“Greeny, you’re going to be chewing on more than a Gatorade bottle if you go work for Shad Khan.”

So Joe spent time to figure out what allegations were and were not true afer all the accusations thrown out in the past 48 hours about what Jags coach and former Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen did or didn’t do — as he went from a $4 million a year coordinator with the Bucs to allegedly a $13 Million Dollar Man (per year) head coach. (more…)

“I’ll get my guy, Mike.”

One NFL certainty in a sea of snakes and clowns is that Baker Mayfield is severely underpaid. (more…)

Rams assistant Nathan Scheelhaase.

When Joe learned Liam Coen was the ex-Bucs offensive coordinator, Joe threw out the name of Lincoln Riley to replace him.

“Go big!” Joe thought. Now, initially, it seems the Bucs are looking for something less dramatic. (more…)

What could have been.

Joe fully understands the majority of Bucs fans reading this here site wanted Todd Bowles to either retire or get bounced by Team Glazer. (more…)

Mixed signals in 2024, too.

Joe understands yesterday was Liam Coen Hate Day.

Bucs fans had a full 24 hours to vent after the shocking Thursday news. The second-best offensive coordinator in team history bolted in the dead of the night to Jacksonville to take over the Jags. (more…)

So among the many unsourced, gossip-magazine-style reports from major news outlets about former Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen jilting the the Bucs to take the Jaguars’ head coaching job, was a recurring take that Coen blamed his lack of communication with the Bucs on a sick child. (more…)

Words released.

With all the wide and varying stories floating out on Twitter of what exactly, allegedly happened between the Bucs and Liam Coen, now the key figure in this drama has spoken. Sort of. (more…)

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan with his offensive coaching pupil Bobby Slowik.

Joe was researching for known assisants working with quality offensive play-calling head coaches like Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, Matt LaFleur and Kevin O’Connell. Sadly, none of these guys have experience as a playcaller.

And then… (more…)

“Baker, what the F just happened?”

The Bucs were either a victim of an attempted shakedown by a valued assistant coach or the Bucs tried to strong-arm a soon-to-be new NFL head coach.

The truth very likely stands in the middle. (more…)

PRESENTED BY

Most Bucs fans are enraged this morning after former Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen slithered his way out of town to be head coach of the Jaguars.

Various unsourced reports (and fans should realize those have a high rating on the BS meter) claim Coen didn’t even have the decency to be professional/candid with the Bucs about his intentions — the team that just offered him a massive raise and always treated him right.

Comment below to share your rage with fellow fans. Indecent comments will be deleted.

So regular readers here read multiple stories the past few days quoting Jaguars radio play-by-play man Frank Frangie, the top afternoon radio host in Jacksonville. (more…)

Making sense of craziness.

Former NFL punter and current media juggernaut Pat McAfee’s head seems to be spinning as much as Joe’s. (more…)

The savvy, shrewd, seasoned, calculating and wildly successful international negotiators at One Buc Palace aren’t named Jason Licht, Todd Bowles or Mike Greenberg. (more…)

The full story (allegedly).

Really, really, really solid reporting here on the behind-the-scenes moves, dodges and broken pledges between former Bucs offensive coordinator/new Jags coach Liam Coen and the Bucs. (more…)

Former NFLer defends.

Joe has chatted with Ross Tucker a handful of times at NFL events. Really good guy. Obviously very smart given his Princeton degree and who he played college football with (Kyle Brandt). (more…)
