After parting ways with head coach Doug Pederson following a disappointing 2024 campaign, the Jacksonville Jaguars have seemingly found their replacement.

The Jaguars tabbed Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen as their next head coach Thursday, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The two sides still must complete contract negotiations, but the coach is returning to Tampa while representatives finalize the deal.

Jeff Howe of The Athletic added Coen informed the Buccaneers that he will be taking the job.

ESPN's Adam Schefter added the "the belief around the league" is the two sides will work out a deal.
