NFL Network: Jaguars to retain GM Baalke

Jacksonville, Fl — We know with certainty that the Jacksonville Jaguars will have a new head coach next season, but a full house cleaning is evidently not happening.

The NFL Network reports General Manager Trent Baalke will be retained by owner Shad Khan. And he will be directly involved with Khan in hiring Urban Meyer’s replacement.

Baalke has been in Jacksonville for nearly two years - he took over for Dave Caldwell when he was fired.

#Jaguars GM Trent Baalke will be retained and will be involved with owner Shad Khan in the search for a new HC. Baalke will continue to report to Khan and work in sync with the new head coach, who will also have a direct reporting line to Khan. https://t.co/mQRZMyend9

At least there was no dysfunction around these 5 relationships. 🤔 https://t.co/9BOpzIYEtW

I’d make @TonyDungy an offer he can’t refuse to be EVP of the Jaguars, then name @JimCaldwell_NFL head coach and they can pick the GM. Good men. Good football knowledge. Know how to win. Know how to develop qb and talent.
