Texans sacked Amy Palcic as vice president of communications in November, creating a kind of fire storm at least among the national media.
The Jaguars have now hired Palcic to lead their communications team.
The new coach Urban Meyer announced the hiring on Monday night, writing on his personal Twitter account: “I am very happy to be able to announce a very important addition to @jaguars. We hired @amypalcic to lead our communication team! Welcome to Jacksonville, Amy! “
Palcic is the only woman in charge of a communications department in the NFL.
The team’s then president, Jamey Rootes, insisted after news of Palcic’s departure from Houston that he made the unpopular move. If Rootes made the call or if executive vice president of football operations Jack Easterby had a part, Palcic was told that she was no longer a “cultural choice”.
Texans’ departures in the past four months have been revealing. Bill O’Brien, Rootes, Palcic and JJ Watt are among those who no longer live in Houston. The biggest question remains: Will Deshaun Watson follow you out the door?
