Jaguars beat writer, Jacksonville, Fla.

Bump for more info. And lemme add that I said people were bashing this job when it last came open, but folks didn't/may not realize it's actually one of the best NFL gigs out there at a newspaper.

 

Two of the last three guys who have had this job have parlayed it into big gigs.

 

My thought was the same. Of course, growing up a Jaguars fan in Oklahoma, this sounds great.

 

I've heard candidates have been contacted already. Anyone know who's on the list?

 

It would incredibly inappropriate and unprofessional to announce who the candidates are in a public forum such as this. There are only negative motives to even ask that question.

 

Oh, please. :

 

One of the guys they're bringing in or have already brought in covers another NFL team in Florida.

One of the guys they're bringing in or have already brought in covers another NFL team for a smaller (less than 100K circ) in the midwest.

 

Does it really matter who is on the list? I say that because it doesn't matter who it is, there will be some anonymous clown ready to bash him or her for being considered for the gig. And if they get it......

 

It's down to two... One female, one male.

 

How do you know that?

 

He's psychic.

One of the people up for the job would be a popular pick on this board. I don't know enough about the other person to comment.

 

Wasn't aware you were the one doing the hiring Mizzou.
