CHAIRMAN AND
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Wayne Weaver is a man driven by a challenge,
and that challenge has never been bigger than in
2002 when he attempts to guide the Jaguars back
into the upper echelon of the NFL.
In seven years under Weaver's ownership, the
Jaguars grew from an expansion team into one of
the most successful franchises in the NFL. Thus,
the club's losing records in each of the last two
seasons have re-ignited Weaver's fire. The 2002
offseason saw many changes for the franchise. His stated goal to the organization is to
guide the team back into playoff contention. He is a man who does not like to lose.
'It was a very difficult offseason. We had to make some decisions that, emotionally, were
not easy. But, intellectually, they were the right decisions," Weaver says. "We had a strate-
gy going into the offseason, and we knew that if it worked, it would give us a lot of ability to
maneuver and reenergize this football team in 2002. 1 see an electricity and chemistry of
guys competing for jobs. It's more of a team and not so much about 'me.' I think we're going
to surprise a lot of people this year."
Surprising the skeptics is nothing new for the Jaguars. In 1993, Weaver surprised
everybody by winning an NFL expansion franchise for the city of Jacksonville. In 1994,
he hired a winning coach in Tom Coughlin. In 1995 he presided over the building of one
of the NFL's showpiece stadiums and four victories for his inaugural team. In 1996 he
watched his second-year dream team win two playoff games - the victory over the
Denver Broncos is one of pro football's biggest upsets ever - and reach within one
game of the Super Bowl. In 1997 Weaver saw his Jaguars win 11 games, more than
any third-year NFL team has ever won. In 1998, the Jaguars won their first division
championship and the franchise hosted its first-ever home playoff game. In 1999, the

was not able to overlook.

NFL history, and they hosted the AFC Championship game. Three years earlier, in 1996,
Coughlin's Jaguars won seven straight games and advanced to their first AFC
Championship game, just one victory short of the Super Bowl in only the 35th game in the
franchise's history. Jacksonville's 30-27 victory over Denver in that season's playoffs is
widely acknowledged as one of the biggest upsets in pro football history. Coughlin was
named the 1996 AFC Coach of the Year by United Press International.
Coughlin was named head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars on February 21, 1994, the
hand-picked choice of owner Wayne Weaver. "One of the things I was tremendously
impressed with was Tom's discipline, attitude and decisiveness of how he would build this
franchise," Weaver said. "It was apparent to me that Tom was not only a brilliant football
coach, but he's also an extraordinarily bright man who understands the organization,
administration and detail that are needed to build something from the beginning."
A veteran of 33 years in the coaching profession, Coughlin had 25 years of coaching
experience before he took over the Jaguars, including seven years as a college head coach
and seven seasons as an NFL assistant coach.
He spent the 1984 and '85 seasons as the wide receivers coach for the Philadelphia
Eagles, and he was with the Green Bay Packers in 1986 and '87 as the receivers coach.
He served with the New York Giants from 1988 to '90 as the receivers coach, contributing
to the Super Bowl XXV victory over Buffalo in his last season with the Giants. In 1993,
Coughlin was offered the opportunity to return to the Giants as their head coach, but he
declined the job so he could continue building the Boston College football program.
Coughlin's arrival in Jacksonville followed three seasons (1991-93) as head coach at
Boston College, where he turned a struggling football program into a Top 20 team. Posting
a 21-13-1 record in three seasons, Coughlin capped his Boston College tenure with a 9-3
record in 1993 which included eight consecutive wins, a 41-39 defeat of No. 1-ranked Notre
Dame and a victory over Virginia in the Carquest Bowl. His last Boston College team was
ranked 13th in the Associated Press poll and 12th in the USA TodayICNN coaches poll,
despite beginning the season with an 0-2 start. He led Boston College to an 8-2-1 record
in 1992, including a Hall of Fame Bowl berth, after posting a 4-7 mark in his first season.
It was at Boston College where Coughlin met Jay McGillis, a special young player who
died of leukemia at the age of 21. In 1996 Coughlin started the Jay Fund Foundation in honor
of McGillis, and in the last seven years the annual Tom Coughlin Jay Fund Foundation
Celebrity Golf Classic has donated a total of $627,000 to Jacksonville-area pediatric
leukemia patients and their families, as well as patients of other childhood cancers.
"It's hard enough to undergo a family crisis of health: But on top of that to have the ques-
tions of whether or not the family can function as a unit because of impending bills, that has
to be catastrophic," said Coughlin. "So I think whatever we can do along those lines is a
great thing - and in Jay's name."
Coughlin began his coaching career in 1969 as a graduate assistant at Syracuse, his alma
mater. The next season he began a four-year stint at Rochester Institute of Technology,
where he served as head coach from 1970 to '73, compi1ing.a record of 16-15-2. Coughlin
returned to Syracuse under Frank Maloney in 1974 and held the position of offensive coor-
dinator from 1977 to '80, directing an offense that led the Orangemen to a berth and victory
in the 1979 Independence Bowl, Syracuse's first postseason appearance in 13 years.
In 1981 Coughlin went to Boston College for the first time, as offensive coordinator and
quarterbacks coach under Jack Bicknell. He helped the Eagles win their first bowl bid in 40
years while coaching Doug Flutie, the 1984 Heisman Trophy winner. In 1983, Coughlin's last
season as a Boston College assistant coach, the team earned the Lambert-Meadowlands
Trophy as Eastern Champion, the first won by the Eagles since 1942.
Coughlin's playing career began as a standout scholastic star at Waterloo (N.Y.) Central
High School in his hometown. He attended Syracuse University, where he was a three-year
letterman for legendary coach Ben Schwartzwalder from 1965 to '67. A wingback for the
Orangemen, Coughlin played alongside All-America backs Larry Csonka and Floyd Little.
He played in the 1966 Gator Bowl in Jacksonville against Tennessee. As a senior in 1967,
he broke the Syracuse single-season pass receiving record, which had stood since the
1950s. An excellent student, Coughlin also won Syracuse's Orange Key Award that year as
the university's outstanding scholar athlete. He graduated in 1968 with a bachelor's degree
in education, and in 1969 he received his master's degree in education.
The oldest of seven children, Thomas Richard Coughlin was born August 31, 1946 in
Waterloo, N.Y. He and his wife, Judy, have two daughters, Keli and Katie, and two sons,
Brian and Tim, and a daughter-in-law, Andrea (Tim's wife).

