Coen, who on Sunday became the second head coach to win in his first game in the position with the Jaguars, on Monday made clear that as much as he liked the victory, he liked as much how the Jaguars played.
The Jaguars on Sunday ran for 200 yards, their most in a game since 2022. They also played physically on defense, forcing three turnovers. Coen said those and other offseason priorities "definitely showed up" on Sunday.
"It's nice to know a lot of the things we've been preaching since we arrived did show up," Coen said. "Was it perfect by any means? No. But to start Week One physically the way we did, displaying that, getting the win, it allows us to continue to coach hard and then fix some of the issues that we had, clean up the details.
"If this is going to be part of our DNA, for it to show up in Week 1 matters because a lot of the things you're preaching did show up. If it didn't, it just becomes a little bit hard. The players are like, 'Are we really going to listen to all this?'
"It just helps with our whole buy in of everything we're trying to do."
Coen throughout the offseason emphasized an acronym of "F.A.S.T." for how the Jaguars should play: Fundamentally Sound, Attacking, Situational Masters and Toughness.
"We just gave out a bunch of T-Shirts that had players of the game that represented those things," Coen said. "We have the game balls but then we also give out some of those shirts of guys that represented our style of play the right way. We are continuing to kind of magnify that and make sure that that gets emphasized week to week.
"Absolutely think it showed up."
