JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Betting odds say Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen will become the next head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coen has -350 legal sports betting as the overwhelming favorite to fill Jacksonville’s coaching vacancy.

Jacksonville Jaguars Next Head Coach Odds

Liam Coen -350
Ben Johnson +125
Joe Brady +450
Mike Vrabel +850
Kliff Kingsbury +900
Anthony Weaver +1300
Mike Kafka +1600
Brian Flores +1800
Jon Gruden +1700
Drew Petzing +2000
Wes Phillips +2400
Pete Carroll +3000

The talented offensive coordinator has put the league in notice with notable improvements for Tampa Bay’s offense, especially the run game. Tampa Bay’s rushing yards per game went from 31st (90.4 ypg) in 2023 to fourth (149.2 ypg) this season, and Baker Mayfield threw for 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns.

Coen has gotten credit for the offensive revelation, yet the Jaguars are the only team that’s requested an interview with him for a head coaching position. That makes him a strong legal Florida sports betting favorite to become the next coach at -350 odds, especially considering competitor Ben Johnson expects to have a longer duration in the NFL Playoffs.

Ben Johnson Next Up At +125 Odds

Coaches can’t physically interview for a coaching vacancy until their current team is eliminated from the NFL Playoffs. That NFL rule alone gives another advantage to Liam Cohen over Ben Johnson, whose Detroit Lions are the betting favorites at legal NFL betting sites to win the Super Bowl.
