Remember in 2011, when the Jaguars traded up to select Blaine Gabbert, a quarterback out of Missouri, in the first round of the draft? Well, the team apparently didn’t inform their head coach beforehand.

Jack Del Rio, who lead Jacksonville from 2003-2011, said on ESPN690 in Jacksonville on Tuesday that he was unaware that former general manager Gene Smith was making that move on draft night. In fact, Del Rio wasn’t even in the room when it happened.

He had left to go get some food.

“I had no idea we were going to draft Blaine Gabbert,” Del Rio said on Tuesday. “No idea. In fact, I left to go get something to eat because our pick wasn’t for much longer in the draft. I go and then I’m sitting there filling my plate thinking, ‘Oh great, we’ve got a couple more hours until we pick.’ Then I see, ‘The Jaguars are on the clock.’ I’m like, ‘What the blank is going on?’

“I walk into the draft room, and I could see it on the faces of the people in the room. They knew how uncomfortable that was, how wrong that was.”

Of course, as we know now, the move didn't work out. Gabbert only lasted three seasons in Jacksonville, throwing 22 touchdowns and 24 interceptions while compiling a 5-22 record in 27 games.

Del Rio was fired in Week 12 of that season after a 3-8 start. The team won just 23 games in his final four years, and hadn’t had a winning season since 2007.
