Liam Coen’s Jaguars Enter Playoffs Hosting Bills After First-Year Turnaround

The 40-year-old rookie coach refuses to offer Buffalo bulletin-board material before his postseason debut.

Overview

  • Jacksonville finished 13–4, won the AFC South, and earned the AFC’s No. 3 seed to host No. 6 Buffalo in the Wild Card round.
  • Buffalo arrives 12–5 with seven straight playoff trips and 2024 MVP Josh Allen leading an experienced roster.
  • Under Coen, Trevor Lawrence closed the regular season with 15 touchdowns against one interception over the final six games.
  • Coen’s offensive approach grew from work under Sean McVay and a 2024 stint coordinating a top-five Tampa Bay offense.
  • ESPN has reported Coen’s Jaguars deal at about $12 million per year over five years, placing him below the league’s top-paid coaches.
