We've interviewed Jake Peetz for our open OC position.
— Tampa Bay Buccaneers (@Buccaneers) February 1, 2024
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have completed another interview for their vacant offensive coordinator job, and they’ve interviewed a candidate with a very popular set of credentials in the NFL lately — he’s a disciple of Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay.
The team announced Thursday it’s interviewed Rams passing game coordinator Jake Peetz for their vacant OC position. Peetz was the second candidate from the McVay pool considered, as the team also requested an interview with Rams QB coach Zac Robinson before he went to the Atlanta Falcons to be their offensive coordinator instead.
Peetz was LSU’s offensive coordinator in 2021 before moving to Los Angeles as an offensive assistant in 2022. He was promoted to passing game coordinator in 2023, where the Rams fielded a top-10 offense by both passing yards and points per game.
Peetz is not the last candidate the Bucs are set to interview from the McVay tree. The team is also expected to interview Kentucky Wildcats offensive coordinator Liam Coen, who served as OC for the Rams in 2022.
