Former Kentucky Offensive Coordinator Liam Coen plans to become the new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, as reported by ESPN’s Jenna Laine on Thursday.
Coen served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Kentucky during the 2021 and 2023 seasons, working with eventual NFL draftees Will Levis and Devin Leary.
Before turning to coaching, Coen, who is originally from Warwick, Rhode Island, started at quarterback for UMass from 2005-08 and still holds several major school passing records, including completion percentage, yards and touchdowns.
He has served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Brown, Rhode Island and Maine, the latter of which was as the offensive coordinator.
