The Jacksonville Jaguars got the best possible playoffs outcomes to wrap up their interview process for a new head coach. Both the Tampa Bay Bucs and Green Bay Packers lost their respective games this weekend, freeing assistants from both teams up for more head coaching interviews.
In the Bucs’ case, the Jags can now have second interviews with offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, both of whom they already met once virtually. In the Packers’ case, they can now speak with offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett again, who was eligible for an in-person interview with the Jags when they spoke as the Packers were in the process of a postseason bye week as the NFC’s No. 1 seed.
The Jags’ interview with Bowles was among the first they had, and it took place on Jan. 3. Leftwich’s interview was four days later. The Jags’ first interview with Hackett was believed to be on Jan. 14.