John Bonamego was promoted to special teams
coordinator on January 31. He replaces Frank
Gansz, who retired following an illustrious 37-year
coaching career. Bonamego has big shoes to fill.
However, the 38-year-old assistant coach has
learned from the best, because both Gansz and
Larry Pasquale - the special teams coordinators
during Bonamego's first three seasons with the Jaguars -were considered two of pro foot-
ball's best special teams coaches ever. Bonamego served as the Jaguars' assistant special
teams coach from 1999 to 2001, assisting in all areas of special teams, including the prepa-
ration of game plans and sideline coaching. He also served as an administrative assistant
to head coach Tom Coughlin. This year, he will attempt to guide the Jaguars' special teams
back into the NFL's elite.The first priority is to find a new placekicker to replace Mike Hollis,
who handled the duties for the franchise's first seven seasons.
Bonamego enters his 17th year of coaching. He joined the Jaguars in 1999 from the U.S.
Military Academy, where he was an assistant coach for six years. At Army, Bonamego was
the special teams coach and recruiting coordinator from 1994 to '98 after serving as an
assistant outside linebackers coach in 1993. He coached running backs and assisted with
special teams at Lehigh in 1992, and he served at Maine from 1988 to '91, two years as a
graduate assistant and two years in charge of wide receivers and special teams. He was
the head junior varsity coach at Mt. Pleasant (Mich.) High School in 1987, and he began his
career as a player-coach with the Verona (Italy) Redskins in 1986.
Bonamego was born in Waynesboro, Pa. He received a degree in health fitness in 1987
at Central Michigan, where he lettered twice at wide receiver and quarterback. He earned
a master's degree in physical education from Maine in 1992. A native of Paw Paw, Mich.,

Perry Fewell returns for his fifth season as the
Jaguars' secondary coach. In 2001, he coached a
secondary that underwent considerable change,
with seventh-round draft choice Marion McCree
starting most of the season at safety and Jason
Craft taking over as a starter at cornerback. This
year, McCree and Craft will be joined by two return-
ing veteran starters in cornerback ern an do Bryant -
and safetv Donovin Darius. the team's defensive leader. Kiwaukee Thomas is exoected to
be the nickel back.
In Fewell's first four seasons with the Jaguars, the team's pass defense ranking improved
from 24th in 1997 to 23rd in '98, third in '99, 14th in 2000 and 22nd in 2001. The number of
passing touchdowns allowed by the defense declined from 24 in 1997 to 23 in '98, 18 in '99
23 in 2000 and a team-record-low 13 in 2001. Fewell's units have broken a number of team
records. In addition, Darius and Bryant were named to All-Rookie teams in their first sea-
sons, and in 1999 Carnell Lake was voted the team's first Pro Bowl defensive back and
Aaron Beasley set the team's single-season interception record. That season, the Jaguars'
secondary had 15 of the team's 19 interceptions.
Fewell was named the Jaguars' secondary coach on February 16, 1998. Now in his 18th
year in coaching, the 39-year-old Fewell joined the Jaguars from Vanderbilt, where he
served as secondary coach from 1995 to '97 and also as assistant head coach in 1997.That
year, Vanderbilt had its best overall defense in school history and led the Southeastern
Conference for the first time ever.
Fewell attended South Point High in Belmont, N.C., where he played football and par-
ticipated in track. He was inducted into the Belmont Sports Hall of fame in October 2001.

NFL: 8TH SEASON
JAGUARS: 8TH SEASON
Jerry Palmieri has been the strength and condi-
tioning coach of the Jaguars since they began play
in 1995.Palmieri was selected by the Professional
Football Strength and Conditioning Coaches
Society to receive the 1999 Coach of the Year
Award, honoring his contributions to his profession.
Under Palmieri's quidance, the Jaquars have
had nearly 100 attendance fortheir four-day-a-week offseason conditioning pro-
gram over the last eight years. That has helped the team reap the benefits of his program,
in which players have annually set personal bests for strength, speed and other condition-
ing aspects which ultimately produce more powerful athletes. In this year's offseason con-
ditioning program, the team's average body fat decreased by 1.07percent, vertical jump
increased 1.47inches, and the average player's bench and incline increased by 25 pounds.
The Jaguars have 34 veteran players who can squat more than 600 pounds and 36 veter-
ans who can power clean more than 300 pounds.
Palmieri's philosophy is two-fold. Intangibly, he uses a scriptural verse: "Whatever your
hand finds to do, do it with all your might ..." (Ecclesiastes 9:lO).Each athlete is challenged
to work hard and reach his fullest potential - tangibly, its strength and power. Palmieri's
goal is to help each athlete increase in size, strength and speed, which ultimately produces
a more powerful athlete. "Coach Coughlin wants our team to play physical on the field," says
Palmieri."Our job is to make our players more physical and more powerful, so that their play
will be physical in competition."
Palmieri joined the Jaguars on January 11, 1995 after having served as director of
strength and conditioning operations at Boston College since 1993,where he was hired by
Tom Coughlin. Prior to his stint at Boston College, Palrnieri spent six years overseeing the
strength and conditioning program at Kansas State. He began his career as a strength
coach in 1982 at North Carolina, followed by three years at Oklahoma State. In addition to
his coaching experience, Palmieri has taught college physical education classes and writ-
ten articles about strength and conditioning for national publications. He has also produced
videos on strength and speed training and is active with the Fellowship of Christian
Athletes.
A 1980 graduate of Montclair State, Palmieri received a master's degree in exercise
physiology from the University of North Carolina in 1984.He is a three-time Golden Gloves
champion (1976-78) and competed in international competition as a member of the 1978
and 1979 USA Boxing Teams. He was born October 30,1958 in Englewood, N.J. Jerry and
his wife, Ellen, have a son, Tony (12/18/85), and a daughter, Annamarie (10/2/87).

