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.
