Jaguars head coach and 2024 Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen.
A year ago at this time, some Bucs fans might have wondered if Liam “El Serpiente” Coen, the Jaguars head coach, and Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht might throw down with fists behind a bar.
Coen had jilted Licht in January of 2025 after agreeing to accept a huge raise to stay on as Bucs offensive coordinator. Coen slithered out of town without a proper ‘thanks but no thanks.’ Tensions were hot.
Well, time has cooled things down.
Coen noted this morning at the NFL owners meetings that he had a conversation with Licht yesterday and one topic was the Bucs having regular joint training camp practices and a preseason game. (There was no mention of Licht blocking Coen on Facebook.) Coen thinks the Bucs and Jags having a long-term summer relationship would be smart and sensible. He wants it to happen but acknowledges ultimately the NFL makes the call on preseason games.
Coen also talked about one of his very best friends, new Bucs playcaller Zac Robinson, the fifth Bucs offensive coordinator in as many years.
What stood out most to Joe — and yeah, it still pains Joe a little to see and hear Coen — is Coen raving about what a genius Robinson is in the screen game.
Coen said Robinson’s work with the Falcons last season produced highly impress screen-game film and the Bucs should be a diverse force offensively behind their stout offensive line.
