The central figure, a coach known for his offensive strategy
Include this one to the Tampa Narrows Buccaneers' history of being cleared out at the sacrificial table, but that doesn't make it more tasteful or indeed proficient. Liam Coen's exit from the Bucs to end up the unused head coach of the Jacksonville Pumas is filled with intrigue.
And breaking his word.
So presently it's portion of his job-hopping history that incorporates a few peculiar timing that take off individuals baffled in its wake
Way Coen Cleared out ‘Kinda Dirty’
This happens in the NFL, I figure," a Buccaneers source talking approximately how Coen is taking off the group said Friday morning. "I wish coach all the victory in the world. But the way I'm hearing he went approximately this isn't right. Kinda dirty."
According to different reports, counting from the Tampa Narrows Times, and the source talking to OutKick, this story incorporates more turns and turns than a maze:
Coen concurred to stay as the Buccaneers hostile facilitator on Wednesday, in portion since he chosen going to Jacksonville to be the head coach with Trent Baalke as the common supervisor didn't request to him.
To keep Coen, the Bucs and their hostile facilitator struck a verbal understanding that would make Coen among the most elevated paid facilitators in the NFL. The bargain was marked off on by the Glazers, who claim the Buccaneers.
It was a three-year assention, and it was well known inside the Bucs office since Coen talked to numerous colleagues and indeed players, and told him he was remaining. The bargain to remain, by the way, was unexpected on Coen concurring not to proceed talking with the Jaguars.
Shad Khan Made Another Run At Coen
Coen was assumed to sign his unused bargain late Wednesday. He didn't.
He was assumed to sign his unused bargain on Thursday. But no one might discover him, and he wasn't taking anyone's phone calls.
Seems Jacksonville proprietor Shad Khan, who chosen he needed Coen so much he terminated Baalke on Wednesday evening, was making another run at Coen. He called Coen after the terminating and inquired to meet with him.
Coen, who concurred to the Tampa Cove bargain but had not marked it, at that point flew to Jacksonville to meet with Khan. And no one inside the Buccaneers' organization knew it. The Bucs thought they had secured their hostile facilitator with a juiced up contract.
Messy Exit For Coen
And, a source affirmed, Coen didn't tell Bucs coach Todd Bowles almost it until late Thursday evening – after being out of touch for over 24 hours after concurring to stay.
The Times detailed Coen told Bowles he was with his child at a therapeutic arrangement. But he was moreover in Jacksonville talking about the modern work with Khan. How those two work is vague and Coen's spouse took to social media to complain the entirety scene included a parcel of "misinformation."
This is truly untidy at best and shady at most noticeably awful. And Coen may be constrained to clarify the timeline of him telling the Bucs one thing and doing another at his early on press conference.
This isn't deception:
The Bucs have been cleared out at the certifiable sacrificial table, as they have some time recently. Charge Parcells concurred to gotten to be the team's head coach in 1992 but at that point sponsored out. Incredibly, the Bucs made another run at him in 2002, and he concurred once more, and at that point supported out again.
Kentucky Fans Have Seen This Before
In 2021, he bounced from the Los Angeles Rams to the College of Kentucky. And in 2022, he hopped back to the Rams, as it were to return to Kentucky in 2023.
The understanding of his 2023 return to Kentucky was that he was committed to the program, per OutKick's Trey Wallace.
And Coen was committed—for one season.
In 2024, a month earlier to the begin of spring hone, Coen cleared out to go to the Buccaneers to gotten to be their hostile facilitator – a position he filled for as it were one season some time recently his most recent wild hop.
