Sheppard has agreed to take the position and will be officially hired Monday, according to the source.

Sheppard spent the past four seasons serving as the Cincinnati Bengals’ wide receivers coach.

Sheppard has held two head-coaching positions in college (Long Beach State and New Mexico), as well as NFL offensive coordinator duties with the San Diego Chargers (1997-98), Buffalo Bills (2001) and New Orleans Saints (2005). He took his first NFL job in 1993 as tight ends coach for the Cleveland Browns.

Jacksonville’s quarterbacks coach position had become a hot potato of sorts in recent weeks. Todd Monken was promoted from receivers coach last month after Mike Shula left to take the Carolina Panthers’ quarterbacks coach job. However, Monken stepped down to take the offensive coordinator job at Oklahoma State earlier this week.
