The Jacksonville Jaguars have their new head coach in Liam Coen after an eventful process.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator, Liam Coen, had a head coach interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars and left them pretty impressed. However, it was reported that Coen was going to stay with the Buccaneers on a new contract and his name was withdrawn from the Jaguars gig. A day later, the Jaguars fired general manager Trent Baalke and would now have to find a new GM to pair with a new head coach.
