The Jacksonville Jaguars have their guy. The organization has announced the hiring of Urban Meyer following meetings with Jacksonville’s front office. The former Ohio State and Florida head coach will take on a new test in the NFL following retiring from Ohio State in 2018.
Meyer, 56, has never coached in any capacity in the NFL, but the Jaguars will be banking on Meyer’s ability to build a program and ability to win wherever he has gone.