JAGUARS: 8TH SEASON
John Pease became the fourth defensive coordi-
nator in Jaguars history on January 29 following
seven very successful seasons as the Jaguars'
defensive line coach and the last year with the dual
title of assistant head coach.
He takes over a defense that allowed the fourth-
fewest points in the AFC last season, albeit one that
lost six games in the final five minutes and 13 seconds. Pease and his outgoing personality
bring a new enthusiasm to a defense that needs some fine-tuning and fine play from some
new defensive players to help the Jaguars contend again. In taking over responsibilityfor the
Jaguars' defense, Pease follows Gary Moeller, Dom Capers and Dick Jauron. Jauron is now
the Chicago Bears' head coach, and Capers is the Houston Texans' head coach.
Pease has long been regarded as one of the top defensive line coaches in the NFL. In
2001, the Jaguars ranked 10th in the NFL in run defense and recorded 43 sacks to tie for
10th in the league in that category. Over the last six seasons, the Jaguars have allowed a
total of 65 rushing touchdowns for the fifth-fewest in the league in that time. Under Pease,
the Jaguars have always been among the league sack leaders, averaging more than 42
sacks per season since 1996. Two Jaguars defensive linemen recorded career-highs in
sacks in 2001, with Renaldo Wynn and Seth Payne each getting five.The other two starters,
Tony Brackens and Gary Walker, each recorded the second-highest sack total of his career,
with Brackens leading the team with 11 and Walker finishing second with 7.5.
Pease, 58, is beginning his 17th season as an NFL coach, including nine years with the
New Orleans Saints. His 33-year coaching career spans 13 seasons at the collegiate level
and three years in the USFL.
As the Jaguars' assistant head coach, Pease's expanded duties include coordination of
the team's offseason strength and conditioning program, as well as assisting Coughlin in the
organization and logistics of the April minicamp and the June pre-camp. He also handles
administrative assignments involving scheduling and training camp.
Pease was named the Jaguars'defensive line coach on January 12,1995. He began his
fulltime coaching career at Fullerton College in 1970, as linebackers coach (1970-72) and
defensive line coach (1973). He also had stints at Long Beach State, Utah and Washington.
From 1983 to '85, he was on the coaching staff of the PhiladelphialBaltimore Stars of the
USFL along with Dom Capers under head coach Jim Mora. The Stars won the USFL cham-
pionship in 1984 and '85. When Mora was named head coach of the Saints, Pease joined
him in New Orleans, where he was from 1986 until joining the Jaguars in 1995. The Saints
were a playoff team three of Pease's last five seasons.
A graduate of the University of Utah, Pease began college at Fullerton Junior College,
where he was a two-time Junior College All-America selection. He was inducted into the
California Community College Football Coaches Hall of Fame in 1999. He transferred to
Utah and was named All-Western Athletic Conference as a senior wingback. From 1965 to
'67, he served in the military in Puerto Rico and coached at Antilles High School. In 1968
and '69, he was a graduate assistant at Utah prior to moving to Fullerton the next year.
Pease was born October 14, 1943 in Pittsburgh. He was on the training camp roster of the
Los Angeles Rams after his final collegiate season. He has two daughters, Tracy and Kristen,
and four grandsons, Stephen, Greg, Ty and Kyle. He lives in Jacksonville with his wife, Chris.

The Jaguars to have a winning season again for the fifth time in eight years in the NFL.
I
I Mark Brunell to lead the Jaguars in passing for the eighth consecutive season, which would
be the longest streak of any NFL expansion team's quarterback.
I Jimmy Smith to reach the top 20 in all-time receptions and receiving yards. He enters the 2002
season with 584 career catches and 8,260 yards, ranking 31st in receptions and 42nd in yardage
all time. Smith averages 94 receptions and 1,328 yards per year since 1996, and another sea-
son like that would put him at about 17th in catches and 20th in yards.
I Jimmy Smith can stay on top of the NFL in both receptions and receiving yards since 1996 (he
leads the league with 562 catches and 7,972 yards the last six seasons). In addition, he can surpass
the 600-reception mark with 16 catches in 2002 (he enters the season with 584 receptions). Smith
can also be voted to his sixth consecutive Pro Bowl.
I Jimmy Smith to surpass 10,000 all-purpose yards for his career. He heads into the 2002 sea-
son with 8,846 yards receiving, rushing and on kick returns.
I Tony Brackens to lead the Jaguars in sacks for the fourth consecutive season. Brackens can
also break the franchise record for career takeaways. He enters 2002 with 16, two behind record-
holder Aaron Beasley.
I Fred Taylor to surpass 4,000 career yards rushing. He rushed for 3,470 yards in his first four
pro seasons.
I Chris Hanson to lead the NFL in punting. In his first NFL season in 2001, Hanson ranked fourth
in the NFL in net punting and sixth in gross punting.
I Kyle Brady to reach 250 receptions and 2,500 yards for his career. In his first seven seasons,
he had 225 catches and 2,412 receiving yards.
 Jimmy Smith to have his seventh consecutive 1,000 yard season receiving and move into a tie
for the fourth-longest streak in NFL history.
I Pete Mitchell to rebound and catch 42 passes, which would match his average number of
receptions per season in his four-year tenure with the Jaguars from 1995 to 1998.
I Mark Brunell to surpass 25,000 yards in passing. He heads into the season with 22,521 yards.
Brunell can also add to his team-record current streak of 12 consecutive games with at least one
touchdown pass. And he will make his team-record 100th start in his first game of the season.
IDonovin Darius to lead the secondary in tackles for the fifth consecutive season.
I Brad Meester to start all 16 games for the third straight season, which would tie for the sec-
ond-longest streak by any Jaguars player. He is the only Jaguar to start his first 32 games after
being drafted by the team.
IT.J. Slaughter to continue averaging 100 tackles per year. He made 200 tackles in his first two
NFL seasons.
I Bobby Shaw to reach 100 receptions and 2,000 yards receiving for his career. He joined the
Jaguars with 92 catches for 1,468 yards.

