Shad Khan, the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, has made significant changes to his team's management recently. The month began with the firing of head coach Doug Pederson, followed by the dismissal of long-time general manager Trent Baalke, marking a new era for the franchise. Khan's aggressive pursuit led to the hiring of Liam Coen as the new head coach. This shift opens the door for Khan to begin a search for a new general manager, a position he has filled only twice since taking ownership over a decade ago. The current roster is considerably more impressive than it was in past years, featuring key players like a franchise quarterback and strong offensive and defensive lines. With ten draft picks in 2025 and state-of-the-art facilities, the Jaguars present an attractive opportunity for potential candidates.

As Khan seeks to replace Baalke, it’s crucial that the new general manager aligns closely with Coen to foster a collaborative environment. Baalke's failure to build strong relationships with coaches was evident, and Khan aims to avoid a repeat of that scenario with his next hire. Finding a candidate with a fresh perspective and good interpersonal skills is now a priority, as Khan looks to revitalize the Jaguars and meet the expectations of their growing fan base.
