No promises were made to Liam Coen by the Bucs. No coach-in-waiting stipulations were added to his contract, similar to what the Patriots did with Jerod Mayo. He simply saw remaining in Tampa Bay as the best opportunity for his future.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen was one of the top targets in the Jacksonville Jaguars head coaching search, but Coen has removed his name from consideration for the position and will remain with the Bucs on a new contract, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter.

It appeared Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen was a finalist for the Jacksonville Jaguars head-coaching job; the Tampa Bay Times even reported there was a growing belief it was the 39-year-old's job to lose.
