Bucs OC Liam Coen as a HC candidate [interviewed with Jags on Jan. 15]

No thanks. He's getting a lot of hype that he doesn't deserve at all. Let's be clear about something. The Bucs offense has been on fire starting last season. Coen was not the OC then.

In 2022 he had a second stint as OC for the Rams when Kevin O'Connell went to head coach the Vikings. His offense was 26th in scoring. For clarity, the Rams offense was 10th best in scoring in 2021 before Coen came along and 8th best in scoring in 2023 after Coen was ran off.

He OC'd for Kentucky in 2023 and their offense wasn't good either and he was ran off. That's two failed gigs back to back.

Now here he is in 2024, OC'ing for the Bucs who's offense is just as hot as they were last year without him. Probability says the Head Coach is more responsible for that then the OC.

I'd much rather an OC who came into a struggling offense and turned them into one of, if not thee best offense in the NFL. That screams leader, game planner, and great coaching.

Coen is the exact opposite. Someone who failed once to keep a good offense going, the time after to turn a mediocre offense into a good one, then was able to keep an offense good. That screams to me as a coach who is in tune and answering to a better coach with whom he gets help from.
