Jaguars Promote Shane Waldron and Heath Farwell to Expanded Leadership Roles

Coach Liam Coen framed the promotions as moves to lock in trusted leaders and help sustain the team's recent on-field gains.

Overview

  • The Jacksonville Jaguars announced on June 30 that Shane Waldron was elevated to Assistant Head Coach/Pass Game Coordinator and Heath Farwell to Associate Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator.
  • Waldron will add broader leadership duties to his pass-game work after joining Coen's staff in 2025 and helping create a franchise-record 2025 offense that scored 474 points with 55 touchdowns.
  • Farwell, Jacksonville’s special teams coordinator since 2022, received recognition for measurable results including a three-time Pro Bowl long snapper, consistently excellent punt placement, top punt-return production and historic long field goals by kicker Cam Little.
  • Coen issued a team statement saying both coaches are 'well-established, elite football minds' he trusts, framing the moves as reward for performance and a way to preserve continuity in the staff.
  • The promotions formalize expanded responsibilities without other reported staff changes and follow a common NFL pattern of using assistant or associate head-coach titles to retain key assistants and broaden their organizational influence.
