Even as Liam Coen was officially being named the Jaguars' head coach Friday afternoon, there was a twist from the typical playbook. An NFL insider said that Coen felt “strong-armed” into agreeing to a deal to withdraw his name from consideration for the Jacksonville job by agreeing with the Bucs to become the highest-paid coordinator in football at more than $4.

It's been a wild couple days for former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen, who is now the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. In a statement released Friday, Jaguars owner Shad Khan officially announced the hiring.

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.
