During the process of hiring a new general manager, the Jaguars had eventually narrowed their search to a pair of candidates: Steve Keim of the Cardinals and Dave Caldwell of the Falcons. Perhaps with the exception of Tom Gamble early in the GM search, Caldwell eventually became the favorite of most fans to earn the position and many assumed he would upon a third interview.

With the report that he had been officially hired, the Jaguars Twitter-verse reacted and it was overwhelming positive. Here is a sample of some of Tuesday's reactions:

Absolutely thrilled at the Caldwell hiring. This is just the next step in the rebirth of the #Jaguars.

Step 1: Hire Caldwell - check. Step 2: Fire Mike Mularkey. Step 3: Hire notMikeNolan as head coach. Step 4: Say no to Tebow. Step 5: Profit.

Also chiming in on Tuesday was @ap575, a Falcons fan and writer on DraftBreakdown.com with BCC contributor, Eric Stoner. He provided a series of tweets breaking down what information he knows about Caldwell and what Jaguars fans can expect from the former Falcons executive. Among them:

Caldwell was supposedly instrumental in the Julio Jones trade. #Jaguars
