Why Jacksonville Jaguars’ process to hire Liam Coen was a ‘mess’ | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

[@davidreeves007]

Trent Baalke being fired was absolutely the reason our new coach took the helm! Fans love it because players love him!

[@dynomar11]

Duuuuvaaaaaaaallll 😁

[@geoffwood5169]

Your owner Khan isn’t loyal to anyone. The firing of Baalke is the latest example. Coen will be fired in 2 seasons, if he even stays. But Coen is in over his head.

[@garrettwilliams6396]

@@geoffwood5169 Not true lol. Shad is one of the most patient owners in the NFL when it comes to GMs and HCs. He even gave Urban Meyer like 7 more games than he needed to that season. I understand you’re mad as a Bucs fan but Shad is a loyal owner if I’ve ever seen one, sometimes to his own detriment haha.

[@romain8390]

@@garrettwilliams6396 why would the Buccaneers fan be mad? Their organization is shown that they know how to hire competently over the last half decade+. I wish Jacksonville luck because I always like the teal, but this was a sketchy way to do it

[@dngreen1683]

The answer is because Shad Khan made everything difficult by keeping Trent Baalke around when everyone said he should have fired him a while ago.

[@ASSwipe.]

Word is Ben Johnson woulda took the job given Trent baalke being out

[@desmoheli]

The Baker Credit is for real. He played amazing the last two years and even elevated people around him.

[@dynomar11]

For some reason it's never him. It's always the people around him. When are we going to just say Baker's a good quarterback and he makes me mediocre offensive coordinators look good. Just look at Freddy kitchens.

[@ronaldf8493]

Trevor is better than Baker so I have no doubt Coen will be successful

[@desmoheli]

@ Maybe, but I have not seen a lot of Trevor that would convince me of that. Mayfield has multiple Playoff Seasons including Wins with different coordinators in different systems and the overall offensive Roster of TB is much better than the one in JAX. If they don´t fix the O-Line in JAX then Trevor might be done by the end of the year. You can only take so many injuries before the body breaks dow, which I really dont hope for him.

[@SauceDarzell]

Fr tho Baker has these OCs on the fast track lol. He got paid & they got paid everyone is happy 💰💯

[@ronaldf8493]

@@desmoheli does Baker have a playoff win? Trevor got that in year 2. Baker also had a lot more talent around him compared to Trevor

[@jaybreaksfball3761]

Balke should have been fired after not drafting Hutchinson.

[@lafan4801]

Well , the guy got a 45m contract. Hes coached a lot of years. So his ship came in. Either he fixes Lawerence or not, Jags need to know. He also probably knows that with the current Bucs roster ( injury prone Godwin, old Evans) he may not be able to do better without a reset roster. Bowles’ defense also needs upgrades considerably. That will be tough with baker wanting more scratch too. Light has his work cut out.

[@Washington-Dreaming]

Liam Coen, just like his siblings, showed that Jacksonville is, “No Country for Old Men.”

[@mattphil4883]

We Got our HC now deal with it.

[@DrShankenstein]

😂😂Duuuuuuvall...

[@dcbfan1231]

Now say that to a Cowboys fan about their new head coach. That would be me. At least he didn’t say Duuuvaaaallll or anything weird like that.

[@edsmythe7020]

I would have picked Johnson, Smith, or Williams over Coen.

[@jaredwright9403]

They wouldn't have picked the Jaguars, though. Especially with Baalke still there.

[@davidreeves007]

I think Liam Cohen will be the head coach of the Jaguars for years to come! The man lives and breathes football and has been raised as a coach's son, grandson, and it's part of his DNA ! He has worked under the best and is, in my opinion, a football genius! How about we give him a chance and see what he does!! Coming off as a little goofy doesn't bother me in the slightest! We're all a bit goofy if our life is worth living! For real!

[@aron352352]

I would of chose Jaxon Deville

[@duketogo25]

@@davidreeves007his contract is 5 years. Unless there’s a total disaster and he’s worse than Gus Bradley was, he will get at least 4 of those 5 years. If he can fix the o-line, he’s golden.

[@PaulGualtieri-m6v]

Coen is going to realize too late that he screwed up and us Bucs fans are going to laugh.

[@aron352352]

You think he messed up? I think the jaguars messed up. Corniest coach ever

[@PaulGualtieri-m6v]

@@aron352352 I meant he thinks he is going to a great team and his experience so far will make him a great Head Coach.

[@WilliamJ.-jg3ym]

The Jaguars have always been "a mess," Mike. Specifically, a Hot Mess. Browns, Jags, Jets. Some things never change. Although the Lions give these three franchises hope. But, as with the Lions, it will take new ownership for the remaining three laughing stocks of the NFL.

If Baker Mayfield was great like you said, he would still be with the Browns. His greatness isn't the reason we have Coen now, Coen helped Baker realize his greatness

[@dynomar11]

Oof L take. The haslems are the worst owners in the league that no one talks about

[@mattdensley7566]

Baker had over 4k passing yards (9th) and 28td (7th) in the 2023 season (pre Coen). His numbers improved this season, but I'd still say he was doing alright before then.

[@Puma4986]

Yea no. Baker was great last year too before Coen

[@electriclott]

Uugg. Second year in a row the Bucs lost their OC. The "Roony rule" is dumb. You should be able to hire who you want too without taking race into account.

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

They can hire who they want. The Rooney rule is just to get minority coaches interviews at least. They're not forced to hire them but they need to interview them, the league and teams has agreed to it.

[@davidreeves007]

@electriclott Totally concur! The fact that they keep score on race just proves they want racism to be part of the process!! I promise you that these ownrrs choose who they think is best. Fans don't care if he's green with purple polkadot and orange eyes! All we want is a team that wins football games!

[@fnxmusic1]

@@davidreeves007this is stupid. Before the Rooney rule most minorities did not get coaching jobs. In reality, in a league that’s 70% black most former players should have the opportunity to transition into coaching.

[@GaryD-z7p]

Jags are a joke. Mayfield made this guy. He was shady during the entire hiring process then lies to press saying didn’t come back because GM was fired. His resume is garbage. This is an awful hire.

[@Washington-Dreaming]

Last time I checked we live in America. Russia, China, North Korea and Iran haven’t invaded - yet. Stay tuned. But in America companies should be able to hire anyone they want, as long as the candidate is a US citizen in reasonable standing. Period. End of story.

[@henrylee8510]

Yes and a person can freely change jobs to better their situation. They'll fire him in a heartbeat if they go 0-10

[@eddiewinehosen6665]

They can hire anyone they want. The Rooney rule just states that they need to do at least 2 interviews with minortiy coaches. They've agreed to it within the league.

[@davidb9531]

One year play calling 😂, there are so many better coaches be they black or white in the league - as a Vikings fan though thanks, we get one of the best DCs in the league for another year cos nobody will touch him and he spoke out about it

[@nopethatswrong79]

You do realize being a US citizen doesnt matter to be hired and work in the US

[@nopethatswrong79]

​@davidb9531 No one will touch him because he is currently suing the league and I believe 4 teams he is lucky he has a job in the NFL because it's a major conflict of interest especially if he gets fired again
