After not being able to land some of the top candidates for the head coaching vacancy, the Jacksonville Jaguars have decided to move on from general manager Trent Baalke, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Following the move, Jaguars owner Shad Khan wrote a statement about parting ways with Baalke.

“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,” Khan wrote. “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.”
