Bucs OC Liam Coen as a HC candidate [Schefter: Coen is staying in Tampa on a new contract] [A reverse…Jags hire Coen as HC] (1 Viewer)

[Pocket Hercules]

I'm really curious to know the true back stories on why we aren't interviewing Coen or Johnson. I know we have heard that Johnson said "no thanks", but even if that is true, Coen is not in a position to turn away interviews. Is there something about him that our FO doesn't like?

Coen was pretty good at Kentucky and with the Rams.

They were 27th in points and 32nd in yards his one year as OC in LA. To be fair, eight games were started by backup QB's.

Don't know about Johnson, but it probably has to do with our QB situation. Rumor is he turned down the interview.

As far as Coen, apparently DA tried to interview him his first year but Coen refused the interview. We then offered him the job without an interview and he turned that down to go work for McVay. Then last year Coen apparently wanted an interview when we were replacing Carmichael, but DA refused the interview. So, I'm thinking there could be some bad blood one way or the other.

Underhill provided that info. He didn't say there was bad blood, but the way he was talking it sounded like it was personal one way or another.

Thanks for sharing, I had not heard that. Seems petty if true, but we're talking about human beings with big egos, so anything is possible.

It does sound petty but then again if a guy doesn't get along with your GM or some members of your front office it would be hard for them to build a team together. Too bad because I like the McVay branch of the Shanahan/Kubiak system. But, I do like the potential of the other young OCs like Brady and Moore, or Kingsbury who isn't that young anymore.

We wanted him as OC a couple years and he went to Kentucky instead. It could have something to do with that. But he would've been my 2nd choice after Johnson.

But you know that with McVay it's a OC in name only position

Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud reports the Buccaneers are “preparing” for Liam Coen to be offered the Jacksonville Jaguars head coaching job.

The smoke has been strongest on Coen and Robert Saleh for the Jaguars since Ben Johnson signed on with the Bears. Coen has also been linked to the Raiders, but has not had an official interview with the club yet. The Jaguars would certainly boost Trevor Lawrence’s short-term outlook with Coen, a creative screen-designer who excelled with the Buccaneers last year as they finished seventh in offensive DVOA. The Jaguars are reportedly set to meet with Coen tomorrow.

The chairs are quickly filling, and some fan favorite names are going to be left standing.

That dude is in a really good spot. I don’t fault him for staying

Was really hoping to see the Bucs lose this guy.
