While the Jacksonville Jaguars are in the midst of bringing in numerous outside candidates to interview for their general manager opening, an in-house candidate is considered a “strong” contender for the role.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Jaguars’ interim general manager Ethan Waugh is a “strong in-house candidate for the job.”
Adding to this, Eugene Frenette of the Florida Times-Union would report that the Jaguars hope to have their general manager named by the end of next week. There may be as many as five finalists, including Waugh.
Waugh has been the Jaguars’ assistant general manager since 2022, when he joined then-general manager Trent Baalke. Before that, Waguh was the Vice President of Player Personnel with the San Francisco 49ers from 2021-2022.
Since the Jaguars moved on from Baalke, Waugh has been operating as the team’s interim general manager, and has impressed Executive Vice President Tony Boselli.
“Ethan Waugh right now is the interim GM. He is doing a heck of job,” Boselli said in an interview on 1010XL. “I’ve been super impressed with him. He’ll have a chance to interview in the process and we will see where we end up in the end. But right now we are just kicking it off and getting going.”
Boselli also recently highlighted the three big things that the Jaguars are looking for in their next general manager.
Below are the other candidates in consideration for the Jaguars’ GM opening:
– Ian Cunningham, Bears assistant GM
– Chad Alexander, Chargers assistant GM
– Trey Brown, Bengals senior personnel executive
– Brandon Brown, Giants assistant GM
– James Gladston, Rams Director of Scouting
– Josh Williams, 49ers Director of Scouting and Football Operations
– Terrance Gray, Bills Director of Player Personnel
– Jon Robinson, Former Titans General Manager
Although there is no formal interview at this time, Fowler also mentioned Packers’ executive Jon-Eric Sullivan as a potential candidate as well.
