Jan 21, 2021 The Jacksonville Jaguars have hired Trent Baalke as the franchise’s general manager, the club announced Thursday. Baalke has been serving as the team’s interim general manager since November 29, after former General Manager Dave Caldwell was fired following the team’s 10th straight loss. “Trent Baalke has had success at virtually every level of football, notably so as a general manager who shrewdly and quickly built an NFL conference championship organization and team,” Jaguars Owner Shad Khan said. “That experience inspired us to recruit Trent to Jacksonville a year ago to serve as our director of player personnel and is one of many reasons why we are naming Trent as the new general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars."
