The Vrabel hire looks better with each hire made across the league. These teams are so damn desperate and are getting taken to the bank by the unknown.

Yet if it works out, they'll look like geniuses

Not my fault the links are broken when I share them I would say they are there but I’d sound crazy. So we will just say I’m a Jerk who likes to post non functional links.

Okay... but what I was looking for was hard confirmation that Coen had signed with Jacksonville. Sure at this point everyone expects him to but as yet there's nothing confirming he's signed on the dotted line or that is for top money or that he gets to pick the GM

 

[Give Kraft A Hand]

I’m not sure what this guy has done to deserve total control but okay…assuming he has a say in the GM of course

Buccaneers OC Liam Coen reportedly expected to become Jaguars head coach, reversing course from Tampa Bay extension

Coen had reportedly taken himself out of the running for the Jacksonville job, but appears to have changed his mind.

Did he write on a napkin that he is resigning as O.C. of the T.B.B.s ????????

Pretty amateur hour for Coen to duck calls and use his kid as a deflector.

Be a man, Coen

His own GM? You can do that?

Wtf

Why start now?

Sure. But it's usually reserved for the really high stature candidates like Harbaugh and Shanahan. The Jags are desperate.

Mike Florio has a nice article on that. Basically, once he flames out at Jax (most likely), he’s going to have a lot of convincing to do to get another NFL job.

The Jags desperately need someone to elevate Lawrence. I can see why they decided to go all in on Coen to try to do that.

The key here which I bolded is that Coen actually didn’t sign a contract but rather had a verbal agreement. The day he was supposed to come in to sign it he ghosted the Bucs and met again with the Jags. It would have been more professional if he had simply told the Bucs that he needed a little more time to weigh his options, but he may have been afraid of the offer being pulled off the table and potentially not landing the Jags gig after all. I’m not sure. Ethical or not he certainly used whatever leverage he had to get the coaching job he wanted in the end.
