Urban Meyer Nears Deal to Coach Jacksonville Jaguars, Yahoo Says

Urban Meyer, the three-time national-title-winning football coach at the University of Florida and Ohio State University, is finalizing a deal to become head coach of the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Yahoo Sports.

Meyer is one of the most successful coaches in college football history, though he left Ohio State after the 2018 season citing health concerns and under scrutiny for his handling of a domestic-abuse accusation against a member of his staff. His 85% winning percentage trails only Notre Dame legends Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy among those who have coached at the sport’s highest level, and he’s one of just 15 coaches to have won three or more national championships.
