After an impressive season that saw them reach the divisional round of the NFC Playoffs, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and quarterback Baker Mayfield expressed a public interesting in running things back.
Expectations are that Mayfield will re-sign with the Bucs but before those negotiations move forward, he required a bit of knowledge: Who would be running the offense?
“It all just kind of depends,” Mayfield told NFL Network earlier this week when asked if he would re-sign with Tampa Bay. “Obviously Tampa, we’re going though a little bit of a OC search right now. It’ll start there. They were the first ones that gave me a chance, and (I’m) thankful for them. We’ll see. Taking it one day at a time.”
Mayfield’s concern was addressed on Friday with word that the Buccaneers would be hiring Kentucky’s Liam Coen as their next offensive coordinator.
