A new era is underway for the
Jacksonville Jaguars . Head coach Liam Coen and general manager James Gladstone are the latest duo tasked with saving the franchise after another disappointing season in northern Florida.
Trevor Lawrence is the main attraction, but the quarterback hasn't yet lived up to the hype since arriving as the first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Lawrence hasn't helped himself, but poor coaching and bad rosters have certainly contributed to the lack of results thus far. That's where Gladstone and Coen come in. The
Jaguars made a big splash in the draft, trading up to select
Travis Hunter , who will play both sides of the ball. A two-way star in college, Hunter is trying to bring his full-time workload as a cornerback and receiver to the pros. All eyes will rightfully be on Hunter's transition, but this is a make-or-break year for Lawrence. In what is a wide open AFC South, anything can happen. USA TODAY Sports is predicting the Jaguars' record as the 2025 NFL schedule release approaches.
Jaguars record prediction 2025
Fresh off a 4-13 season, Coen has his work cut out for him in Jacksonville. However, he'll be getting Lawrence back from injury and also have the luxury of some new weapons on offense to work with. That alone should result in plenty of improvement. With the sixth-easiest schedule in 2025, per
Sharp Football Analysis , can the Jaguars take advantage of their division and get back to the playoffs? Let's pump the brakes on that. Jacksonville can easily be a sneaky playoff contender in 2025, but Coen might not have an easy transition to the big chair. He's bounced back-and-forth between college and the pros over the last few seasons. He notably comes from the Sean McVay coaching tree and did a remarkable job with the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year. However, Coen opted to build a staff that doesn't come with a lot of experience. Offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile are both holding those key roles for the first time in the NFL. A lot has to go right for a postseason appearance in Jacksonville. They appear to be on the right track and will win some more games thanks to an improved, healthy roster. The playoffs will have to wait for another year, though.
