Jaguars interviewing Rich Bisaccia for head coaching position

Rich Bisaccia was unable to turn his interim head coaching job with the Las Vegas Raiders into a full-time gig, but he is receiving interest from at least one other team that is in search of a new head coach.

Bisaccia was scheduled to interview with the Jacksonville Jaguars for their head coaching position on Monday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.

Jacksonville’s coaching search has seemingly been focused on Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. The two sides were said to be close to a deal last week, but those talks have stalled. The Jags are now trying to interview Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell, but they may have messed up by not putting that request in soon enough.

Is Bisaccia a legitimate candidate in Jacksonville? Mark Long of The Associated Press seems to think so. He noted that Trevor Lawrence is in favor of the Jaguars hiring Bisaccia.
