Jacksonville Jaguars' HC candidates ranked feat. Joe Brady and Liam Coen

The Jacksonville Jaguars recently parted ways with head coach Doug Pederson after another disappointing season. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence regressed this year and the team missed out on the playoffs by a wide margin. They are now seeking a new candidate to fill the position and potentially get them back on track. Here are their best options based on their reported interests.

#5 - Todd Monken

Todd Monken has been serving as the offensive coordinator for the Baltimore Ravens since replacing Greg Roman in the same position. Lamar Jackson has elevated his game to the next level as a passer, including leading the NFL in passer rating this year. He could potentially do the same thing for Trevor Lawrence if he is hired for the open position.

#4 - Liam Coen

Liam Coen has been instrumental in Baker Mayfield turning his entire career around with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has gone from a draft bust to one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, while also leading his team to the playoffs in consecutive years. Coen is a candidate to become a head coach after his success as an offensive coordinator, so maybe he can get Lawrence back on track as well.

#3 - Kellen Moore

Kellen Moore has been a successful offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. He is now a potential candidate during the 2025 head coaching cycle, including receiving an interview request from the Jaguars. His young and innovative offensive mind could be attractive for a team that seemingly has all of the tools but has underperformed on the field.

#2 - Joe Brady

Joe Brady has found a ton of success as the Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator this season. Josh Allen is one of the favorites to be named the NFL MVP this year, despite losing his top two wide receivers last offseason. Brady has long been viewed as an offensive genius, and while he is still young, now may be the time for him to take the next step as a head coach potentially with the Jaguars.

#1 - Ben Johnson

Ben Johnson is one of the most coveted head coach candidates during the 2025 NFL offseason. he appears to be towards the top of the list for several vacancies this year, including for the Jaguars, who have already interviewed him for the position. He has been dominant in his role with the Detroit Lions and will be an exciting hire if he is eventually landed.
