Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen has reversed course after agreeing to stay in Tampa – as the coach is now in discussions to become the head coach of the Jaguars.
Coen, 39, was set to stay on in Tampa Bay as the league’s highest-paid coordinator after talks with the franchise.
But according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Coen was in Jacksonville on Tuesday in discussions to become the Jags’ next head coach – and had no contact with the Buccaneers.
Schefter added that the Bucs had made multiple attempts to get in touch with Coen, but were unable to do so.
Coen, who has also served as the Rams’ offensive coordinator, was with the Bucs for just one season in the role.
Despite injuries to Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, who only played seven games, the Bucs finished with the fourth-highest scoring offense in the league under Coen’s guidance.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield also finished with a career-high 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns.