"You have to be aware of where he's at. If he's not rushina and causina fumbles in the air. he's
picking off balls. He has a great feel for the game.You've just got to be aware and make sure you
don't put him in position to make plays - and that's not always easy to do when he's at the cen-
ter of attack."
- Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher
I see Tony breaking a lot of records. This is a guy that has all the ability in the world. He's going
to make a lot of heads turn as his career goes on. He just needs to decide when he wants to be
great. Once he decides, people are going to realize how talented this young man is."
- Longtime NFL defensive end Clyde Simmons (in 1996)
"You don't see many guys like him come into the league. He has some real gifts. He's like a race
horse. He's got those wild eyes and he's chomping at the bit."
- Jaguars assistant head coachldefensive coordinator John Pease
"He's got it all and he's smart -extremely smart. He's more gifted than anybody I ever played
with. The strange thing about what Tony Brackens has done is he still doesn't have any moves.
He gets a lot of sacks on just his speed alone. A Clyde Simmons or myself, we have moves. Tony
Brackens is just plain gifted."
- Former Jaguars defensive end Jeff Lageman (in 1997)
-
"He's orobablv the best athlete I face all vear. He's such a aood soeed rusher that he helos me
work on that part of my game."
- Former Jaguars offensive tackle Tony Boselli
"Tony Brackens is a great player. He creates big-time matchup problems for you."
- New York Giants head coach Jim Fassel
'Tony Brackens is one of the premier rushers in the league because he is so relentless."
- Former Raiders head coach Joe Bugel
"He makes a lot of plays other guys wouldn't have a chance to make. He adds a whole difference
presence to the defense. He makes players around him better. And he makes other teams game-
plan for him."
- Houston Texans defensive tackle Seth Payne
"Brackens is one of the toughest blocks an offensive tackle has because he has so much speed, so
much change of direction.You throw out your natural orthodox way of blocking linemen with him."
-Washington Redskins offensive tackle Ben Coleman
Brack has unbelievable ability. I believe he can put up some unbelievable numbers."
- Houston Texans defensive tackle Gary Walker
'Tony Brackens is an outstanding, skilled pass rusher who, because of his great quickness and
strength, is also effective against the run."
-Jaguars head coach Tom Coughlin
'Tony has the kind of ability that can change the pace of the game instantly because he not only is
quick off the ball, but he can beat tackles. A lot of times, when he gets a sack, he forces turnovers
-he has a knack for stripping the ball out. Sometimes he demands to be double-teamed and he's
going to free up some other guys."
- Dallas Cowboys linebacker Kevin Hardy
Tony Brackens is an excellent football player. We had a good chance to see him at the University
of Texas when he came out, what kind of potential and ability he had. He is such a quick and
strong individual. He has a nose for the football and is a playmaker. There is no question, his play
is very important to Jacksonville's defense.You have to be concerned about him."
- Dallas Cowboys head coach Dave Campo
"Tony's a guy who handles his business without a whole lot being said about it. I think he could-
n't care less if he gets a lot of credit. He couldn't care less if his name is in the paper or if he's
in the news. But he's going to get out there and he's going to get his job done. That's the kind of
guy you like to play with because that's all he's worried about is playing and making plays. He's
a playmaker, one of those guys who puts constant pressure on the passer and does an excel-
lent job in the running game. Tony speaks louder with his play - he makes plays that speak for
him.''
- Green Bay Packers middle linebacker Hardy Nickerson

part of your offense is important, and Brady can do that. He's just going to get better and better. I
think his best football is yet to come."
-Jaguars head coach Tom Coughlin
"Kyle is better than ever. I have always had confidence in him; I just haven't always gotten him the
ball. We needed to change that, because he is too good not to catch the football."
-Jaguars quarterback Mark Brunell
"Ithink his blocking is very underrated. He's an exceptional blocker in the run game and he's a big
target downfield. You can match up a skilled defensive back with him, but he's still going to out-
jump him or out-fight him for the ball."

'He is a warrior."
-Jaguars head coach Tom Coughlin
"Coach Coughlin coined the phrase "warrior," and Mark truly fits the bill. I admire that attitude. He
will take off and run. He still has some spring in his step. He's just a competitor. He throws the ball
well. He runs it. He sees the field. There's really not much he can't do."
-Jaguars tight end Kyle Brady
I generally reserve the word 'brilliant' for just a few people. I think Mark is a brilliant quarterback.
I think he is an outstanding player."
- San Diego Chargers head coach Marty Schottenheimer
"He's the man. Mark is getting better all the time. He has no limitations. Who knows how good he
can be?"
-Jaguars wide receiver Jimmy Smith
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mark Brunell. He doesn't care about the odds; just
give him the football and he will make something happen. I consider him to be one of the top quar-
terbacks in the league."
- Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Ray Rhodes
There's definite leadership there with Mark. There's physical toughness the other players can
rally around. He's a great athlete. He's got size, speed, he's strong and courageous. You never
want to take away his instincts and ability to make plays."
-Jaguars head coach Tom Coughlin
"He's left-handed, so he can see the rush coming, and he can get out of the way. He can scram-
ble and throw on the run."
-Washington Redskins defensive end Bruce Smith
I was very impressed with Mark even before what he did to Buffalo and to us (in 1996). He's just
a very talented guy that will be one of the great quarterbacks ever to play the game, in my opin-
ion, in years to come. He's the reason they're having the success that they are."
- Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan
There are definite similarities (between Brunei! and Steve Young) - the way the players carry
themselves, their movement abilities, how they throw the ball, their abilities to be spontaneous and
make big plays. One player took his team to the Super Bowl and the other player is working to do
that."
- Former San Francisco 49ers head coach George Seifert
'I call them twins. Same number [eight]. Same throwing arm [left]. Same ability to scramble. Every
time I look at him, I think, 'That's Steve Young's twin.' "
- San Diego Chargers linebacker Sam Rogers
"There are some similarities (between Brunell and Young) because they are both left-handed,
they're both very fast, they're both very mobile and creative. They are both strong, tough guys.
They're like clones."
- San Francisco 49ers head coach Steve Mariucci
"Mark is a great football player. He's efficient, he's accurate and he throws the deep ball well.Those
are the things you need to be successful in the NFL. He's a great playmaker, I enjoy watching him."
- Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young
"Mark has his own style. He's always going to keep you in the game with his arm or his feet. He
is just a defensive back's nightmare, because you don't know if he's going to run or throw, and he
may do both."
- Green Bay Packers safety LeRoy Butler
Brunell is kind of like Brett Favre -only thing is, Brunell is faster than Favre. We've never faced
a guy who could do the things that he did to us."
- Former Denver Broncos defensive end Alfred Williams
"You have to try to keep Brunell in the pocket.This is tough. He can really frustrate defensive play-
ers. Just when they think they have him for a loss, he gets away and makes a big play. When he
pulls the ball down, he's not looking to run out of bounds. And at the same time, he's pretty effec-
tive throwing it."
- Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher
I have no idea where he is (when I'm blocking). I just try to stay with my man as long as I can
- and then I look up and he's running 20 yards downfield."
- Houston Texans offensive tackle Tony Boselli
' I studied players throughout the 1994 season, and I was excited about Mark's athleticism, his
leadership, his toughness, his ability to move in the pocket and his arm strength. I just felt like this
would be the guy that we would want to lead our team."
- Jaguars head coach Tom Coughlin
I knew, as I'm sure as a lot of people did, that in time he would emerge as a premier player in
this league."
- Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre
"What he's done has been remarkable. Brunell has been much better than I expected. I thought
he would be a good NFL quarterback, not what he has become. He's a lot better than good. He
is a great kid with a great family, the kind of guy you pull for."
- Former Green Bay Packers general manager Ron Wolf
"He's only 6-1. You're supposed to be 6-4 or 6-5 today to get it done. Mark Brunell is short by NFL
standards, but who can argue with the results?"
- CBS broadcaster Dan Dierdorf
"You have to be disciplined on your defensive line against Brunell.You have to be careful that you
don't get three rushers on one side of the ball. You have to pick and choose the extent to which
you're going to play man-to-man defense, because guys like Mark, when they recognize man-to-
man and defenders' backs are turned, they're going to take off and run and make big plays."
-Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher
"He's a threat as a passer and a runner. One of the main reasons why we structured the defense
that we have is to try to be able to defend guys like Mark Brunell, who we have to face twice a year."
- Baltimore Ravens VP of player personnel Ozzie Newsome
"Outside of Brett Favre, Mark's the best in the game."
- ESPN analyst Joe Theismann
"Mark is one of the rare guys that beats you in and out of the pocket. You have a lot of guys that
can run around outside that are trying to learn how to be pocket passers. You have some pocket
passers that try to make something happen outside occasionally. If you keep Mark in the pocket,
he will kill you.That makes him one of the best, if not the best, quarterback in the game right now.
With every year Mark becomes more and more comfortable in the pocket. I think he is beginning
to attain that level that Steve Young did. He is one of the dominant quarterbacks in the game."
- Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick
I have great respect for him not only as a player, but as a young man. I always have."
-Jaguars head coach Tom Coughlin
I don't care if you huddle up with him, don't huddle up, play in the single wing - whatever. If you
have Brunell touching the ball, you have problems."
- Cincinnati Bengals head coach Dick LeBeau

