At the Pro Bowl, Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield was asked about that initial Facetime call with now Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen.

As has been well documented by now, the Bucs offered to make Coen among the highest-paid coordinators in football, which he initially agreed to and withdrew his name from the Jaguars’ job opening.

However, before signing that new deal with Tampa Bay, Coen would end up taking that second interview with Jacksonville, and from there, things moved quickly with him then becoming the next Jaguars’ head coach.

In his one season with the Bucs, Coen helped build one of the more effective offenses in football, with Tampa Bay ranking top-five in scoring, passing yards per game, and rushing yards per game.

At the top of his to-do list in Jacksonville will be putting quarterback Trevor Lawrence in a position to find that kind of success.
