The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are closing in on losing their offensive coordinator for the second year in a row.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen already interviewed virtually with the Jacksonville Jaguars after the Bucs lost their playoff game to the Washington Commanders, and now he’s set to travel to Jacksonville in person to a second interview. According to ESPN’s Ian Rapoport, he will do so with two other candidates: former New York Jets coach Robert Saleh and Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham.

Coen is the only offensive mind so far to get a second interview, which could be a bad omen – the Jaguars are looking to get the most out of quarterback Trevor Lawrence and his development, so Coen would be a good option there -down. If he were to leave, he would be the second Buccaneers coordinator to leave after just one year, with 2023 OC Dave Canales becoming the head coach of the Carolina Panthers before the start of last year.
Coen is scheduled to speak in Jacksonville on Wednesday, the first person to interview all three candidates so far.
