The Bucs are on the wrong end of history as they are the first team to lose coordinators at the same position in back-to-back offseasons since the Ravens in 2013-2014. One of those coordinators went on to win a Super Bowl so perhaps Liam Coen or Dave Canalas can complete that common goal.
The more pressing issue, and one the Bucs care about, is simple: who can replace Liam Coen and lead this offense?
The offense saw record improvements in 2024. Baker Mayfield had a career year, Bucky Irving was one of the best rookies in the NFL, and Mike Evans found success once again. This offense is returning a lot of key pieces. Finding a coordinator will be easy, but who would be the right fit?
