Buccaneers Reach Extension With Offensive Coordinator Liam Coen
3 mins agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers reached a contract extension with offensive coordinator Liam Coen on Wednesday that will put him amongst the highest-paid coordinators in the NFL, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. The move comes after it was reported on Tuesday that the Jacksonville Jaguars' head-coaching job was essentially Coen's to lose. It's a huge win for Tampa's offense in 2025 and beyond, especially for quarterback Baker Mayfield, who had been making a huge push for the team to retain Coen after he had a career year in 2024. Mayfield had career-highs in passing yards (4,500), touchdown passes (41) and completion percentage (71.4%) in his first year working with the 39-year-old Coen. If Coen had departed for Jacksonville, the Bucs would have been searching for a new offensive coordinator for the second straight offseason after Dave Canales became the Panthers head coach last offseason.
