Paul Vance Dismissed By Jaguars, According To Report

by Alfie Crow on Jan 9, 2012 9:32 AM EST in Jacksonville Jaguars News

The Jacksonville Jaguars have dismissed senior vice president of football operations Paul Vance, according to a report by Chris Mortensen of ESPN.

Jaguars have dismissed Paul Vance, Sr. VP of FB Operations and General Counsel.... #NFL32
— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) January 9, 2012

Vance had been with the Jacksonville Jaguars since 1994 as a general counsel, but was promoted to VP of football operations in 2001. Paul Vance was in charge of the Jaguars salary cap management and contract negotiation with free agents and draft picks. He was kind of seen as Weaver's "right hand man" during his time with the team. Sashi Brown will take over Vance's role in the front office.

This is a bit of a surprise move by new owner Shahid Khan, but it shouldn't be. A new owner is likely going to want to bring in some of his own staff around him. Expect some more dismissals soon.

Here’s an article on Brown. Young guy too.

Khan is making his mark

We knew he was going to make some changes, and one or more of the VPs getting let go and replaced is the logical move. Khan is a businessman who acknowledges that “football people” may know that side of the business better, so he can make his stamp on the business side. Interested to see what other changes he’ll make to the overall power structure and if Mackey Weaver gets to stick around.

oooooh, I love it I love it!

Khan is going to give this organization an extreme facelift.

I think Mackey will go because I think Khan is going to try to revolutionize small market marketing and sales and I think he may go outside of the norm, and bring in a non-football guy.

Now, I’ve been beating the drum, but the one hire he absolutely needs to make is Ray Anderson as Team President.

All we need now is for him to dismiss Sexton and make a few more tweaks to the face of the Jags and messengers.

I like Sexton

he has one of the best radio play by play voices I’ve ever heard.

he's a bit too snarky for my tastes

Guy goes on Who Wants to be a Millionaire and all of a sudden he’s the smartest man in the room. Come to think of it, there was a bit too much “Smartest Man in the Room” on the Jaguars management staff as is.

He calls a decent game, but annoys the living crap out of me on the radio shows.

Jags ticket holder since 1995.

Agree

He’s excellent play-by-play, but unnecessarily defensive and argumentative with callers who question him. Plus, his questions to guests often aren’t questions, but seem to be long lead-ins to show how much he knows. And, not that Jack is the easiest person to get along with, but I felt I detected a not-so-hidden tension between the two.
To make a long story continuous, let him keep announcing, but shut him up if it’s not game time.
