**JACKSONVILLE** – The idea is to keep improving – and not waste energy comparing.
Jaguars Head Coach [Liam Coen](https://www.jaguars.com/team/coaches-roster/liam-coen) said that's a theme for the coming season, saying at this week's NFL 2026 Annual League Meetings that the Jaguars can't worry about what happened in 2025. Nor can they focus on matching the record from that season.
The focus must be the future, which must be judged on its own.
> "It we're chasing those results, we're not going to be living in the moment," he said.
Coen, speaking at the annual AFC Coaches breakfast at the Arizona Biltmore Tuesday morning, said being a better team in 2026 doesn't necessarily mean matching a 13-4 record in 2025.
> "There are a lot of different ways to view success," Coen said. "Something we need to be guarded against as a staff and an organization is we have a lot of room to improve. We need to get better and improve and that may not be 13 wins. I don't know. I can't say that.

> "I don't know what those results are, but I know if we're chasing those results, we're not going to get the best version of ourselves every day."
The Jaguars in Coen's first season as head coach won their final eight regular-season games in 2025, winning their first AFC South title since 2022 – their third in the last nine seasons. They will begin their 2026 voluntary offseason program April 20, with the program beginning two weeks later this offseason than last.
Teams with first-year head coaches can begin their offseason programs April 6.
> "When we get back to this, with less time as a coaching staff, with less time with the players as not a new coaching staff, we need to be as intentional as ever with the way that we attack each day," Coen said. "We need to be clear and concise with the players when they come back in about what that looks like and how it's going to get done. We have no time to waste."
