Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen leads team meetings as the organization prepares for its regular season opener against the Cleveland Browns on September 13. The Wednesday morning sessions serve as a focal point for the coaching staff, combining strategic reviews with motivational components to prepare the roster for weekly opponents. Offensive pass game specialist John Van Dam and assistant defensive backs coach Drew Lascari provide video analysis and clips to assist Coen in his presentations. The process includes a segment termed the archives, where Coen tailors instructional feedback to specific players based on their individual career histories. Coaches and executives describe the meetings as a primary tool for establishing the team’s situational identity and communication style. This preparation follows a 2025 season where Coen earned status as a finalist for NFL Coach of the Year.
