The Facts:
The Jaguars have made it official, announcing the firing of general manager Gene Smith Monday morning. “Now it is time for the Jacksonville Jaguars to begin a new chapter,” Jaguars owner Shad Khan said in a statement. “We’re not looking back. I’ve made it clear from Day One that we pledge nothing less than to deliver the first Super Bowl championship to Jacksonville.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
There’s been no word yet on a timetable, or the future of HC Mike Mularkey, though as PFT's Darin Gantt suggests, any GM candidate might reasonably want to hire his own guy. Of course, there might also be pressure on those candidates to bring in a certain quarterback (can you say Tim Tebow?), something those candidates will have to weigh whether they want their name attached to. And if they do, would they want to hire the best coaching candidate to ensure said QB's success (can you say Josh McDaniels?)? Stay tuned.
