Tampa Bay Buccaneers seem to be saving resentment against Liam Coen after their surprise decision to go to the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this month.
Coen and the Jaguars requested the opportunity to interview two attendees of the Buccaneers organization while the new chief coach continues to build their staff.
But Coen has been told in unequivocal terms that the BURs will not allow him to speak with the personnel members they want to hire.
Adam Schefter from ESPN reported That the Jaguars tried to speak with the coach of the offensive line of BUCs, Kevin Carberry, and the assistant coach of the offensive line Brian Picucci.
But the BURs issued a company not to their approach. The teams generally accept interview requests when attendees are interviewing for a promotion.
However, it is believed that these movements were on the side, which means that the BURs have every right to reject the request.

The reports suggest that the general manager of BUCS, Jason Licht, is “furious” with Coen after his clash.

Tampa Bay Times He also said that the general manager of BUCS, Jason Licht, is “furious” with Coen and chief coach Todd Bowles “could also be.”
Coen, 39, was ready to stay in Tampa Bay as the best paid coordinator in the League after talking to the franchise. He had programmed to interview with the Jaguars in person (after an initial virtual interview), but withdrew his name from consideration.
A day later, Coen went to Jacksonville after all to talk about becoming the new team chief coach and went on to seal a whirlwind.
Coen has managed to get a large part of his coaching staff, however, in the form of Green Bay assistant, Anthony Campanile, as his defensive coordinator.
Campanile will have the task of delivering one of the worst units in the history of the franchise.
The 4-13 Jaguars occupied the 31st position allowed and 28 at points in 2024 under the first-year defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen.
Nielsen was fired together with coach Doug Pederson, the offensive coordinator Press Taylor and most Pederson staff.
