Jacksonville Jaguars hire Urban Meyer as their next head coach

Urban Meyer has been on top of the college football world three times — twice with Florida and then again with Ohio State in 2014. However, Meyer’s illustrious coaching career has yet to test the NFL waters. According to The Athletic's Michael Lombardi, that is set to change.

Meyer is slated to fill perhaps the most appealing head coaching vacancy available this offseason. The Jacksonville Jaguars have an abundance of cap space and draft capital — including the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, which is expected to yield Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence — to go along with several young, talented pieces already on the roster.
