JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars are headed in a completely new direction.

 And Los Angeles doesn’t appear to be the destination.

Team owner Wayne Weaver fired longtime coach Jack Del Rio on Tuesday after a 3-8 start and agreed to sell the Jaguars to Illinois businessman Shahid Khan. Weaver named defensive coordinator Mel Tucker the interim coach and gave general manager Gene Smith a three-year contract extension, putting him in charge of the coaching search.

Jaguars interim coach Mel Tucker has five games to make an impression. He should try to be as different than Jack Del Rio as possible, Paul Kuharsky writes.
