5 best potential NFL coaching jobs for Jimbo Fisher
By Jason Parker
No. 3 – Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars aren’t going to be as bad in 2016 as they have been in years past. With quarterback Blake Bortles, who has one of the best young arms in the league, getting comfortable with the pro game, Jimbo Fisher might find himself in a great spot.
In addition to having a franchise quarterback, Fisher would have an owner that has shown he is committed to Jacksonville at a time when he probably shouldn’t have been. Yes, the team is playing a game each year in London, but fans on the First Coast would rather have that than all eight home games being played in another city.
Of course, another reason for Fisher to go to the Jaguars is the proximity to his current team. Though Jacksonville is still mostly a Florida Gators town, the Seminoles have a huge following in the area and have shown they like FSU players come draft time, taking one in each of the last three years (including their first round pick in 2016, defensive back Jalen Ramsey).
Familiar faces would make the transition a lot easier and Fisher wouldn’t be on such a short leash.