"He's instinctive, he has good confidence in himself and he's made some outstanding plays up on
the ball in the air. He's developed very well."
-Jaguars head coach Tom Coughlin
"A lot of times, Fernando is out there man-on-man on some of the top receivers in the league, and
he does an excellent job."
-Dallas Cowboys linebacker Kevin Hardy
"It's great to have a corner on the other side like him. He inspired me with the energy he brings
and as hard as he plays. A guy as small as he is (5-10) is not supposed to hit as hard as he does.
He lets you know he is going to come up for every game. But he also has knowledge of the game.
It is incredible how quickly he picks up things."
- New York Jets cornerback Aaron Beasley
"Fernando has great speed and he has great talent. He has a lot of ability to play at this level. But
the best thing about Fernando is he's a competitor. He hates getting beat, and he just doesn't let
it happen, He's a great guy to have in the lockerroom. I hope Fernando is here for 10 or 15 years

"aobby m a w is a very reliable, dependable, competitive and smart receiver who can play all of
m
Â
the positions. He catches the ball extremely well. He obviously has made his reputation on third
downs. I think he can be that kind of football player (like Keenan McCardell). He's very intelligent,
as Keenan was, and very competitive, but we'll have to see. Keenan had some great years and
some tremendous statistics. Over time we will be able to tell, but I do think he has some of those
attributes."

to be very tough for people to cover."

I remember when I came back from his workout when he was in college about to enter the draft
and he did some things that I hadn't seen before. His ability to run routes, cut and get in and out
of breaks reminded me of Henry Ellard, who is in the top 10 of all the records. Henry was a 180-
pound guy, and here is Jimmy who can do these things, but Jimmy came into (Dallas') camp with
injuries and appendicitis. We had quite a crew of people there, so it didn't work out. But I always
thought Jimmy would be a heck of a player.You never know what a guy is going to go on and do.
Jimmy is just phenomenal and has gone on to be one of, if not, the best player in the league.
Sometimes when you have adversity it takes you a little bit longer and you appreciate it more."
- Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Norv Turner
'In my opinion, Jimmy's the best and should be considered the best in this league. There's guy's
who are very fast, and that's all they are. But Jimmy's fast, and he's stronger that people think he
is - he's incredibly strong. He's smart and he's a big-play maker. He does things on the field that
I think, 'Wow! I've never seen him do that.' He's incredible. A lot of times, honestly, I'll just throw
the ball up in the air, sometimes a lot farther that I think it should go, and Jimmy has the incredi-
ble ability to run under that thing every time. It's like he sees that the ball is a little farther down-
field than it should be, and he just hits that extra gear that very few people have and he goes and
gets it. He can adjust his body to where that ball lands perfect."
-Jaguars quarterback Mark Brunell
"That he's developed into arguably the NFLs best receiver is a testament to his determination."
- Jarrett Bell, USA Today
"You look at some games he had against us (in Baltimore), you'd think he's unstoppable. But then,
he does that to a lot of people."
- Arizona Cardinals cornerback Duane Starks (with the Baltimore Ravens 1998-2001)
"He has moved himself into that elite group of the Jerry Rice-, Cris Carter-level of receiver. He
has really established himself as one of the elite receivers in the league."
- Baltimore Ravens head coach Brian Billick
I think he's the best receiver in football. That's not being said out of disrespect to anybody else
- I have that much respect for him. I think he is the complete package. He runs tremendous
routes. He has great hands. He has speed. He has great moves. We have to try to contain him."
- Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher
'Jimmy is like a fine wine - he just keeps getting better with age."

'There's not a lot of guys that can do what he does. He can change the course of a game on one
play. He has the ability to score from anywhere on any given play."
- Jaguars' quarterback Mark Brunei!
"He scares me because he is an explosive runner who can take it the distance at any time."
- Dallas Cowboys head coach Dave Campo
"Fred is one of those guys who can take it all the way at any time. He's an explosive back. He can
do a lot of things from a lot of different places on the field. He does things that not a lot of backs
in this league can do. He has the speed to go the distance. He can make people miss, and he has
power, too."
- Houston Texans offensive tackle Tony Boselli
"I honestly think he is going to be the next 2,000-yard back. He's unbelievable. He has speed, he
has power, he has a mixture of things that makes him successful."
- Houston Texans cornerback Aaron Glenn
"Year-in and year-out, minus the injuries, Fred is a Pro Bowl running back. Take away his injuries
and Fred can do anything that any running back in the league can do."
-Tennessee Titans defensive end Jevon Kearse
"He hits holes quicker than anybody I've ever seen:
- Miami Dolphins defensive end Trace Armstrong
"Once he gets into the crease, Fred's looking to get to the sidelines. He has outstanding speed.
I've been very impressed with Fred Taylor, what I have seen of him so far.You see defenders on
video having good angles, suddenly disappearing. He's a very dangerous runner."
- Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Bill Cowher
"This guy looks special to me. He really does. And I'm not just saying that because we're playing
him. I'll say it after the game, and I'll probably be saying that next year, unfortunately, and the year
after that."
- Former New York Jets head coach Bill Parcells
"He has very rare gifts. Anytime he touches the ball, he can go all the way. Without a doubt, his
best football is yet to come."
-Jaguars head coach Tom Coughlin
"He's growing as a player. People think they've seen the best of Fred Taylor. I don't think Fred
Taylor's even knows how good he is.You give him just a little blocking, and he's going to make big
plays. I'm just happy to play with a guy like that. I've played with Emmitt Smith, but Fred Taylor
ranks No. 1 in my heart."
-Jaguars wide receiver Jimmy Smith
'Taylor is a very elusive back. He's almost like Barry (Sanders). He makes people miss."
- Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Herman Moore
"Fred's like a silent assassin - he's very soft spoken but he carries a big stick. There's nothing
like blocking your man and looking up and seeing Fred 50 yards down the field. That creates a
spark in an offense like nothing else can. At any given moment, he has game-breaking ability.You
keep him in the game long enough, he's going to make something happen."
- Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Leon Searcy
I know what kind of player Fred is. He's the complete package. He's a great player."
- Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan
"He's a great back, a quality, quality back that is a franchise back."
-Arizona Cardinals head coach Dave McGinnis
"Anything that Fred Taylor does from here on out shouldn't surprise anybody. It doesn't surprise
his teammates. Ask him. He says, 'I need a crack, just give me a crack.' He has the type of abili-
ty to turn a 30-yard run into a 60-, 70-yard run."
- Former Jaguars offensive tackle Ben Coleman
"Fred's one of the best backs there is. You give him a little bit of a hole and he's gone. He makes
people miss. He's an all-around back. He's able to catch the ball. He can run the ball inside, he
can run the ball outside."
-Jaguars guard Brad Meester
"He's the most dynamic runner in football, and it is tough to manage him. If you can't manage him
- he rips off 20- or 30-yard runs -then the Jaguars can do pretty much whatever they want in
the passing game."
- Former Steelers fullback and ESPN analyst Merril Hoge
"Fred Taylor was one of those rare athletes who possess so much talent. Fred is such a powerful
running back that, when he hits the hole, it takes more than one guy to take him down. He has
the size and strength combined with amazing quickness that it is difficult to catch him from
behind."
-Tennessee Titans guard Zach Filler

