It all came to a head, on Saturday when the Jaguars introduced their newest head coach, Doug Pederson to the media, fans and observers alike.
In attendance were many various staff members, Perdson’s family and friends, and plenty of reporters itching to get the latest from Jaguars owner Shad Khan and general manager Trent Baalke.
Heading into the day, there was a question of whether or not Baalke would even be in attendance.
With noise outside of the building that the Jaguars GM was a hindrance in a portion of the coaching search process and the rumor of a potential change within the front office, there was reason to believe Baalke’s presence would either be minute or gone altogether.
