JACKSONVILLE – The Jacksonville Jaguars have finalized their 2025 coaching staff, the team announced today.

"What I really like about this staff – and this really began to shape in the last few days – is that we already speak the same modern, NFL language," said Head Coach Liam Coen, whose initial Jaguars coaching staff sports 174 collective seasons of NFL coaching experience (8.3 per staff member, with an average age of 42). "We each have remarkably similar backgrounds, coaching influences and innovative offensive or defensive concepts. With this shared terminology, we can accelerate past the standard learning curve that most staffs face, and instead prioritize installations on offense, defense and special teams. I am excited to get started."
