The Jacksonville Jaguars are about to do what the fan base has been asking for years now. Finally, they have a shot at having a different general manager, one whose name isn't Trent Baalke. Nothing against the guy personally, but the fan base has frankly been fed up with the decisions Baalke has made for some time now. It was time to move on, the only issue is, that it was time to move on a few years ago.
Baalke has had an issue drafting talented players for some time now. He hasn't been able to put it together yet and it's hindered them at times from continuing to move forward within their initial rebuild. And, he has made some significantly bad decisions when it comes to free agency and even personnel decisions.
So, yes, it was time to move on, and now the Jaguars are almost done with their search for a general manager. They are now one step closer after having an interview with Josh Williams on Tuesday.
