The Los Angeles Chargers have reportedly been in contact with Urban Meyer.
Meyer is believed to be the leading candidate to take over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it sounds like they’re not the only team interested. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Well, the pursuit of the former Ohio State coach certainly seems to be heating up! It’s crazy that multiple teams are now in the hunt.
When I first heard about the Jags, I thought that was crazy enough. Now, we have two teams interested.

I still think the Jaguars are leading the way. We’ve been hearing about a potential deal at this point for a couple weeks.
It seems like we’re just waiting on Meyer to make a decision at this point. When will it get done? I have no idea, but it has to be coming soon.

A year ago, I would have told you that you were crazy to believe Meyer would coach in the NFL. Now, it looks like a very real possibility.
