But how many seasons did he waste keeping Baalke.

Yeah but he got there eventually and did what was required to make it right. Coen was their #1 choice and they got him. A failure of an offseason has turned around in 24 hours coz he wasn't a stubborn w***er like a lot of these NFL owners can be.

Well I don't think anyone in the league is looking at this and thinking Coen hasn't done anything but done the Bucs dirty. This is even worse than when McDaniels spurned the Colts at the altar, because Coen arranged the meeting with the Jaguars in secret.

I won't be surprised if he has a bit of trouble assembling a grade A1 staff, because his actions of the last 24 hours are one raging red flag with respect to his character.

Im sure he doesnt care, set for life and the best offer he was ever going to get. Even if he carried on doing the same for the next 3 years i doubt he'd be offered as much as he was now. If people at the Bucs want to have a cry about that they are ****ing idiots. Every single one of them would have done the same.

Also of note is Coen hadn't signed the new contract the Bucs offered him.

He was always going to struggle to put together a A1 staff being a 1 year OC. No real change there.

See Bobby Slowik last year, everyone was talking him up, now he hasn't even got an interview with the offense going backwards for the Texans. If you dont strike while the iron is hot you might never get that chance again.

I wonder if teams are too focused on chasing the next hot young coordinator for their head coach. Of the top coaches in the league, sure, many were OCs or DCs before getting hired as a HC (McVay, McDermott, Quinn, Payton) but just as many weren't (Reid, Campbell, John Harbaugh, Jim Harbaugh). It isn't always about Xs and Os.

I don't begrudge him from taking the bag. My point is that I think it's piss poor in terms of how he has handled himself the last 24 hours. I mean, he ignores Tampa's phone calls all day, then he contacts Todd Bowles and tells him his son is sick which is why he's been unavailable today.

The lying doesn't sit well with me in the slightest. Just be a man FFS and tell them you've been offered a godfather package. Don't lie through your teeth giving the equivalent story of "my dog ate my homework."

Look at Commanders. Old bern around the HC block before, Dan Quinn, has the know how and assembles great staff. That kind of hire not to be sneezed at...mccarthy, carroll....

Yeah, I get it from that perspective.

However, maybe he didnt want to say anything coz he genuinely wasn't sure if he was going to accept the Jags new offer? Wanted to make sure everything was right with the contract before committing and didn't want to lose the Bucs new OC offer if it wasnt right.

Bit of a no win situation.

Not going to say it wont happen, but he never flew out of New York to Jacksonville.

But hey its better to be first then right with those types of accounts.
 
So Pete Carroll is now Officially :nflraiders: The Raiders Head Coach.
As per Ian Rapoport .

Good short term fit and I think he will have an impact from day 1.

Bit of a shocker, but to emphasise my point...

 
This article goes through wild last 48 hours of Coen deal but a point brings home how insulting Rooney rule is. Patrick Graham Raiders DC and Saleh in final three simply to satisfy rule and this last insulting interview with Graham when it was Coen already decided
