It’s been a wild couple of days but the Jacksonville Jaguars have landed their top choice to lead the team.

The 39 year old head coach comes to Jacksonville after previously serving as offensive coordinator for Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kentucky Wildcats, and Los Angeles Rams.

Jaguars owner Shad Khan said of the hire. “To repeat my message earlier this week, am deeply committed to building a winner here in Jacksonville. I also believe in being judged by actions, not words. That's why I took swift and decisive action this week to hire Liam Coen as the new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I am pumped that Liam is accepting the challenge and opportunity to build the winner that Jaguars fans and partners fully deserve. I know our players feel the same.”

The Jaguars have announced that Coen has agreed to a contract. Coen becomes the 10th head coach in Jacksonville’s history. We are now waiting for an announcement about an introductory press conference.
