Which NFL gig is former Detroit Lions OC Jim Bob Cooter a candidate for?

According to Fowler, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have requested permission to interview Cooter for their current offensive coordinator vacancy.

As noted by Fowler, Cooter helpt lead the Jaguars’ offense to the No. 10 passing attack in the NFL in 2022.

Why it Matters

During the 2022 season, Cooter played a role in the Jaguars having the No. 10 passing offense in the entire league as he worked directly with Trevor Lawrence. Now, because of that success, he has landed an interview with the Buccaneers, where he COULD work with Tom Brady IF Brady sticks around.
