Great news all around! Just have to add more weapons on offense and figure out a way to make the defense look NFL average.
Man the Jags are one dysfunctional organization. Lets wait until all the top GM/Coaching options are gone before we fire the Gm we should have got rid of weeks ago.
Yeah that cost them dearly when they should have done that first for a clean slate. Hire the GM and then let the GM hire the HC.

Their version of Gene Deckerhoff is already campaigning for the Jags to hire Boselli as GM and have him make another run at Coen
Great news! So Glad that Coen did the right thing for himself and the Bucs!
Already fired up about 2025 season. Patch the holes in the defense, and hit the ground running.
lol but seriously. He turned them down already. For them to basically beg him to give them another chance would be even worse, and that would be doubled if he turned them down again. Turn the page and start fresh. Hire a GM and let them look at some new candidates.Man the Jags are one dysfunctional organization.

Agree with DH, the Jags should take another look at Lefty.😁
"The #Buccaneers felt a “significant amount of concern” regarding the potential loss of Liam Coen, as one source told me. HC Todd Bowles advocated to ownership and front office for his offensive coordinator to return — and Coen was rewarded with a big pay bump as well."

lmao...yeah like they needed Todd Bowles to advocate to realize this franchise needed to retain Coen
Excellent news.
Next year, I think Bucs have a down year and we promote Coen to HC. *crosses fingers*

exactly why he would stay. Mentioned here in the board during the season and even mentioned by Prisco yesterday
PriscoCBS: Coen can’t lose. If the Bucs are good and the offense is again good, he can go somewhere next year. If the team stinks, he will almost certainly take over as coach.

I don’t think they needed him to advocate but I also think everyone that matters within the Bucs views Bowles very differently than the Red Board lol
Inside OBP he is much more likely revered as the TEAM FIRST coach who rescued the team from Dead Cap hell by producing playfff seasons with less than average talent and depth on the D (because of dead cap) and who helped build the culture that has free agents returning etc.
the Red Board started with Bowles as sort of a DEI hire who killed Tom Brady
you don’t have to be done cutting edge whiz kid risk taker to be valuable as a HC, especially to a team obviously in transition

Coen is staying as the OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR (the Ben Johnson model)
During the season some here posted that the Bucs should retain him EVEN IF THAT MEANT FIRING Bowles but few saw the OC scenario as realistic BECAUSE THE OVERWHELMING VIEW ON THE RED BOARD DURING THE SEASON WAS THAT BOWLES IS INCOMPETENT.
It was NOT that the team KNOWINGLY relied on Bowles to make due on defense with what he had. Bowles defense was the problem, not the talent, not the injuries, right? That was and is the DOMINANT view on the red Board.
And then right after the playoff loss . . Licht says:
"what [Todd Bowles] has done with what we have, I think, has been remarkable."
Almost no one here accepted that as a singn that it was UNDERSTOOD within the halls of OBP that Bowles was making due; but that belief - right or wrong - is a HUGE reason why Coen would stay as an OC, the chance to be a true SB contender with an infusion of defensive talent (not a replacement of Bowles.) is right here.
It may not work out that way, but if you are trying to make a decision during this season about the future then you would definitely have a different perspective (than fans) if when you were hired Licht he made clear to you - and Bowles made clear to you --that the team was just emerging from its dead cap hell and would focus on the offense first . . . because Bowles could make due for a season more.
Just oneway to look at it
