Like the Buccaneers Become the first team to lose its offensive coordinator in the consecutive years since the Ravens 2013-2014, this development came after it originally seemed that the NFC South team had concluded an agreement to keep Liam Coen. A Jaguars The decision on the front office certainly seems to have changed Coen’s plans.
When the jaguars fired Trent Baalke Shortly after Coen refused a second interview, AFC South Club contacted his best candidate and asked that he would reconsider the Light of the GM reshuffle, according to ESPN.com. The presence of Baalke would be dissuasive for certain coach candidates this year, and although Coen is among them, Michael Dirocco d’Espn indicates that the Director General was not the main reason why Coen initially refused a second meeting of Jags. That said, Coen Wednesday called “embarrassed” the jaguars, who suddenly changed CAP accordingly.
At the time of dismissal Doug Pederson January 6 Shad Khan Called a complete overhaul – of which an obviousness of Baalke would have meant – “suicide” for the organization. However, barely two weeks later, he left. The Jags had seen Ben Johnson Express problems with their configuration, because Baalke was doing a research that could have ended with him through the door – according to hiring. This would undoubtedly have influenced the GM Jags of four years to go to certain safe directions. Instead, he came out and Coen will now have a major word in whom replaces the besieged executive.
Coen said to GM Jason Licht He asked for a record OC to stay in charge, the Albert Breer de Si.com notes, Greg Auman of Fox Sports indicating that the BUCs were ready to pay it would be nearly $ 4.5 million a year. We heard on Wednesday that the number would have been in the Vic Fangio Quartier among the best salaries of coordinators. Coen will do much more with the Jags, who were linked to the authorization of “Johnson level money”. The property of Bucs approved the increase in coen but failed to continue a negotiation battle with their one year OC, adds Breer. However, the sides had not finished talking about money.
The initial offer of Tampa Bay emerged before Coen’s virtual interview with the Jaguars, which the Glazer family encouraged him to take. The property of Bucs, however, said that his offer to Coen was subject to that he did not take a second interview with Jaguars. (However, even if Signed Coen has signed a BUCS contract, Mike Florio de Pro Football Talk added that the NFL rules would have prevented BUCS from blocking other jags meetings.)
Admittedly, realizing that he had a great chance at the work of the jags, Coen again asked the Bucs more money. The property of Tampa Bay replied, by Breer, confirming that no additional increase would come. Although the Bucs wanted a Coen response on their initial proposal on Monday, he blocked on Wednesday. During this wait, a report said the BUCs were ready to lose Coen. However, it was before Baalke’s Jags’ decision. The previous presence of Baalke in Jacksonville seems to have kept the offer from Tampa Bay to Viable Coen.
Coen, 39, informed the Bucs he was staying and would sign an extension. This did not dissuade the Jags, who were the only team that seriously considered coen. This should have limited the lever effect of ore. After all, he has not stayed with the same employer since the 2018-20 seasons, his first visit with the Rams, and his stay of Rams OC did not go well in 2022. Cowboys, raiders and Saints did not interview Coen. But Bucs talks have doubled as another option, strengthening its position in this Florida battle.
The reports indicated that the BUCs were unable to reach Coen, who was to sign the agreement on Wednesday afternoon, but he asked Licht if he could do it on Thursday. Thursday morning, the Bucs had not heard of him. GM assistant Mike Greenberg contacted Coen about the contract of another attacking assistant. This call remained unanswered, just like Licht and Todd bowles The efforts to reach 2024 BUCS OC, by Breer, who adds the Coen agent then informed the BUCs that his client was dealing with a personal affair. After other Bucs attempts to reach Coen failed, he told Bowles personal affair to Bowles on Thursday afternoon while informing his boss that he was still considering Jacksonville’s position. A Jags source then kicked Bucs Coen in Jacksonville.
This component does not exactly make the management of the situation by Coen be superb, although Breer indicates that the Jags wanted Coen to keep his late visit to the county of Duval. But he managed to go up the coach scale – although in a round – with the extraordinarily rare luck as HC recruit to choose his GM effectively. Kyle Shanahan Had this opportunity in 2017, but he had certainly climbed to a higher NFL perch when the 49ers gave him this power. Coen is an NFL OC twice, although the ex-Sean Mcvay Hire has only two years of work (and two others at university, in Kentucky).
Coen’s delay also gave the Jaguars the possibility of meeting the requirements of the Rooney rule. They had already interviewed several minority candidates, but only one of these meetings (Robert Saleh“S) was in person. While Coen negotiated, the Jags met Raiders DC Patrick GrahamWho could have canceled his meeting if the coen talks were disclosed.
This also does not highlight Jacksonville’s search, but it is not the only team to use the Rooney rule as a box to check rather than give a strong consideration to the hiring of a minority candidate. Saleh’s second interview never occurred, while Coen material was moving to the goal line, and the first is now back with the 49ers as DC.
Despite Coen’s unequal curriculum vitae, many within the organization of the BUCs considered him as Jeff Darlington tweets of Espn.com. In fact, Darlington adds that a scenario in which the team fired Bowles and promoted Coen would have been at stake if the week 18 had ended without qualifying in the playoffs. This would have recalled the Bucs decision to dismiss Lovie Smith and promote her OC (Dirk koetter) in 2017. BUCS also promoted the interior to fill their current HC work, with Bruce Arians“The resignation raising Bowles, who is now looking for a new game player.
Bowles has dodged rumors of shooting for years now, having set up accusations in the NFC South title in each of the last two after hanging on to secure the BUCs a home match in the playoffs Tom BradyThe last season. The Bowles part of this disorderly divorce makes its status which is worth monitored next season, but for the moment, it will turn to another OC research.
