According to a report by Adam Schefter, the Jacksonville Jaguars will interview their offensive line coach on Tuesday for their vacant head coaching position.
About two weeks ago, Leftwich had his first interview with the franchise. He will replace Urban Meyer if he gets the job.
Indianapolis Colts defensive assistant Matt Eberflus is a possible finalist for the Jags head coaching job. Eberflus was interviewed again last week.
Leftwich has worked with both Tom Brady and the Buccaneers.
The Buccaneers had one of the best passing offenses in the league in 2021, leading the league with 308.6 passing yards per game and 43 passing touchdown. The team's rushing offense finished 26th in the country with 98.6 yards per game.
In 2020, Leftwich's offense ranked third in points scored per game and second in passing yards per game. It was third in points per game and yards per game in the NFL in 2019.
The seventh overall pick in the 2003 draft, Leftwich was a former quarterback. He spent three and a half seasons with the franchise, going 24-20 in 46 games before joining the Atlanta Falcons.
The Jaguars have interviewed a number of people, including Leftwich and Eberflus, as well as former Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien.
After four straight losing seasons and just 13 games from Meyer, Jacksonville's head coaching search will likely be an extended process. The head coach won't be named any time soon as Leftwich is getting a second interview.
