Jaguars coach Urban Meyer, who has no experience as a coach or player in the NFL, has hired a right-hand man who also has (check the notes) no experience as a coach or player in the NFL.
According to several reports, former Louisville, Texas and South Florida coach Charlie Strong will join Meyer as an assistant coach. He must also train a position in defending the team.
Meyer and Strong spent five years together in Florida, where Meyer was the head coach and Strong served as a defensive coordinator.
The Jaguars are taking a calculated risk by entrusting the team to a coach with so little experience in the NFL. If it works (like Jimmy Johnson in Dallas 30 years ago), it will be great. Otherwise, they can move on and try again with another coach. As they have been doing for more than the past 20 years or more, since the resignation of Tom Coughlin, the only coach in the team’s history with a winning record.
