Jaguars owner Shad Khan\u2019s son and AEW owner Tony Khan couldn\u2019t even deliver this type of storyline swerve regarding Liam Coen\u2019s stunning change of plans.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe call that a plot twist, a massive plot twist for the Jacksonville Jaguars for their head coaching search,\u201d NFL Network insider Rapoport said Thursday night.<\/p>\n
In one of the more stunning developments in recent coaching search history, Coen agreed to become the Jaguars\u2019 head coach, per multiple reports, after previously removing himself from consideration and agreeing to a Buccaneers extension that would have made him the NFL\u2019s highest-paid coordinator.<\/p>\n
Coen shocked many around the NFL with his maneuvering during this wild 48-hour stretch that included him leaving his now former team unable to contact him.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs one person said about the two-day saga that saw the Jaguars lose their GM, the Buccaneers lose their OC and Coen accept two jobs \u2013 one that made him the NFL\u2019s highest-paid coordinator, and another to become Jacksonville\u2019s HC: \u2018I\u2019ve never seen anything like it in my life,’\u201d ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter tweeted.<\/p>\n
It takes a lot for sports executives to be shocked in this day and age, especially since deals can seem tantalizingly close only to fall apart in seconds or to be resurrected when seemingly dead on arrival.<\/p>\n
But Coen\u2019s saga is one that surely will be talked about for years to come.<\/p>\n

Coen, the first-year offensive coordinator, originally pulled himself out of consideration for the Jaguars\u2019 gig and instead opted to return to Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n
The Buccaneers then awarded him the most lucrative coordinator contract in the spot, with Rapaport noting the deal was \u201cdone, it was agreed to, everything was fine\u201d aside from staffing questions.<\/p>\n
But everything was not fine.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd then he kind of disappeared,\u201d Rapoport said.<\/p>\n
The Jaguars fired general manager Trent Baalke later that day, which changed the equation for Coen since that had been a factor in why he passed on the job, per ESPN.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville reached out to Coen to ask him to reconsider after the move and he met Thursday with Khan and interim general manager Ethan Waugh, per the report.<\/p>\n
The Buccaneers, meanwhile, had some alarms going off when they could not contact Coen.<\/p>\n
Coen told Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles \u201cearlier Thursday night\u201d about his sudden change of heart but did not talk to general manager Jason Licht or the rest of the front office, per ESPN.<\/p>\n
\u201cReally went dark on them for the last 24 hours as they tried to get answers, he tried to get answers as well but for a different situation,\u201d Rapoport said Thursday night. \u201cThey were trying to figure out what was going on with Liam Coen, why hadn\u2019t he signed his extension, he actually was heading down to Jacksonville \u2026 where he is in the building right now talking to them about their head coaching job.\u201d<\/p>\n
Those talks led to the sides agreeing to a deal late Thursday night, per reports, and an announcement could come Friday.<\/p>\n
The Jaguars are hoping Coen can help stabilize their franchise and get the most out of No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence, who has underwhelmed relative to high expectations thus far in four seasons.<\/p>\n
They also still have to find their new general manager and it\u2019s fair to assume that Coen will have a say in that process.<\/p>\n
The Buccaneers, after being left at the altar, will be searching for their third offensive coordinator in as many years.<\/p>\n
The one advantage they have is the last two coaches to hold that position \u2014 Coen and Panthers coach Dave Canales \u2014 have both parlayed their success in that role into a head coaching job.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo much of this is about Trevor Lawrence and making sure the quarterback position is right,\u201d Rapaport said. \u201cLiam Coen did an excellent job as an offensive coordinator for the Bucs, that has been no debate. But how he got there? Certainly, I would say, is a little bit spicy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
