Buccaneers waste no time trying to find Liam Coen replacement

Todd Bowles isnt wasting any time looking to replace Liam Coen.

According to ESPNs Jeremy Fowler , the Buccaneers requested an interview with Rams coach NateScheelhaase for their offensive coordinator job.

Even just garnering a coordinator interview is a major career step for the fast-rising coach.

Scheelhaase had a long run in the college ranks, including a one-year stop as Iowa States offensive coordinator.

That performance helped him generate some NFL interest, and he ended up joining Sean McVays staff in Los Angeles as an offensive assistant and passing game specialist.

The Rams passing offense left a bit to be desired in 2024, as Matthew Staffords touchdown percentage and passing-yards-per-game mark flirted with his career-lows.

On the flip side, Scheelhaase and the offensive staff helped squeeze a career-low 1.5 percent interception rate out of the QB (excluding his three-game showing in 2010), and his 50.1 percent passing percentage was the second-best of his career.

In Tampa Bay, Scheelhaase would be tasked with overseeing an offense that finished top-five in both points scored and offensive yards.

While Coen got a career year from Baker Mayfield, the quarterback also showed success under former OC DaveCanales.

Assuming Mayfields resurgence continues, Tampa Bays new OC can be confident that theyre inheriting an elite offense.
