The narrative of Coen going dark on Tampa Bay’s front office — a day after spurning Jacksonville and agreeing to return as Tampa Bay’s offensive coordinator — certainly did not paint him in the most positive of lights. However, Coen’s wife, Ashley, said there was more to the story than was being reported.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen's reported acceptance of the Jags head coaching job is getting really awkward. Coen's recent activity has a lot of moving parts, making it hard to keep everything straight.

On Wednesday, it looked like Coen had made a decision, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter reporting that he had removed his name from the Jaguars’ list of coaching candidates and intended to return to the Buccaneers with a new deal that would make him one of the highest-paid coordinators in the league.
