Alan Verlander leaving city of Jacksonville for Gator Bowl post

Moving out of city hall.  Jacksonville's Sports and Entertainment Director Alan Verlander is leaving to become the chief operating officer of Gator Bowl Sports.

Our partner Action News reports the city plans to look for a replacement for Verlander, who was hired away from Jacksonville University in 2012.

As we first reported in November, Gator Bowl Sports was created as an umbrella organization to attract big events to Jacksonville.
We have reached out to Verlander and the city of Jacksonville for additional information on when he will leave city hall.  So far we haven't heard back.
