JACKSONVILLE, FLA. — A person familiar with the search says Urban Meyer and the Jacksonville Jaguars are “working toward finalizing” a deal to make him the team’s coach.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity Thursday because an agreement was not yet in place. The person said it could be done soon.
Meyer would be leaving the broadcast booth and returning to the sidelines after a two-year absence that followed another health scare.
The 56-year-old Meyer was team owner Shad Khan’s top target, and Khan waited nearly a week to get to this point.
