Despite all of the turmoil with Urban Meyer this season — and what amounts to a lost season for the Jaguars — and despite a decade of extreme losing, the presence of potential franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence will make Jacksonville's head coach position coveted among many top candidates.

Sources close to many of the individuals who are expected to interview for multiple head coaching positions are indicating a strong desire to get an audience with owner Shad Khan. Lawrence, for all his struggles this season, is still seen as a generational talent who could help lift that franchise in relatively short order with the right people and pieces around him.

Interim head coach Darrell Bevell will be given a chance to compete for the job, sources said, and ownership will be watching to see if an offense that has been dour — Jacksonville has scored 28 points, total, in the first half of its last seven games, and Lawrence does not have a first-half passing touchdown since Week 6 — can evolve and grow with Meyer out of the picture.
