Bucs hire former Rams offensive line coach Kevin Carberry
TAMPA — New Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen reached back to his stint with the Rams to hire offensive line coach Kevin Carberry.
Last season, Carberry served as the Saints’ assistant offensive line coach. But in 2021-22, he directed the Rams’ offensive line. His seven seasons in the NFL also include stops with the Cowboys and Washington.
The Bucs finished last in rushing offense the last two seasons.
The Bucs have added another piece to their coaching puzzle as they plan to hire Kevin Carberry as their new offensive line coach, per Dan Graziano of ESPN. Tampa Bay is taking Carberry within the NFC South division as he was with Saints last season, but he also has a connection with new offensive coordinator Liam Coen going back the season before with the Rams. Carberry won a Super Bowl with Los Angeles in the 2021 season.

He next moved to the collegiate level as a graduate assistant for Kansas from 2009 to 2011 and then as the defensive ends coach for Stephen F. Austin during the 2012 and 2013 seasons.
It was when Carberry made the jump to the NFL where he also moved from the defensive side to the offensive side of the ball. His first NFL opportunity came with the Dallas Cowboys as Carberry was hired as an offensive assistant for 2014 and 2015. Bill Callahan was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach for Dallas at the time, so when he became the offensive line coach for the Washington Redskins, Carberry joined Callahan a year later in Washington to be their assistant offensive line coach in 2016 and stayed for the 2017 as well.
