This is the story of a drama in three acts, a waltz whose NFL sometimes gratifies us. The Buccaneers Liam Cohen's offensive coordinator will become the new main coach of the Jaguars. The information was confirmed by several journalists, including Adam Schefter d'Espn. If the details of the contract are not yet known, this constitutes a two -day ubiquitous end:
Act 1: Liam Cohen refuses the post to the Jaguars, without the reasons being mentioned. We then speak of a huge extension to Tampa Bay to become the best paid coordinator in the League.
Act 2: Following his refusal (and that of Ben Johnson), the owner Shad Khan decides to return the General Manager Trent Baalke.
Act 3: Liam Cohen finally decides to accept the position.
No need to be normal to conclude that Trent Baalke was the reason why the young coach refused the post. It must be said that the now ex general manager has not only made good decisions, leaving Aidan Hutchinson to take Travon Walker.
Liam Cohen and secret negotiations
There where the situation becomes quite incredible, it is when Albert Breer (Si.com/amazon) reports that the big contract extension proposed by the Buccaneers in Liam Cohen had a condition: not to pass a second interview with Jacksonville.
This is why the coach would have secretly met the leaders of Jacksonville on Thursday, before finally informing Tampa leaders of his decision to leave.
After the departure of Dave Canales last year, Baker Mayfield will still have to start again with a new coordinator after only a year.
A year and then leaves
Liam Cohen goes to Jacksonville after only one season at the head of the Buccaneers attack. A successful year, since the attack was placed in 5th place in the league on the won yards, and in fifth position for the points scored.
With Trevor Lawrence which remains a quarterback to polish, the new coach has a nice challenge.
But beware, everything is not always perfect with him. In 2022, he had been the offensive coordinator of the RAMs. And at the time, Los Angeles only displayed the 30th attack on the NFL on the points scored.
