Jaguars fire GM Dave Caldwell

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —

The Jacksonville Jaguars have fired General Manager Dave Caldwell.

I’ve met with Dave Caldwell to express my appreciation for his service to the Jacksonville Jaguars as our general manager. Dave was exceptionally committed and determined to bring a winner to Jacksonville, but unfortunately his efforts were not rewarded with the results our fans deserve and our organization expects. Our football operation needs new leadership, and we will have it with a new general manager in 2021.

—  Jaguars owner, Shad Kahn

Trent Baalke will serve as the interim general manager through the end of the 2020 season, according to the Jaguars.

Khan also spoke with head coach Doug Marrone to confirm that their decision to move on from Caldwell has no impact on Marrone or his coaching staff.

Khan told Marrone his position is secure through the end of the 2020 season.
