Liam Coen on Jags' Success and Baker Mayfield + Mike Tomlin Steps Down | Schrager Hour

Peter starts the podcast with a look back at the nine-year anniversary of the Los Angeles Rams hiring of Sean McVay, what that decision meant for the franchise and how swinging the bat on a home-run hire can change an organization forever. Peter uses the McVay hire to detail the rising stars of this coaching cycle: Nathan Scheelhaase, Klint Kubiak, Chris Shula and Jaguars offensive wunderkind Grant Udinski. Then, just 48 hours after his Jaguars being eliminated from the 2025 playoffs, Liam Coen does a rare "exit interview" with Peter, reflecting on and recapping the season and journey that was. Peter and Liam talk about hiring a staff, building a culture, facing Hall-of-Fame coaches, Trevor Lawrence, coaching philosophies, Baker Mayfield and so much more. Coen is open, honest and vulnerable in this rare conversation so soon after playoff elimination. 0:00 Welcome to The Schrager Hour 0:23 Mike Tomlin stepping down after 19 seasons 6:52 Thoughts on Ravens firing John Harbaugh 7:47 What's next for Lamar Jackson 11:35 Sean McVay already in 9th season with Rams 16:30 Up-and-coming NFL head coaching prospects 23:22 Recap of NFL head coach vacancies 24:33 Rams at Bears preview 27:40 Jaguars HC Liam Coen joins The Schrager Hour 28:40 Recapping 1st year in Duval 30:30 Forming a bond with coaching staff and Jags organization 32:54 'It's all about the grass' 34:32 Getting Jags players to buy in 37:19 Hero vs. Warrior 39:29 Mindset coaching against big-name coaches 42:02 Taking pride in motivating players 45:07 Getting Trevor Lawrence to believe in himself 49:25 Thoughts on Trevor Lawrence stepping up his game 51:20 Go Route: Parker Washington 52:26 Go Route: Shad Khan 54:45 Go Route: Baker Mayfield 57:22 Go Route: wife Ashley Coen 59:58 Recapping The Schrager Hour ✔️ Subscribe to ESPN Unlimited: https://plus.espn.com/nfl #ESPN