The Jaguars' defense stepped to the forefront, holding the Tennessee Titans without a touchdown
and stopping them on fourth down three times in the final six minutes of the game, as Jacksonville
won 13-6 and went to 2-0 for the season.The Jacksonville defense had yet to allow a touchdown,
and two of the fourth-down stops of the Titans were inside the red zone, as Tennessee tried in
vain to tie the game. Stacey Mack stepped in for an injured Fred Taylor and rushed for 80 yards
and the game's only touchdown, and Mike Hollis kicked two field goals for the Jaguars.Taylor suf-
fered a groin injury in the second quarter, and Mack - who had one more yard rushing than
Tennessee's Eddie George -scored on his first series after replacing Taylor. George rushed for
79 yards, but he gained only three of them in the second half after the Jaguars' defense stiffened.
In addition to the fourth-down failures, Tennessee converted only 1 of 14 third-down opportunities.
Mark Brunell passed for 235 yards and Jimmy Smith caught seven passes for 87 yards to com-
plement Mack's running. But the Jacksonville defense was the star of the day, holding the Titans
to 264 yards, their fewest against the Jaguars in the last five games of the series.

The Jaguars lost their third consecutive game of the season 13-10 to the Buffalo Bills when Jake
Arians hit on a 46-yard field goal with 1:03 remaining. It marked the team's second straight home
loss and dropped them to 2-3 for the year. The Jaguars' offense scored its fewest points of the
season and was held below 16 points for the fourth consecutive game. The team's only points
came on a 20-yard pass from Mark Brunell to Kyle Brady and a 41-yard field goal by Mike Hollis.
Both scores came in the second half following a first half in which Jacksonville gained only 69
yards on offense. The Jaguars' defense allowed only one touchdown and 317 yards. But the
Jacksonville offense gained a season-low 247 yards. Trailing 3-0 at halftime (the Bills missed two
field goals), the Jaguars scored a touchdown on the first possession of the third quarter. However,
Buffalo, quarterbacked by former Jaguar Rob Johnson, struck back with a TD to maintain a 10-7
lead. Early in the fourth quarter, the Jaguars faced a 4th-and-1 at the Buffalo 10-yard line but
decided to attempt a game-tying field goal. However, Joe Zelenka's high snap was mishandled by
holder Chris Hanson and Jacksonville lost a scoring opportunity. Minutes later, a Hanson punt
backed the Bills to their own four-yard line and they went three-and-out and kicked a 28-yard punt.
The Jaguars gained only six yards on three plays and Hollis kicked a 41-yard field goal to tie the
game with 4:00 remaining. The Bills then drove 48 yards for the game-winning points. On
Jacksonville's final possession, Brunell was intercepted with 44 seconds left.

allowed the winning score in the final 5 1 3 of a game.The Jaguars led 13-0 before Favre threw the
first of his three touchdown passes just before halftime to cut the margin to 13-7. In the third quar-
ter, the Jaguars blocked a field goal and followed that with a 60-yard fumble return for a touch-
down by Ainsley Battles (and two-point conversion) for a 21-7 lead. But Green Bay struck right
back with two touchdowns in less than two minutes to tie the score, as Favre threw for 179 yards
in the third period. Mark Brunell drove the Jaguars downfield in the fourth quarter but was inter-
cepted in the end zone, and the Jaguars never got another drive going. Favre took over with 2:03
to play and scored in four plays. Jacksonville's final drive ended in a fumble, one of four Jaguars
turnovers for the game. Brunell passed for 311 yards, his highest total of the season, and Jimmy
Smith caught eight passes for 116 yards. Even though the Jaguars held Green Bay's Ahman
Green to 31 yards on 17 carries, the Jaguars managed just 62 yards rushing. They also were
penalized 13 times for 111 yards, their most penalties in a game since 1996.

The Jaguars defeated the Bengals 14-10 at Paul Brown Stadium, coming from behind in the fourth
quarter to snap a three-game losing streak and win their first road game in 13 months. QB Mark
Brunell threw touchdown passes to both Jimmy Smith and Keenan McCardell, and the
Jacksonville defense held the Bengals to only 200 yards, the fewest allowed by the Jaguars in one
year. The Jaguars jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter on a 17-yard TD pass from Brunell
to Smith, who caught nine passes for 119 yards and surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the sixth
straight season. But the Jaguars were kept from scoring again until the final quarter, as Cincinnati
took a 10-7 lead. Brunell hooked up with McCardell on an 11-yard scoring pass on the third play
of the quarter, and then the Jacksonville defense took over, stopping the Bengals on three straight
possessions. Cincinnati drove into Jacksonville territory on its final drive but was stopped on fourth
down at the 36-yard line. The Jaguars took over with 3:23 remaining and ran out the clock to win
the game.

