JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -The Jacksonville Jaguars fired pro personnel director Charles Bailey on Saturday and promoted college scouting director Gene Smith.

Smith's new title is executive director of college and pro personnel.

``This reflects another step in Gene's development and the regard with which he is held by the Jaguars and the rest of the NFL,'' Jaguars vice president of player personnel James Harris said.

Smith recently interviewed for Atlanta's general manager position, but didn't get the job. S

Frazier's interview came one day after Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Mike Smith had his second meeting with the team.

Smith previously talked with Falcons owner Arthur Blank before Friday's first meeting with the team's new general manager, Thomas Dimitroff.

McCarthy's main success before being hired by Green Bay was as a quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator. Coughlin built the expansion Jacksonville Jaguars into an AFC power in the late 1990s, getting to two AFC title games.

Neither seemed prime for so much success this season, though. The Packers are extremely young, and Favre had little familiarity with many of his receivers. Their running backs co

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Brent Hawkins was arrested and charged with drunken driving after he was stopped for speeding on his way home from a night out.

The 24-year-old was arrested early Monday when deputies clocked him driving his 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe at 64 mph in a 45-mph zone, a Jacksonville Sheriff's Office report said.

He told deputies he had three vodka and orange juice drinks during the night, the report said. He also told the arresting deputy that he had a previous

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -The Jacksonville Jaguars found their quarterback, developed a prolific offense and won a playoff game for the first time in eight years.

Now comes the tough part: closing the gap on AFC powers Indianapolis and New England.

Jacksonville is 1-8 against the Colts and Patriots the last three years - the main reason the Jaguars haven't won a division title and haven't advanced very far in the postseason.

``We're not there, but we're a good team,'' receiver Dennis Northcutt said.

``Hopefully, I was going to catch them sleeping, and I did,'' he said.

Eight plays later - two of them runs by Maroney - and the Patriots had a touchdown and were on their way to Saturday night's 31-20 playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Now the 21st pick of the 2006 draft - nine spots before the Colts Joseph Addai - is waiting for the AFC championship game against the San Diego Chargers next Sunday and another comparison by which he falls short. That would be NFL rushing leader

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -In a span of five plays in the fourth quarter, Rodney Harrison showed the Jacksonville Jaguars why he's still one of the most feared defensive backs in the league.

Less than 30 seconds after being called for a late hit out of bounds, the New England safety picked off David Garrard to clinch the Patriots' 31-20 AFC playoff victory over Jacksonville. It was Harrison's fourth consecutive playoff game with an interception, tying Aeneas Williams' NFL record.
