Jaguars Interview Five Finalists For GM Position

The Jacksonville Jaguars are advancing in their search for a new general manager, having narrowed down their candidates to five finalists after a week of virtual interviews. Among those selected are Bears assistant GM Ian Cunningham, Packers VP of Player Personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan, interim GM Ethan Waugh, Rams Director of Scouting James Gladstone, and 49ers Director of Scouting Josh Williams. In-person interviews are scheduled to begin on February 19, with the Jaguars aiming to finalize their hire before the NFL scouting combine. The search committee, which includes owner Shad Khan and executive vice president Tony Boselli, is focusing on candidates' character, football philosophy, and execution processes. The Jaguars hope to fill the role quickly following the departure of former GM Trent Baalke, with a total of 11 candidates having interviewed. This process reflects the team's commitment to building a strong front office structure alongside new head coach Liam Coen.
