BSPN Predicts Liam Coen Returns To Bucs
January 18th, 2025
Staying put?
Joe predicted early this past season that Liam Coen was doing such a good job as the Bucs offensive coordinator, he’d be a head coach somewhere in 2025, NFL or college.
Joe is selfishly very happy to type that BSPN thinks Joe was dead wrong.
NFL insider Dan Graziano went through all the openings for NFL teams and predicted who would land the job. Graziano doesn’t believe Coen will be the new coach of the Jags, the only team for which Coen is known to have interviewed.
Graziano’s intel is that Buffalo offensive coordinator Joe Brady will be the next guy to try to develop Trevor Lawrence.
Yes, Joe already has an Uber scheduled to whisk Joe to Hooters to guzzle beer, scarf down some wings and watch football over this.

Speaking of Hooters, when is the Port Richey location going to finally re-open? C’mon, it’s the playoffs!

Fantastic news. Coen has the potential, he just needs a larger body of work. The continuity will be huge for our offense and we can truly hone in on defense this offseason.

Baker getting the same OC 2 years in a row?
Wouldn’t that be a first?
January 18th, 2025 at 8:38 am
Siiiiiick, and I bet Bowles proves us wrong with a healthy defense next year with some new pieces. We can be pretty damn good.
January 18th, 2025 at 8:40 am
Who cares?
January 18th, 2025 at 8:45 am
After NEXT season, someone filches him we get a draft pick

Another year another no “super bowl”! Brady comes here and we win a Super Bowl and we should have won two or three. I love Baker, but stats don’t win Super Bowls, just ask the Dolphins (Marino). Keeping it real in Ireland.

Bowles MUST hire a d/c . Then he can focus on time management.
January 18th, 2025 at 9:10 am
Pay him and have him waiting in the wings if Bowles starts to lose control early in the season next year. Groom the dude to be the next HC.
January 18th, 2025 at 9:43 am
It’s already been proven that Bowles cannot win playoff games with a top flight offense. He’s too conservative to wield it properly.
Imagine if Dungy had an offense like this one to go with his elite defense.
Unfortunately he too was way too conservative on offense.
Only Manning put him over the top. He got the Colts defense up to a championship caliber level though.
Fire Bowles now!

Nice location. Back in the day would to stop there on my boat. Don’t get that way very often. Didn’t know it was closed. Was it the storm(s)?
Yes, storm-related.–Joe

Todd Bowles. Only reason he still has a job.

Liam was not detailed enough to overcome Bowles’ soft practice regimen. The offense shot itself in the head repeatedly over the last two games especially. Boneheaded play calls and lack of situational awareness really cost the team. Look, we all knew Bowles pass defense can’t stop anyone. Been that way since he arrived in Tampa (barring a few exceptions).
Liam showed he is a brilliant schemer but weak on details and in close games, a poor tactician. He’s definitely not ready to be a head coach.
Meanwhile, Dan Campbell would have had these same Bucs at 15-2.

I would only advocate for Coen as HC if it came down to where it was a forced choice between one or the other. Coen fans can be objective.
January 18th, 2025 at 10:45 am
This is good, but he needs to take a key from Dave Canales and reign in these silly mistakes in game. Especially in the 2nd quarter. Also why are we taking so many days off between games? Especially after a win? It is ridiculous. Too many injuries, too many mistakes.
Fundamentals matter

If true then we know the Bucs will have 1 quality coach on the staff!
January 18th, 2025 at 11:09 am
Thank you Lord.
He is an upgrade from DCanales.
He will get better and learn from this year. Liam is only 39! Just a kid. He’s going to grow in his craft. He’s got what it takes.
We need a defense coordinator and new talent. We will be great.
January 18th, 2025 at 11:15 am
Liam weak on details? Liam didn’t miss his landmarks and fumble. Like any other offense in the NFL, 2nd year is always better than the 1st.

When your offense can’t execute basic handoffs in the 4th quarter of the NFL playoffs, that falls back on the coaching staff.
Bill Walsh 2.0 needs another year to develop before he has any chance at being an HC.

^^^^^^^
This is a big deal for the entire team. 4 OCs in 4 years. Madness.

Voyager – mental mistakes made on the field, especially in pressure situations, especially by a rookie, correlate directly to the level of intensity applied during practice, relentless repetition, then those things become instinctual. There are too many mental mistakes and that reflects a change is necessary in practice regimen and attention to details. I agree it should get better in year two.

Thank you Tbbucs3.

“Meanwhile, Dan Campbell would have had these same Bucs at 15-2.”
LMFAO.
Opinion, conjecture, projection.
Do you have anything that actually supports this conclusion? I expect not.
January 18th, 2025 at 2:29 pm
Good to have some continuity. Can he play DB or LB? Or edge?
January 18th, 2025 at 2:54 pm
GoneGator – he has the Lions at 15-2 with a more injury decimated roster than the Bucs. I know, you have to connect two or three dots to get it. Don’t rush.

@Beeeg: we don’t get a draft pick for a non-minority coaching change……(I think)
January 18th, 2025 at 4:32 pm
Bro – if only YOU could connect 2 or 3 dots we wouldn’t be having these pi$$ing contests – Lol. You’d have already figured out you were wrong about most things discussed on this site.
You keep saying things, people keep blowing holes in your logic, and you come back with a cute nickname or some kind of mis-direction move or an out of context stat that does nothing to prove your point.

Coen Sam Darnold’ing that playoff game cost him. Good for the Bucs, hopefully he can learn from the experience.

Charlie Brown’s teacher yammering more blind support for one of the worst passing defensive coaches in the league, as the data show. But at least she doesn’t know why never forcing a team to punt is a bad thing. Cue Forrest Gump again. Trying to reason with such is like trying to teach a horse to make a fist.
