Jacksonville Jaguars want to leave behind a disappointing season in the 2024 NFL season and are already rebuilding for next season. A few days ago, quarterback Trevor Lawrence‘s team announced that Liam Coen will be their new head coach and today the continuity of a Super Bowl champion as part of the coaching staff was made official.
Simultaneously, the Jaguars are in search of a general manager following the firing of Trent Baalke after four seasons with the franchise. That departure has opened the door for Coen’s arrival as HC, in what was a surprising turn of events, as it was thought he would remain as offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Lawrence has not benefited from the Jaguars’ poor form and needs to turn things around once and for all next year. While Doug Pederson is no longer the team’s head coach, a member of his staff was confirmed to be part of Jacksonville’s staff.
Super Bowl champion to remain with the Jaguars
The Super Bowl champion who will remain on the Jaguars staff is none other than special teams coordinator Heath Farwell, who signed a contract extension with Jacksonville, which confirmed the news. “When I talk to him, there’s a shared message,” head coach Coen said of working with Farwell.

How long has Farwell been with the Jaguars?
One might think that Baalke’s departure as general manager might have conditioned Farwell’s extension, but the truth is that he will continue on Coen’s staff. The Jaguars’ special teams coordinator arrived in Jacksonville three seasons ago and has made great progress with his charges.
