The Jacksonville Jaguars took a significant step back in the 2024 season, finishing with a 4-13 record that led to the dismissal of head coach Doug Pederson. Team owner Shad Khan initiated a puzzling coaching search, ultimately hiring Liam Coen from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. As the Jaguars prepare for the offseason, their primary focus will be on revamping a defense that allowed an alarming 390 yards per game, ranking 31st in the NFL.

With the No. 5 pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, the Jaguars have an opportunity to strengthen their roster, especially on defense. The potential re-signing of key free agents like Brandon Scherff and Andre Cisco is crucial, while the future of quarterback Mac Jones remains uncertain. Jackson's offensive alignment and player management under Coen will be essential to revitalize quarterback Trevor Lawrence's career.
