Jaguars Fire GM Baalke, Seek New Leadership

The Jacksonville Jaguars have parted ways with general manager Trent Baalke, as announced by owner Shad Khan, two weeks after firing head coach Doug Pederson. Baalke's exit comes during a challenging period for the Jaguars, who missed out on top coaching candidates Ben Johnson and Liam Coen, partly due to Baalke's poor reputation. Fans have expressed relief and optimism, seeing Baalke's departure as overdue given his controversial decisions and the team's performance. Khan stated the decision was mutual and thanked Baalke for his efforts, while interim GM Ethan Waugh takes over as the franchise searches for a new head coach. Potential candidates for the GM role include Louis Riddick and Mike Greenberg, known for their experience and expertise. This change underscores Khan's commitment to building a winning team.
