The Jacksonville Jaguars made the stunning decision to part ways with general manager Trent Baalke in the middle of their head-coaching search.
Team owner Shad Khan released the following statement regarding the decision:
"Following several discussions with Trent Baalke this week, we both arrived at the conclusion that it is in our mutual best interests to respectfully separate, effective immediately. Trent leaves us with my deepest appreciation for his efforts over the past five seasons. Ethan Waugh will serve as interim general manager and play an important role, with others, as we continue the process of interviewing candidates to serve as our new head coach.
