JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — After nearly a decade of NFL failure, Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan devised another rebuilding plan.
It centered around Urban Meyer and Trevor Lawrence, a three-time national championship-winning coach and a quarterback who lost twice in college.
Khan says “this time, I got it right.” He adds that ”we have the opportunity to go with winners and then let them build.”
