Liam Coen might not be staying put in Tampa after all.
Just a day after agreeing to terms on an extension with the Buccaneers as their offensive coordinator, Coen is in Jacksonville speaking about the Jaguars’ head coaching opening and has emerged as the frontrunner for the position, NFL Network Insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Coen informed the Jags he was taking himself out of the running for their HC vacancy. However, after Jacksonville parted ways with general manager Trent Baalke later in the day, the team reached back out to Coen, per Pelissero, and now the two sides potentially are headed toward a deal.
Around the NFL will have more shortly.
In a surprising turn of events, Liam Coen has emerged as the front-runner for the Jacksonville Jaguars’ head coaching position. This news comes after Coen agreed to a contract extension with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to remain as their offensive coordinator.
Coen, who has been praised for his innovative offensive schemes and play-calling, has quickly risen up the coaching ranks in the NFL. After working as an assistant under Sean McVay with the Los Angeles Rams, Coen joined the Buccaneers this past season and helped lead their high-powered offense to a successful campaign.
With the Jaguars in need of a new head coach following the departure of Urban Meyer, Coen’s name has been floated as a potential candidate for the job. The team’s leadership is reportedly impressed with Coen’s coaching style and believe he could be the right person to lead the team in the future.
While nothing has been made official yet, sources close to the situation suggest that Coen is the top choice for the Jaguars’ head coaching position. Fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement from the team, as they hope Coen can bring success and stability to the franchise. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
