Liam Coen Leaves Buccaneers Days After Extension to Become Jaguars' Head Coach

Jan 24, 2025, 03:40 AM

Liam Coen, the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has informed the team that he is accepting the head coaching position with the Jacksonville Jaguars. This decision comes just days after Coen agreed to an extension with the Buccaneers. Negotiations between Coen and the Jaguars progressed rapidly over the past two days, with Jacksonville reportedly making an offer 'too much to walk away from.' Coen had reached out to Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles to express his interest in interviewing for the Jaguars job. The Buccaneers organization has been notified and is expected to begin their search for a new offensive coordinator amid frustration over how the situation unfolded. An official announcement is anticipated on Friday.
