JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Jacksonville Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver says coach Jack Del Rio’s job is safe.
Weaver and Del Rio had a lengthy meeting Monday. Del Rio explained what went wrong this season and outlined a plan to fix things. Weaver and Del Rio had a similar meeting last year, when the coach talked Weaver into keeping him.
The Jaguars (8-8) ended this season with a three-game losing streak, blowing a chance to clinch the AFC South and return to the postseason for the first time since 2007. Jacksonville ended last year on a four-game slide, and the team is 4-11 in December and January under Del Rio the last three years.
Del Rio, 66-65 with the Jaguars, is the first coach since the NFL merger in 1970 to lead the same team for eight years without capturing a division title.
