Liam Coen told the Jacksonville Jaguars earlier this week he liked things with Tampa Bay and was going to stay as offensive coordinator of the Buccaneers.
The offensive coordinator had a chance of heart after the AFC South team fired general manager Trent Baalke.
According to reports on Wednesday, Baalke is in Jacksonville and was back in discussions about taking the job as Jaguars head coach.
A dramatic turn: Liam Coen informed the #Jaguars on Wednesday he was staying in Tampa as OC on a new contract. But after the firing of GM Trent Baalke, the Jags reached out to see if Coen would reconsider. Now, Coen is in Jacksonville and appears to be headed towards a deal. pic.twitter.com/zvwTeNOlLX

The Khan family owns the Jaguars and AEW, a wrestling organization.
In sports entertainment parlance, this would be one helluva swerve if Coen takes the Jaguars job.
Coen had not spoken to the Bucs since yesterday afternoon. They tried to reach him and have been unable to. Instead of signing his contract, which was a formality, he secretly traveled to Jacksonville to meet with Jags owner Shad Kahn.
