    The Jacksonville Jaguars welcomed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen as their new head coach on Monday, and he confirmed he will maintain a key component of why he was hired as their head coach. 

    “Yes, we’ll absolutely be calling football plays,” Coen said when asked if he would be the team’s offensive play-caller. 

    Tampa Bay’s 2024 offense thrived under Coen: the Buccaneers had the league’s No. 4 scoring offense (29.5 points per game) and No. 3 total offense (399.6 yards per game). Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield, the 2018 NFL Draft’s top overall pick by the Cleveland Browns, produced career highs in completion percentage (71.4%), passing yards (4,500), passing yards per attempt (7.9), passing touchdowns (41) and passer rating (106.8) — all while bringing Coen’s playbook to life in 2024.

    Now, Coen’s task is to maximize the potential of another first overall pick in the Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence, who went No. 1 in the 2021 NFL Draft. 

    “How do we make Trevor Lawrence and this offense as dynamic and explosive as we can be? We’ve got to build it around him as well. We’ve got to make every part of this about improvement, and he will be a part of that process,” Coen said Monday. “He’s earned that right. I cannot respect his toughness and mentality and work ethic more than I do already from afar. This will all be about Trevor right now.”

    Lawrence entered the NFL as one of the most heralded quarterback prospects in recent memory after leading the Clemson Tigers to consecutive national championship games in 2018 and 2019, including winning it all in 2018. The first task for Coen and whoever the Jaguars new general manger will be has to be simply keeping Lawrence upright by reinforcing his offensive line.

    The 25-year-old Lawrence played a career-low 10 games in 2024 after suffering an AC joint sprain (shoulder) and a concussion. That was following a 2023 campaign in which he also battled both of those injuries as well as a high ankle sprain and a knee sprain. 





    The Jacksonville Jaguars made headlines this offseason with the hiring of new head coach Liam Coen, who will also be taking on the role of offensive play-caller for the team. Coen, who most recently served as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, is known for his innovative and aggressive play-calling style.

    One of Coen’s main priorities will be to mold the offense around second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who showed flashes of brilliance in his rookie season. Coen has already expressed his confidence in Lawrence’s abilities and has spoken about his excitement to work with the young quarterback.

    Under Coen’s guidance, the Jaguars offense is expected to be dynamic and explosive, with an emphasis on spreading the ball around and keeping defenses off balance. Coen’s experience working with quarterbacks like Matthew Stafford in Los Angeles bodes well for Lawrence’s development and growth as a player.

    Fans can expect to see a fast-paced and high-scoring offense under Coen’s leadership, as he looks to bring a new level of excitement and success to Jacksonville. With Lawrence at the helm and Coen calling the shots, the Jaguars offense is primed for a bright future.

  • Jim Nantz, Trevor Immelman, CBS execs weigh in on Justin Thomas letter


    Jim Nantz is prepping to do double duty this week from Kansas City, where he will broadcast the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open (being played in San Diego) on Saturday and call the AFC Championship game from Arrowhead Stadium between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Yet he still had time to hop on a Zoom call with colleagues and already had seen the letter that the PGA Tour’s Justin Thomas had sent to his fellow players imploring them to be more open and accessible to the Tour’s broadcast partners.

    “Justin Thomas did the broadcast partners a big favor and as a result, he did something that was a gift to the viewer,” he said. “Because I do believe it will help create change and more participants in what we’re looking for…So good on JT, good for all of us.”



    Recently, Justin Thomas found himself at the center of controversy after uttering a homophobic slur during a PGA Tour event. In response, the reigning Player of the Year issued a heartfelt apology and vowed to do better. However, the incident has sparked a larger conversation about language and behavior in the world of golf.

    CBS sportscaster Jim Nantz, Masters champion Trevor Immelman, and other CBS executives have weighed in on the situation, offering their thoughts on Thomas’ letter of apology. Nantz praised Thomas for taking responsibility for his actions and showing maturity in his response. Immelman echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of learning from mistakes and striving to be a better person.

    On the other hand, some CBS executives expressed concern about the impact of Thomas’ actions on the image of the sport and its sponsors. They stressed the need for golfers to be mindful of their words and actions, as they are role models for fans of all ages.

    Overall, the response to Justin Thomas’ apology has been mixed, with some applauding his accountability and others calling for more concrete actions to address the issue of discrimination in golf. As the conversation continues, it is clear that the sport has a long way to go in promoting inclusivity and respect for all players.

    Earlier last month, Paulina Gretzky celebrated her 36th birthday with a small family gathering. Her father Wayne Gretzky, mother Janet, husband Dustin Johnson, brothers Ty and Trevor, and brother-in-law Austin Johnson were all present.

    Paulina shared photos from the evening on her Instagram. One showed her and Dustin sitting on a pink couch with striped cushions near a seashell-themed wall. Another featured her sitting with her parents at the dinner table while Dustin stood behind them.

    A group photo saw Wayne, Trevor, Ty Gretzky, Austin and Dustin all dressed in evening suits. Dustin also wished her a happy birthday on Instagram, calling her an amazing wife and mom.
