00:00Some big news out of the National Football League within the last five to ten minutes or

00:05So as the coaching carousel continues to spin, of course

00:08We'll talk big-picture questions for that NFC Championship matchup between the two divisional foes the Eagles and the commanders in just

00:16Mere moments, but DRS one of the hottest names in the coaching carousel this offseason Liam Cohen

00:23Offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after his first year in Tampa Buccaneers

00:27OC Liam Cohen is taking himself out of the running for the Jaguars head coaching job

00:34Who's fate in Tampa on a new contract that will now place him among the highest paid coordinators in the NFL Baker in the Bucs?

00:43retain their

00:45OC that's from ESPN's Adam Schefter in the last 10 minutes

00:50There was some conversation DRS in the last 48 hours around Liam Cohen that he was on track

00:55Rather shortly to become the next head coach in

00:59Jacksonville now that is not going to be the case great news for the Buccaneers. It would seem the Jaguars back to the drawing board

01:07Yeah, there's a couple different ways that you can look at this too because number one when most people see that awesome

01:13He didn't want that job, but we understand how the professional ranks work where your agents getting feedback like hey, buddy

01:18I don't even know if you're actually the leader right now in the clubhouse. Do you really love this job?

01:23I can go right back to Tampa and get you more money

01:25Which is probably what happened and also understand this money is so good now for offensive coordinators that are really good at their job

01:30Like Liam Cohen where why would you do this to yourself?

01:33It's a situation that might not put you in the best light you say I might only have one chance Ben to strike and get

01:38A head coaching job in the NFL as long as I'm happy where I'm at

01:41I'm gonna get a pay increase love working with Baker may feel my offense is gonna be good in a division that we can win

01:46Maybe I can then press it down Ben Johnson did similar things where maybe he thought he wasn't ready or the perfect

01:51Organization for him wasn't there goes back has a lot of success picks the organization once and gets the job

01:56We've also seen it go backwards and particularly from a Tampa Bay offensive coordinator perspective as well

02:02Do you remember back Brian Ruff, which hey, you know what I could probably be the coach for Jackson and now I like that

02:07I'm gonna press it down and think I can get a job somewhere else

02:09I don't know if that guy's even in football at this point

02:12So be careful what you wish for as your perfect landing spot because that opportunity might not get up again

02:17But I do like people that bet on themselves and if Lee and Cohen really said, you know what?

02:21I think I'm gonna get this job, but I don't think it's right. Let me go back to Tampa

02:25There is something to be said about that as well

02:27So big win for Tampa because continuity usually wins the day and I'm sure Baker Mayfield offense are extremely happy

02:33Which includes Todd Bowles that he's happy to come back as an OC not a head coach

02:36I like that but there are extracurriculars and maybe you shouldn't pass up an opportunity that might not come back your way again
