Who have the Jacksonville Jaguars interviewed so far for their general manager opening?
Interviews started earlier this week and are taking place virtually. CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones would report that the Jaguars hope to have a new general manager in place by the end of next week, prior to the NFL Combine.
During a recent interview on 1010XL, Executive Vice President Tony Boselli highlighted what the Jaguars are looking for in their next GM:
– The character of the individual and understanding who they are.
– What is their vision and philosophy of football?
– And lastly, what’s their process for establishing that vision and then executing on it?
Boselli also added that the search committee said Boselli will be himself, owner Shad Khan, head coach Liam Coen, and team President Mark Lamping.
With help from the Jaguars team site, here is who Jacksonville has completed interviews with up to this point:
Former Titans GM Jon Robinson: The Titans had a record of 66-48 from 2016-2022 during Robinson’s tenure. They made the playoffs four times and reached the AFC Championship Game once. However, Robinson also traded away star receiver AJ Brown on draft night in 2022 to the Philadelphia Eagles as well.
Giants assistant GM Brandon Brown: Brown has been in this role with the Giants since the 2022 season. He got his start at the NFL level as a scout in the Colts’ organization in 2015 before joining the Eagles as the assistant director of pro scouting and then being the director of pro scouting.
Bills Director of Player Personnel Terrance Gray: The 2024 season was Gray’s third in his current role with the Bills. He’s been in the Buffalo organization for the last eight seasons. His background is largely rooted in college scouting.
Bengals senior personnel executive Tre Brown: Brown has been in Cincinnati since 2021 and was a finalist for the Jets GM opening this offseason. He’s also been apart of the Philadelphia and New England organizations in scouting roles. Bengals on Sports Illustrated wrote that Brown has worked closely with GM Duke Tobin during his tenure. Brown has interviewed for a few different GM openings over the years.
Chargers assistant GM Chad Alexander: The 2024 season was Alexander’s first as the assistant GM with the Chargers. Before that, he spent five seasons with the Jets as their director of player personnel. Alexander’s career started in Baltimore’s organization where he spent 20 seasons, including as a pro scout. The Chargers went from missing out on the playoffs to a playoff team in 2024 thanks to revamping their roster in free agency and hitting on a number of draft picks.
49ers Director of scouting Josh Williams: Williams has been with the 49ers the last 14 seasons and has a scouting background. He’s worked on both the college and pro scouting sides. In his current role, which he was promoted to last offseason, Williams has worked closely with 49ers’ general manager John Lynch and “directs pro and college scouting efforts,” according to the 49ers team site.
Rams Director of scouting strategy James Gladstone: Gladstone has been with the Rams for eight seasons and in his current role for four years. During that span, the Rams organization has finished with a combined record of 37-31, which includes three 10-plus win seasons, three playoff appearances, and a Super Bowl win, hitting on a number of draft picks and often operating aggressively in free agency.
Still to interview, based on the initial requests that the Jaguars made for this role, is Ian Cunningham, the Chicago Bears assistant GM and someone Adam Schefter believes will be “in contention” for this job.
Also of note, current Jaguars interim GM Ethan Waugh, who was the assistant GM under Trent Baalke, is reportedly a “strong” candidate for this role.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler would also mention Packers VP of Player Personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan as a name to watch–although no formal interview has been reported.
