Tampa Bay Buccaneers Find Replacement for Canales in Liam Coen
In a surprising turn of events, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have finally found a replacement for their former offensive coordinator, Dave Canales. Canales recently left the team to become the head coach of divisional rival Carolina Panthers. However, the Buccaneers wasted no time in securing a new offensive coordinator, hiring Liam Coen to take the reins.
The news of Coen’s appointment has sparked excitement among fans and analysts alike. One notable figure who shared his thoughts on the matter is sports commentator Skip Bayless. Taking to Twitter, Bayless expressed his belief that Coen is the perfect fit for Baker Mayfield, the Buccaneers’ star quarterback.
“Liam Coen is the perfect choice for Baker Mayfield,” Bayless tweeted, highlighting the positive impact he expects Coen to have on the team. Bayless’ endorsement of Coen’s abilities adds weight to the decision made by the Buccaneers’ management.
Coen’s track record speaks for itself. Having previously worked within Sean McVay’s system, Coen brings a wealth of experience to the table. He started as an assistant wide receivers coach before progressing to become an assistant quarterbacks coach. In 2022, he served as the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams. This familiarity with a similar offensive system to the one used by Canales in Tampa Bay ensures a seamless transition for the Buccaneers’ offense.
The timing of Coen’s appointment is significant. Baker Mayfield is coming off the best season of his career and is expected to command a lucrative contract to remain with the Buccaneers. The team’s decision to hire Coen further solidifies their belief in Mayfield’s abilities and their commitment to his long-term success. By providing him with a comfortable and familiar offensive coordinator, the Buccaneers are sending a clear message that Mayfield is their quarterback of the future.
As the 2023 season approaches, all eyes will be on the Buccaneers and their new offensive coordinator. With Liam Coen at the helm, the team is poised for continued success on the field. Fans eagerly await the start of the season to see the impact of this new partnership.
