In an exciting development for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team has reached an agreement with Liam Coen to be their new offensive coordinator. This news comes just 24 hours after initial reports indicated that a deal had yet to be finalized.

Greg Auman, a reporter for Fox Sports, broke the news, stating, "Bucs have reached an agreement to make Liam Coen their new offensive coordinator. Former Rams assistant coming to Tampa." This announcement puts an end to the back-and-forth with Coen and solidifies his role in Tampa Bay's coaching staff.

It was earlier reported on Friday morning that the Buccaneers were in talks with Coen, with Bucs QB Baker Mayfield further confirming the news later in the day. Mayfield, who worked alongside Coen during their time in Los Angeles in 2022, spoke highly of him, saying, "I got to work with Liam in L.A. Great guy. Really, really great guy."

The addition of Coen brings continuity to Tampa Bay's offense, as he is expected to implement a similar system. Although some changes in terminology may be made, the overall structure of the offense remains intact, which Mayfield highlighted as an important factor for the skill players and offensive line.

While rumors circulated that no deal was in place and the situation remained uncertain, it is now clear that Coen is heading to Tampa Bay. This leaves the University of Kentucky in search of a new offensive coordinator to fill the void left by Coen's departure.

The signing of Liam Coen signals the Buccaneers' commitment to strengthening their coaching staff and bolstering their offensive strategies. With Coen's expertise and experience as a former Rams assistant, Tampa Bay aims to continue their success in the upcoming season.

As the NFL offseason progresses, the Buccaneers will be eager to see how Coen's arrival impacts their offensive game. Fans can anticipate an exciting and potentially dynamic offense as Coen begins his work with the team and helps refine their strategies for the future.
