The 2025 NFL season for the Jacksonville Jaguars ended in the most disappointing way. From now on, it’s all about improving on what was done, and for that, the front office is gradually building the staff to achieve better results. The arrival of Liam Coen will be accompanied by a new coach, who will aim to help Trevor Lawrence unlock his full potential.

According to reports, Spencer Whipple is set to become the new QB coach for the Jaguars, a key position to help enhance Lawrence’s skills on the field. If his arrival is confirmed, Coen will slowly start to build his team for the upcoming season.

The information was announced by NFL insider Adam Schefter, who, via his official X (formerly Twitter) account @AdamSchefter, reported the arrival of the former Arizona Cardinals coach to join Liam Coen’s staff.

The Jaguars will look to reverse the poor impression they left last season. With a negative record of four wins and thirteen losses, the team, which was led by Doug Pederson at the time, finished third in the AFC South.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are one of those NFL franchises looking for a new direction after last season. The departure of Doug Pederson and Trent Baalke was the first trigger for this restructuring. The head coach was quickly replaced by Liam Coen, while the search for a new GM remains ongoing.
