This Liam Coen Situation is Crazy
Obviously the Jaguars are incompetently ran and keeping Baalke was always a baffling move. But firing Baalke just to get Coen back in the door after he just agreed to be the highest paid coordinator by the Bucs makes me think this has to be a done deal right? Coen even is ghosting the Bucs Front Office and Todd Bowles while he is in Jacksonville. I understand NFL teams can't block promotions from happening no matter what but just imagine if the deal doesn't get done. It would feel so weird for him to go back to Tampa after he basically snaked them like that.
EDIT: This story just got even crazier after looking at Twitter for another 5 minutes. Dianna Russini just reported that Jacksonville has offered Coen the ability to pick the new general manager and they will give him similar money and years to what Ben Johnson got from the Bears. Reportedly the contract he got from Tampa was contingent on him not taking another interview, which is why he was secretive about it. He told Todd Bowles is kid was sick and that's why he wasn't talking to the Bucs today.
