Jacksonville Jaguars hire Liam Coen as head coach

The Jacksonville Jaguars have officially hired Liam Coen as their new head coach, marking a significant change for the franchise. Owner Shad Khan expressed his commitment to building a winning team in Jacksonville, highlighting the swift decision to bring Coen on board. Coen, who previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, had initially indicated he would stay with the Bucs but changed course after discussions with the Jaguars. He aims to instill a championship culture and maximize the talents of star quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The hiring followed a whirlwind process, including the departure of general manager Trent Baalke and a quick second interview with Coen. As head coach, Coen is expected to play a crucial role in the team's future direction, including the search for a new general manager.
