the move among Bucs players.

Jay Glazer of FOX Sports will join Florio as well for a wider look at the coaching searches going on around the league and the other big stories in the NFL heading into Wild Card weekend.

As always, we also want to hear what PFT Planet thinks. Email questions at any time or get in touch on Twitter at @ProFootballTalk to let us know what’s on your mind.

It all gets started at noon ET and you can listen to all three hours live via the various NBC Sports Radio affiliates, through the links at PFT, or with the NBC Sports Radio app.
