JACKSONVILLE – This made sense for many reasons.
Continuity was one. Fit was another, and that was a major reason Jaguars Head Coach Urban Meyer felt good about Nick Sorensen. Nick came extremely highly recommended by guys on our staff who had worked with him, Meyer said Thursday following Day 6 of 2021 Organized Team Activities presented by Baptist Health at the Dream Finders Homes Practice Fields.
Sorensen, a veteran of eight years NFL coaching, officially joined the Jaguars as Special Teams Coordinator on Monday. He replaced Brian Schneider, who stepped away for personal reasons after being hired for the position in February.
A school board in Florida has voted 5-2 in favor of renaming six Jacksonville public schools so they are no longer named for leaders of the former Confederacy who sought to perpetuate slavery.
