# 2001 Jacksonville Jaguars season

The 2001 season was the Jacksonville Jaguars' 7th season in the National Football League (NFL) and their 7th season under the leadership of general manager and head coach Tom Coughlin. The Jaguars failed to improve on their 7–9 record from the previous season after a Week 16 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs nor match it after a Week 17 loss to the Chicago Bears, finishing the season at 6–10.
This was the first year where the Jaguars wore black shoes to their uniforms, but as of 2024 the team mixed up their combo to include white and teal shoes.
