The Jacksonville Jaguars parted ways with general manager Trent Baalke on Wednesday.

“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,” Jaguars owner Shad Khan said in a statement released by the team.

“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. I am deeply committed to building a winner here in Jacksonville and look forward to introducing a new head coach who will make that happen for our players and fans alike.”

Baalke, 60, has been with the Jaguars since 2021. Under his watch, the team has posted a 25-43 record — including a 4-13 mark this season with the now-fired Doug Pederson as the head coach.

Multiple media outlets reported earlier on Wednesday that Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen stepped out of consideration as a candidate to become head coach in Jacksonville.

Baalke also served as the vice president of player personnel and general manager of the San Francisco 49ers from 2010-16. The 49ers fell in Super Bowl XLVII to the Baltimore Ravens and went 57-54-1 during his time with the team.
