The expansion Jacksonville Jaguars gave their first coach the general manager duties as well, and Coughlin thrust the Jaguars into top contention for the AFC Central. From 1995-2002, Jacksonville went to the playoffs four times, earned two division titles, won four playoff games, and appeared in two AFC Championship Games. Jacksonville never had a winning record in the final three seasons with Coughlin.
