The Jacksonville Jaguars made the news official and announced that they have hired Rams’ Director of scouting and strategy James Gladstone to be the team’s next general manager.
Following the initial reports, Jaguars’ Owner Shad Khan released a statement about the organization’s decision to hire Gladstone:
“It’s my honor to introduce James Gladstone as the new general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars,” wrote Khan.
“James emerged as my choice, and our choice, following a painstaking but energizing interview process that left nothing to doubt. Every candidate delivered, and I am grateful to them all for their preparation and time spent with us this week in Jacksonville. In the end, we found James to be a class ahead and exceptional in every regard – vision, new ideas, communication, chemistry and a keen understanding of the league and our team, to name a few of many virtues he will bring immediately to the Jaguars. It’s going to be fun watching James work with our football leadership team of Liam Coen, Tony Boselli and Tony Khan, but most of all it will be rewarding. I am confident of that.
“This is also an occasion to thank Jaguars fans everywhere for their support and faith over the years. I know we can count on them to warmly welcome James to Duval while rallying behind our organization and team as we chart a new and promising path forward.”
The Jaguars interviewed 11 candidates virtually and then whittled that list down to five finalists and held in-person interviews over the last two days.
Along with Gladstone, the other finalists included Bears’ assistant GM Ian Cunningham, 49ers Director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams, Packers VP of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan, and Jaguars’ interim GM Ethan Waugh.
Gladstone joins the Jaguars after spending the last eight seasons with the LA Rams, the last three of which have come in his current role as the Director of Scouting and Strategy.
During his time with the Rams, Gladstone has worked closely with GM Les Snead and has played an integral part in Los Angeles’ success the last several years in the NFL draft.
