Jaguars Hire Hall Of Famer Tony Boselli As The Franchise's Executive Vice President

Pro Football Hall of Fame left tackle Tony Boselli, the first draft pick in the history of the Jacksonville Jaguars, has been hired as the franchise's executive vice president of football operations.

Jaguars owner Shad Khan announced the move Monday, saying Boselli, first-time head coach Liam Coen and Jacksonville's next general manager will form "the football leadership unit." Each of them will report to Khan.

"I've had a bunch of different roles in this organization, everything from a player to an ambassador to helping on season tickets to doing radio," Boselli said during a Zoom with media. "You name it, I've done everything. But this is really the job I've dreamed about."

Boselli, who advised Khan during the team's recent coaching search and sat in during in-person interviews that led to Coen's hiring, will be in charge of player engagement, football technology, football travel and logistics, equipment, sports performance, team security and football communications. Boselli also will serve as the liaison between football operations and the team's business side to ensure "a unified and successful organization."

It's similar to a role Hall of Fame coach Tom Coughlin held with the Jaguars between 2017 and 2019. One difference: Boselli has no illusions of running the entire franchise.
