Buccaneers Conduct OC Interviews With Rams, Chargers Staffers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are actively searching for a new offensive coordinator following Liam Coen's departure to become head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team has conducted interviews with several candidates, including Rams offensive assistant Nate Scheelhaase, Chargers passing game coordinator Marcus Brady, and Vikings assistant Grant Udinski. Scheelhaase is seen as a strong candidate due to his recent experience with the Rams and his familiarity with Sean McVay's system. Brady, who has a diverse coaching background including success in the CFL and with the Colts, is also being considered, while Udinski has been part of the Vikings' coaching staff under Kevin O’Connell. The Buccaneers aim to maintain continuity in their offensive strategy, particularly for quarterback Baker Mayfield. The search indicates a clear preference for candidates with ties to the Rams' coaching lineage to facilitate a smooth transition.
