The Jacksonville Jaguars are reportedly set to bring in a former NFL head coach for an interview who is plenty familiar with the AFC South.

The #Jaguars will interview #Bama OC and ex-#Texans head coach Bill O’Brien tomorrow, source said. With 4 playoffs appearances in 6 seasons in HOU, O’Brien has a strong resume on the field. It fell apart when he got involved in personnel, and he has no plans for that this time.

Jacksonville is seeking a new head coach following the December firing of first-year leader Urban Meyer. The Jaguars finished the 2021 season with an NFL-worst 3-14 record.

O'Brien was brought on as the Houston Texans' head coach in 2014 and was fired in October 2020. During his run at the helm, the Texans went 52-48 in the regular season and 2-4 in the playoffs across four postseason appearances.

The 52-year-old was named the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the University of Alabama in January 2021.
