The Jacksonville Jaguars made the stunning decision to part ways with general manager Trent Baalke in the middle of their head-coaching search. Team

Baalke had been the general manager of the Jaguars since 2021 and was in the process of seeking out the third head coach of his tenure with the team before his dismissal on Wednesday. Interim GM Ethan Waugh will have his work cut out for him as he looks to make up for lost time when it comes to finding the franchise's next coach.

Team owner Shad Khan made the announcement Wednesday, hours after Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Liam Coen withdrew his name for consideration for the Jaguars job and agreed to a new contract with the Buccaneers.
