Tom Condon, the agent for quarterback Byron Leftwich, said Wednesday he plans to meet with Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio sometime before the new NFL calendar year starts in March to discuss the quarterback's future. "I'm going to have a conversation with the Jaguars at some point to see what they're thinking about," Condon said. Condon declined to say whether Leftwich is open to staying with the Jaguars or whether he'll request a trade. "It doesn't do me any good to speculate or talk about that kind of stuff," Condon said. "I have to gather the facts before I say anything or do anything."

Former Alabama coach Mike Shula was hired as the quarterbacks coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday. Coach Jack Del Rio and Shula reached a deal at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., and the team expected a contract to be signed early next week.

The Jaguars hired former Arizona State coach Dirk Koetter as their offensive coordinator Monday, giving them a third different play-caller in five seasons under coach Jack Del Rio. Koetter replaces Carl Smith, who was one of five assistants fired last week after the Jaguars dropped three in a row to end the season, finished 8-8 and missed the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years.
