Jaguars’ Grand Slam of GM Interviews
The Jacksonville Jaguars have set the stage for a grand spectacle in their search for a new general manager. With the recent appointments of Liam Coen as head coach and Tony Boselli as Executive Vice President of Football Operations, the Jaguars are on the cusp of completing their triumvirate of leadership by selecting a new general manager.
Exclusive Quintet in Line for the Throne
The Jaguars have cast their net wide, reaching out to five distinguished candidates for the coveted general manager position. Among these contenders are Brandon Brown, assistant general manager of the New York Giants; Mike Greenberg, assistant general manager of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers; Ian Cunningham, assistant general manager of the Chicago Bears; Trey Brown, senior personnel executive of the Cincinnati Bengals; and Chad Alexander, assistant general manager of the Los Angeles Chargers.
A Tale of Intriguing Connections
Of particular interest is the connection between Mike Greenberg and head coach Liam Coen, who were both part of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers organization in 2024. This shared history adds a layer of complexity to Greenberg’s candidacy, especially in light of the strained relations between the Buccaneers and the Jaguars.
Ian Cunningham emerges as a strong contender, with a well-established track record and a history of being a finalist in previous general manager searches. His ties to Coen through a shared agent further enhance his appeal as a potential choice for the Jaguars.
Both Brandon Brown and Trey Brown bring valuable experience from their time in the Philadelphia Eagles’ front office before transitioning to roles with the Giants and Bengals, respectively. Their tenure in esteemed organizations underscores their readiness to step into a leadership role with the Jaguars.
Chad Alexander, having been considered for the Las Vegas Raiders’ general manager position earlier this year, brings a wealth of experience from his stints with the Ravens and Jets, making him a compelling candidate in the Jaguars’ selection process.
The Weight of Decision
The departure of former general manager Trent Baalke has set the stage for a pivotal decision for owner Shad Khan, who has only selected two general managers during his tenure. The significance of this choice is magnified by the Jaguars’ vision of forming a cohesive football leadership unit comprising the new general manager, Coen, and Boselli. This triad aims to chart a course for sustained on-field success, align on critical football decisions, and provide counsel to the team owner, laying the foundation for a new era in Jacksonville football.
