JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (WKYT) - Numerous reports indicate former Kentucky offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Liam Coen has agreed to become the next head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coen, 39, was at UK in 2021 and again in 2023 before spending this past season as the offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to hire Liam Coen as their next head coach. It’s been a wild 48 hours for the Jaguars and their head coaching search, which included losing out on Coen on Wednesday and then firing general manager Trent Baalke, only to then restart conversations with Coen about the vacancy.

Liam Coen was the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after holding the same job with the Los Angeles Rams and University of Kentucky.
