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…)

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…)

“Todd, I freaking love Baker Mayfield. And this Bucky Irving, wow! Jiminy Christmas I could get Mike Evans the rock! Love ya’ man!”

Could Todd Bowles call on a guy who saved the Bucs in 2002 and wants back into the NFL so badly he’d drink a six-pack of warm Stag beer just to return? (more…)

The power players at One Buc Palace know what Bucs fans share about their feelings online.

And that means team officials know the current chaos and unrest among their fanbase after the Liam Coen departure for Jacksonville yesterday. (more…)

“Bake, man, it’s all about the bag. I’m not about to be underpaid like you are.”

So which national “insider” will you trust when it comes to the Liam Coen mess?

Is it a name you like that can be bought and sold easily, or is it Prickly Pete Prisco of CBS, who is on the ground in Jacksonville regularly? (more…)

Think big!

Joe knows Team Glazer likes splash. And if the powers that be at One Buc Palace really believe they have a team that can make a Super Bowl run in 2025, and they really believe in offense and really believe in scoring points and really believe in maxing out their quarterback’s talents, Joe has the perfect guy to rattle the cages of the NFL. (more…)

Bucs offensive line coach Kevin Carberry.

The Bucs lost two key coaches yesterday. They cannot afford a third. (more…)

Gone.

It appears Joe can now start to refer to Liam Coen as “former Bucs offensive coordinator.” (more…)
