The Jacksonville Jaguars’ search for their next general manager is underway. So what specifically are they looking for as they now fill this important role?
Executive Vice President Tony Boselli was recently on 1010XL’s ‘The Drill’ and went through what he and the rest of those involved in the search are looking for.
In short, there are three boxes that the candidates have to check:
– 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?
“What I’m looking for first and foremost is the individual,” Boselli. “From a character and integrity standpoint, what kind of ego does this individual has because just the way I’m wired, and probably because of the position I played, you got to be in it for each other, and it’s not about you as an individual.
“I’m not looking for the smartest guy, and to let everyone know they’re the smartest guy because how great they did when they pick good players, and if they don’t, if it’s not a good player, it’s someone else’s fault. And we’re just not going to have that in this building.”

A part of this search committee said Boselli will be himself, owner Shad Khan, head coach Liam Coen, and team President Mark Lamping.
“For me, it’s looking at the type of character and the individuals they are, and then what’s their vision?” added Boselli. “How do they how do they see building the team? What’s their philosophy? And then the process, how do you get to that answer? How do you work in a collaborative method?”
During Coen’s introductory press conference, he would also mention when discussing the GM role the importance of communication and alignment from top to bottom so that all are on the same page when it comes to not only roster building but establishing a strong culture as well.
At this time, there are eight reported candidates who will be interviewing for the general manager role. Josina Anderson would also report that the Jaguars’ may have interest in a former GM candidate, although no formal interview or discussions have happened.
Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports would report that this week the candidates are interviewing virtually and that the Jaguars hope to have the role filled sometime next week ahead of the NFL Combine.
