The Jacksonville Jaguars intend to begin conducting their head coaching search next week, according to multiple reports.
After firing Urban Meyer following a 2-11 record, the franchise wants to make sure they bring in the right guy this time.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday on NFL GameDay Morning that the initial list of candidates the Jags are interested in interviewing includes Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich, and former head coaches Jim Caldwell and Doug Pederson.
The NFL’s new rules allow teams to begin interviewing candidates on Tuesday, Dec. 28th.
Leftwich, of course, not only use to pay for the team, but has the respect from many players around the league that see him as next up as being a head coach. The offesive coordinator has the Bucs offense that enters Week 16 ranked first in the NFL in scoring.
He just might be what Trevor Lawrence needs, who has been struggling terribly in his first season in the league.
