ORLANDO, Fla. -- Last month, when interest was heating up over then-Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen for head coaching jobs, it was suggested to quarterback Baker Mayfield that he might be an "OC Whisperer."
After the 2023 season, Dave Canales became the head coach of the Carolina Panthers despite having only one year of experience as a coordinator and calling plays in the NFL. Coen was in the same situation. After only one year as a playcaller this past season, he accepted the Jacksonville Jaguars' head coaching job last month.
