NFL Rumors: Jaguars, Urban Meyer Plan to Meet to Discuss Head Coaching Vacancy

With their search for a new head coach underway, the Jaguars reportedly remain interested in former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Jacksonville plans to meet with Meyer on Friday "to continue discussing the team's head coaching vacancy." Pelissero added that no deal is imminent with Meyer, and the team has at least one other interview scheduled for the position.

Rumors began swirling last week that the club had shown interest in Meyer, who allegedly was lining up staff and expecting to land the Jaguars head coaching job. The report came two days before Jacksonville fired coach Doug Marrone following the team's 1–15 season.
