Background
Coen took over a Jaguars team that had gone 4–13 the prior season. He inherited a strong QB in Trevor Lawrence and immediately installed a culture of accountability and detail-oriented execution. Rather than overhaul the system in Year 2, his approach is refinement — building on what worked in Year 1 while targeting specific areas for improvement in the offense.
Scheme and Tendencies
Coen emphasizes execution and intentionality rather than scheme expansion. His philosophy in Year 2 is "refining the finer things" — mastering the details of plays and concepts already installed rather than adding complexity. This benefits experienced talent like Lawrence and creates a stable environment for consistency. The team is built around aggressive play-calling and a relentless pursuit mindset.
