After requesting interviews with several NFL coordinators, Jacksonville will now turn its attention to Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien for an interview next week in the Jaguars search for their next head coach.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that O’Brien will interview with Jacksonville after Alabama plays against Georgia in the College Football Playoff national championship game on Jan. 10. John Reid of the Florida Times Union had the timing of O'Brien's interview first.
In his first year at Alabama, O’Brien has orchestrated a prolific Crimson Tide offense led by 2021 Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young, who has thrown for 4,503 yards, 46 touchdowns and five interceptions.