GAME 13
JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS(5-8) 9 0 0 6 - 15
CLEVELAND BROWNS (6-7) 0 0 7 3 - 10 .
Playing in their final AFC Central game, the Jaguars defeated the Cleveland Browns 15-10, winning
their second straight road game and improving to 5-8 for the season.The game was completed more
than 30 minutes after both teams had gone to the lockerrooms, following the throwing of bottles onto
the field by Cleveland fans who objected to an instant replay reversal that stopped a Browns drive
on the Jaguars' 12-yard line with 48 seconds remaining. The ruling reversed a completed pass that
would have given the Browns a first down on the nine-yard line. Stacey Mack led the Jacksonville
attack with a career-high 115 yards rushing, as the Jaguars got their strongest ground game of the
season, with 128 yards. However, the Jaguars allowed a team-record-tying eight sacks for the sec-
ond straight game, as Mark Brunell was under constant pressure. Brunell connected with Jimmy
Smith on a four-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, as the Jaguars scored a TD on their first
possession for the first time in more than two years. Mike Hollis missed the extra point but later con-
nected on three field goals for the rest of ~acksonville'spoints. Although ~acksonvilleplayed without
starting cornerbacks Aaron Beasley and Fernando Bryant and had backups at three other positions,
the ~ r o w n gained
s only 220 yards (the second fewest allowed all year) and held the ball for just 22:47
(lowest for a Jaguars opponent). Cleveland scored its only touchdown on a 97-yard interception
return of a Brunell pass by Anthony Henry, who intercepted Brunell twice. The Jaguars' offense
accounted for 330 yards but lost 48 yards on sacks, and the team was penalized for 85 yards.
The Jaguars defeated the Minnesota Vikings 33-3 at the Metrodome, winning their third consec-
utive road game and improving to 6-8 for the season. Stacey Mack had his second consecutive
100-yard rushing game and scored two touchdowns, as the Jaguars gained a season-high 214
yards on the ground. Mark Brunell threw a touchdown pass in leading an offense that allowed only
one sack and did not turn the ball over, and Mike Hollis kicked a season-high four field goals. The
Jaguars scored on their first four possessions and seven of eight possessions before a kneel-
down to end the game. Jacksonville scored in all four quarters in their most decisive victory in
more than a year, and the 33 points was their most all season.The defense gave up only one field
goal on the final play of the first half and held the Minnesota offense to only 214 yards -just 28
of them on the ground, the fewest ever allowed by a Jaguars team. The Jaguars forced Vikings
starting QB Todd Bouman out of the game with a sprained thumb on Minnesota's first series, and
the Vikings had only two drives of more than 25 yards behind third-string QB Spergon Wynn.The
victory marked the first time the Jaguars won three road games in three weeks and gave them
their first three-game winning streak since December 2000.

The Jaguars won their first-ever playoff game with a come-from-behind victory over Buffalo and became the
first road team to win a postseason game at Rich Stadium. Natrone Means rushed for 175 yards and a touch-
down, and Mike Hollis kicked three field goals, the game-winner with 3:07 to play. Buffalo jumped out to a 7-
0 lead, but Clyde Simmons intercepted Jim Kelly and ran 20 yards for a score to tie the game. Simmons also
had two sacks. Buffalo took a 27-20 lead early in the fourth quarter, but Mark Brunell found Jimmy Smith for
a 2-yard TD pass to tie the score, and Aaron Beasley recovered a furnble prior to Hollis'field goal.

The Jaguars returned to the site of their historic playoff upset over Denver a year earlier, but the outcome
was not to be the same. The Broncos took a 21-0 lead early in the second quarter, however the Jaguars
closed the gap to 21-17 in the third quarter with a blocked punt returned for a touchdown and looked to
make a rally. On the next series the defense forced a fumble, but the Jaguars could not capitalize as a
fumbled snap at the Denver 16-yard line ended the Jaguars' momentum. The Broncos rolled up 51 1
yards on offense, 310 of them on the ground, and scored five rushing touchdowns in the game. The
Jaguars held the ball for just 19:01, their lowest time of possession ever.

The Jaguars hosted their first-ever home playoff game and defeated the Patriots to advance to the division-
al playoffs. Mark Brunell returned as the starter after missing nearly three games with a high ankle sprain,
but for the Patriots, Scott Zolak started for the injured Drew Bledsoe.The Patriots did not score on their eight
first-half possessions. The Jaguars took advantage and scored on two Mike Hollis field goals and a 13-yard
run by Fred Taylor. New England scored 10 points before the Jaguars bounced back with 13 in the fourth
quarter. Taylor's 162 yards rushing were the second most in a postseason game in Jaguars' history, and
his 33 attempts were the most. Hollis'four field goals without a miss extended his streak of consecutive field
goals in the postseason to 12 and broke his postseason single-game record.

Sexton, 33, is the voice of the Jaguars. He is the host of several of the Jaguars'television and
radio shows, including "Jaguars Reporters" (6:OO p.m. Mondays on WOKV), "Jaguars this Week
(6:OO p.m. Wednesdays on WOKV) and both the radio and television versions of "The Tom
Coughlin Show" (6:OO p.m. Thursdays on WOKV and 7:30 p.m. Saturdays on WJXT-TV Channel
4). Formerly sports director at WOKV, Sexton came to Jacksonville from Wichita, Kan., where he
served as assistant sports director at KNSS in 1993 and hosted various pregame and postgame
shows in addition to handling play-by-playfor the Wichita State University Radio Network. In 2000,
Sexton was a participant on the highly rated ABC-TV show "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?,"
walking away with $32,000. Sexton is chairman of the Ronald McDonald Discovery Board and is

