Jacksonville has hired Amy Palcic as the new head of the Jaguars communications team, head coach Urban Meyer announced on Tuesday.
Palcic, who is considered one of the top public relations talents in the NFL, was surprisingly and controversially dismissed by the Houston Texans in November after the team made a change at general manager and head coach.
I’m thrilled to be able to announce a very important addition to the @jaguars. We’ve hired @amypalcic to lead our communications team! Welcome to Jacksonville, Amy!

Palcic made history when she was hired by Houston in 2013 as the first woman to serve as an NFL franchise’s top public relations contact. Her tenure was notable for helping manage J.J. Watts’ Hurricane Harvey relief fund. Additionally, her team won the Pete Rozell Award in 2017, which is given annually to the league’s top PR staff.
First & only woman to be head of PR for an NFL team and winner of the Rozelle Award for best PR Staff in the NFL.
Massive help in my hurricane relief efforts, community events and much more.
Whoever picks up @amypalcic will be getting one of the absolute best in the business.

Now, she’ll be aiding the Texans’ AFC South rival, who they have to face twice a year.
