The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reportedly found their new offensive coordinator in Liam Coen. The former Kentucky offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach was one of eight candidates to interview for the Bucs’ vacant position.
Coen who spent several seasons with the Los Angeles Rams, was current free agent, and 2023 Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield’s offensive coordinator in 2022. Coen was pivotal in getting Mayfield ready for the Thursday Night Football game against the Rams on a one-day turnaround and the rest of the 2022 season.

At the Pro Bowl games, Mayfield was asked about his relationship with Coen and the system he will bring to the Bucs by several members of the local media. The pending free agent said there will be a lot of similarities which is good for the continuity of the players on offense.
“Obviously I got to work with Liam (Coen) in L.A. Great guy. Really, really good guy. If they lock that down for sure, it’s a similar system obviously. Same system just some different terminology and how he wants to call things but there is something to say about that with continuity on the offense. For skill guys, the offensive line, so it’s important to have.”