They said it couldn't be done. They said it wouldn't be ready. But on August 18, 1995, when the
Jacksonville Jaguars played their first game in their new stadium, it marked the first time in sports
history that an expansion team had played its first home game in its first season in a new stadi-
um or arena. Not only that, but it was built faster than any major-league stadium had ever been
built in North America.
In the short period of 19 112 months, the old Gator Bowl was demolished and a new stadium
arose on the shores of the St. Johns River. And, very quickly, it was called the best stadium in the
country. Just seconds before the Jaguars kicked off their first regular-season game on September
3, 1995, NBC broadcaster Don Criqui said, "There isn't a better football facility in America." Now
in its eighth year of operation, ALLTEL Stadium is still drawing raves.
And, in less than three years, on February 6, 2005, ALLTEL Stadium will be the host site of
Super Bowl XXXIX, the biggest single-day sporting event in the world.The city of Jacksonville was
awarded the game on November 1,2000 in a vote among NFL owners.
To ensure that Jacksonville has the finest venue in the NFL, ALLTEL Stadium is undergoing a
$40 million renovation that will be finished in time for the 2003 season. Among the additions are
a sports bar, two new super suites (for 180 and 700 people), a 20,000-square-foot terrace, 20 new
escalators and five new elevators, and a new state-of-the-art press box.
Most of the additions will be on the south end of the stadium. On the main concourse level
will be a 25,000-square-foot sports bar themed by Budweiser that will be open to the field and
available to all fans attending games. Above that will be a terrace suite that can accomodate
700 people with outdoor seating, and it will have a 20,000-square-foot-enclosed private bar
and dining area with a view to the field. And, above that will be a 20,000-square-foot terrace,
easily accessible to the upper deck, with food and beverage carts that will allow fans to gath-
er and watch games from that site. Also new to the South End Zone will be eight escalators to
carry fans to every level of the stadium, as well as four elevators to serve the club, main con-
course and terrace levels. In the North End Zone will be an escalator tower to the main con-
course and upper level for the east and west sides of the stadium, as well as a platform con-
necting the east and west upper decks. A new state-of-the-art press box will be situated in the
North End Zone, complete with high-tech audio visual for media covering events at ALLTEL.
The current press box on the west side of the stadium will be converted into a 180-seat super
suite.
And, with the Super Bowl approaching, future plans call for additional enhancements to the
sports complex area. The Jaguars' practice fields are planned to be relocated to where
Wolfson Park now stands, and bleachers will be retained from the old ballpark to seat 1,800
fans, which will double the capacity for fans to watch Jaguars training camp every July and
August. The current practice fields, as well as the perimeter of the east and west sides of the
stadium, are being developed to provide a 500,000-square-foot entertainment zone adjacent
to the stadium and available for other events in the sports and entertainment complex. For
Jaguars game days, this area will include the current Adams Street Experience, a corporate
hospitality area to accomodate tailgate parties for as few as 20 and as many as 2,500 people,
a tailgate zone for ticket holders that can accomodate 5,000 people, a bandshell for pregame
and postgame entertainment, a mini-football field, and several other locations for unique enter-
tainment.
ALLTEL Stadium features two unique "signature" features, both of them state-of-the-art. The
first are the two Touchdown Clubs, which are located on both sides, and the enormous twin 60-
by-156-foot scoreboards with 24 by 32-foot Sony JumboTron screens. The Touchdown Clubs and
all 10,000 Club Seats are located at midfield, rather than being spread out horizontally through
the stadium. Each Club - with entrances that are glass-enclosed, 100-foot-high atriums - pro-
vides more than 65,000 square feet of air-conditioned comfort with a variety of food and beverage
selections. In all, 75 percent of the seats in ALLTEL Stadium are located on the sides, with just 25
percent behind the end zones.
ALLTEL Stadium seats 73,000, but additional temporary seats are added behind the South End
Zone - expanding the capacity from 73,000 to well over 80,000 -for the annual Florida-Georgia
game. A permanent deck for the temparary seats will be part of the $40 million renovation.
In 1997, Jacksonville Municipal Stadium was re-named ALLTEL Stadium after the Little Rock,
Ark.-based wireless telecommunications and information services company that is listed in Forbes
500 and Fortune 500. ALLTEL also has a regional office in Jacksonville that employs more than
1,000 employees. Revenue from the 10-year grant of naming rights is shared equally between the
Jaguars and the city of Jacksonville.
In addition to hosting at least a dozen football games every year, ALLTEL Stadium is quickly
developing into a popular venue for some of the world's top concerts. In the past few years, U2,
Shania Twain, George Strait and *NSYNC have performed at the stadium, and the Billy Graham
Crusade had four days of sold-out shows at ALLTEL in 2000.
The construction of ALLTEL Stadium in the record 19 112 months was unprecedented. Twelve
different consulting companies shaped the construction. Demolition began on the old Gator Bowl
on January 3, 1994, with approximately 90 percent of the old stadium torn down. In fact, the only
portion salvaged was the west upper deck, which had been added in 1982. A total of 121 sub-
contractors had a hand in the job ... all in all, thousands of people worked on the stadium from
start to finish. And on Friday, August 18, 1995, ALLTEL Stadium opened its doors to more than
70,000 Jaguars faithful.

SUPER BOWL COMING TO JACKSONVILLE 1
Artists's rendering of aerial view of Jacksonville's "Super Bowl on the River" on February 6, 2005
Jacksonville will truly be a Super City on February 6, 2005 when it hosts Super Bow! XXXIX.
The NFLs championship game will conclude the 2004 season with a unique "Super Bowl on the
River," featuring the largest land and water football tailgate party ever conceived.
The area near ALLTEL Stadium will be transformed into Super Bowl Landing, a hub of activi-
ties and festivities where, for one week, 100,000 people will find parties, events and lodging with-
in a compact and convenient two-mile area that can be easily walked. The most unique feature of
Jacksonville's Super Bowl will be cruise ships that serve as floating hotels on the St. Johns River
near downtown and ALLTEL Stadium.The cruise ships will provide 10,000 rooms for NFL guests
and out-of-town fans.
The NFLs showpiece game was awarded to Jacksonville on November 1, 2000, when NFL
owners voted Jacksonville to host the game over Miami and Oakland, which were also vying for
the game. The Super Bowl is always coveted by community leaders as a badge of membership in
the top tier of American cities, and it promises a local economic impact of $300 million, as the city
houses, feeds and hosts parties for as many as 100,000 game-week fans. The game will be tele-
vised worldwide, exposing Jacksonville to an audience of nearly one billion people in more than
200 countries. Thus, when Jacksonville was awarded Super Bowl XXXIX, the city took another
step toward becoming a major-league player on the national scene.
Awarding the Super Bowl to Jacksonville helped spur a $40 million renovation of ALLTEL
Stadium. And the total of 82,000 seats in the stadium for Super Bowl XXXIX gives ALLTEL the
biggest capacity of any stadium in the current rotation of Super Bowl cities.
Key players to the vote were Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver; Mike Weinstein, then the city's
director of economic development who is now running for mayor; Peter Rummell, CEO of the St.
Joe Co.; Jaguars partner and insurance magnate Tom Petway; and Mayor John Delaney.
Only 10 cities have ever hosted the Super Bowl, and Jacksonville's Super Bowl host committee
hopes that a successful game will secure a spot for Jacksonville in the NFL's rotation of cities that
host the Super Bowl. As Wayne Weaver told his fellow owners on November 1, 2000 when
Jacksonville was awarded the game: "We're going to make you very proud of your vote."

numerous stats, none of which are official stats of the league.They include such feats as: most piz-

been tackled, sacked, intercepted or blocked, mostly because he never plays ... Has soaked more
than 15,000 people with his "Super Soakers" ... Shot enough silly string to cover the road from

why everyone loves JAXSON!
