    Jacksonville Jaguars coach Mike Mularkey insists he wanted quarterback Tim Tebow.

    Speaking before a fan event Thursday night, Mularkey indicated reports saying otherwise were false.

    "Don't believe everything you hear or read in the media," Mularkey said. "It's hard not to want a guy like that. We wouldn't have tried to trade for him if we didn't feel like we didn't want to have him here. There were a lot of things that went into this thing to try to get Tim to come here.

    "In the long run, it did not work out. But if you do not want a player, you don't even get involved with it."

    There were reports Jacksonville's front office and coaching staff didn't really want Tebow. Owner Shahid Khan certainly did, telling general manager Gene Smith to explore a trade for the polarizing quarterback.
