This past season, Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offensive coordinator Liam Coen demonstrated remarkable success, even as the team faced injuries and ultimately exited the NFL playoffs in the first round. The Bucs' offense, under Coen's guidance, functioned efficiently, effectively adapting to changing lineups without missing a beat.
Coen's offensive strategy, inspired by Sean McVay, utilized innovative motion and route designs, which not only disoriented opposing defenses but also provided quarterback Baker Mayfield with clearer reads. The Buccaneers' standout performance also included a resurgence in their run game, elevating them to a top-five rushing team, a significant improvement from previous seasons.
With Coen's success attracting attention from other franchises, he recently interviewed for the head coaching vacancy with the Jacksonville Jaguars, a team boasting promising talent like former No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence and rookie sensation Brian Thomas Jr. The potential for Coen's departure raises questions about the future of the Buccaneers' offensive strategy and personnel.
