It appeared Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen was a finalist for the Jacksonville Jaguars head-coaching job; the Tampa Bay Times even reported there was a growing belief it was the 39-year-old's job to lose.

Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen is taking himself out of the running for the Jaguars' head coaching job to stay in Tampa on a new contract, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

No promises were made to Liam Coen by the Bucs. No coach-in-waiting stipulations were added to his contract, similar to what the Patriots did with Jerod Mayo. He simply saw remaining in Tampa Bay as the best opportunity for his future.
