CBS Sports HQ published this video item, entitled “Jaguars OFFICIALLY HIRE Urban Meyer as new head coach | CBS Sports HQ” – below is their description.
The deal is done. The Jacksonville Jaguars have their next head coach. And his name is Urban Meyer. Hours after reports indicated the former Ohio State coach was finalizing a deal to fill the Jaguars’ vacancy, the team has announced Meyer is officially onboard, with owner Shad Khan saying Thursday that the longtime college coach is “who we want and need.”
The 56-year-old Meyer has served as a head coach at four different colleges over the course of his career, most recently at Ohio State, where he went 83-9 — and also won a national championship — from 2012-2018. Prior to that, he served as the head coach at Florida (2005-2010), Utah (2003-2004) and Bowling Green (2001-2002), going a combined 104-23.

The territory of modern Utah has been inhabited by various indigenous groups for thousands of years, including the ancient Puebloans, the Navajo, and the Ute. The Spanish were the first Europeans to arrive in the mid-16th century, though the region’s difficult geography and climate made it a peripheral part of New Spain and later Mexico.
Disputes between the dominant Mormon community and the federal government delayed Utah’s admission as a state; only after the outlawing of polygamy was it admitted as the 45th, in 1896.
A little more than half of all Utahns are Mormons, the vast majority of whom are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which has its world headquarters in Salt Lake City. Utah is the only state where most of the population belongs to a single church. The LDS Church greatly influences Utahn culture, politics, and daily life, though since the 1990s the state has become more religiously diverse as well as secular.
The state has a highly diversified economy, with major sectors including transportation, education, information technology and research, government services, and mining and a major tourist destination for outdoor recreation.
A 2012 Gallup national survey found Utah overall to be the “best state to live in the future” based on 13 forward-looking measurements including various economic, lifestyle, and health-related outlook metrics.
