CelebnSports247.com reports that The Jacksonville Jaguars search for head coach is coming to an end, and Byron Leftwich will be landing the job.

The Jaguars have interviewed a number of candidates to replace Urban Meyer, Leftwich has been a strong contender for the position from the start.

According to league sources not authorized to speak publicly, the former Jaguars quarterback was involved in contract discussions with the team that launched Tuesday night after meeting with the leadership of the team, including owner Shad Khan, for roughly eight hours. Barring an unexpected breakdown in those ongoing discussions, Leftwich is expected to ultimately finalize a deal and become the Jaguars’ new head coach.

Tom Brady was talking about Leftwich in late December when the conversation shifted to the future of his offensive coordinator.

The Buccaneers quarterback said:

It’s just a matter of time for different guys, and different opportunities come up…Byron has been amazing to work with. I know he’ll have a lot of opportunities.

Apparently that is all that the Jacksonville Jaguars’ needed to hear about Leftwich.

ProFootball reports:

The franchise’s leadership team, including owner Shad Khan and general manager Trent Baalke, is conducting a second interview with Leftwich on Tuesday, an in-person meeting, according to league sources.

Leftwich has been reaching out to potential staff members. Among the possible members of a Leftwich staff: Buccaneers outside linebackers coach Larry Foote and wide receivers coach Kevin Garver.
