coughlin's success at boston college led to his subsequent hiring as the first head coach of the nfl's expansion jacksonville jaguars. in eight seasons at jacksonville, he helmed the most successful expansion team in league history. during coughlin's tenure, the jaguars made four consecutive playoff appearances and went to the afc championship game twice. the first time, in only the second year of the team's existence (1996), the jaguars qualified for the playoffs on the last day of the season and upset the heavily favored buffalo bills and denver broncos on the road. he was named nfl coach of the year by united press international. coughlin would again take the jaguars to the afc championship game in 1999 after achieving a league-high 14–2 regular season record; the 14 wins stood as the most won by the current wave of expansion teams (the jaguars, carolina panthers, baltimore ravens and houston texans) until the panthers surpassed it in 2015. however, in both appearances in the championship game, the jaguars were defeated: in 1996 by the new england patriots, and in 1999, by the tennessee titans. both the losses in the jaguars' 14-2 1999 regular season were also to the titans.
