3 DAYS AGO - As reported, the Jaguars will be promoting interim GM Trent Baalke to the permanent role. During the introductory press conference for new Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer, owner Shad Khan stated that the team would ideally have a new general manager by a week or so. Today, the team announced the hire, officially removing the “interim” tag off of Trent Baalke, naming him the team’s new general manager moving forward. “Trent Baalke has had success at virtually every level of football, notably so as a general manager who shrewdly and quickly built an NFL conference championship organization and team,” said Jacksonville Jaguars Owner Shad Khan. “That experience inspired us to recruit Trent to Jacksonville a year ago to serve as our director of player personnel and is one of many reasons why we are naming Trent as the new general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

4 DAYS AGO - Mike Watters-USA TODAY Sports The Jacksonville Jaguars had a miserable campaign in 2020, finishing the season with the worst record in the NFL at 1-15. However, one clear bright spot was undrafted rookie running back James Robinson. In just 14 games, Robinson rushed for 1,070 yards, which ranked fifth in the league, and averaged 4.5 yards per carry. Robinson also added 344 receiving yards, and set a new NFL record for yards from scrimmage from an undrafted rookie with 1,414. He averaged 101 yards from scrimmager per game. Robinson also had 10 total touchdowns (seven rushing scores and three receiving scores). Robinson’s performance this year did not go unnoticed, as the Pro Football Writers of America included him on its All-Rookie Team for the 2020 season.

It appears we now have our first answer to that, as Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports reports that Meyer is expected to bring back offensive line coach George Warhop. Urban Meyer is expected retain Jags offensive line coach George Warhop.— Dennis Dodd (@dennisdoddcbs) January 19, 2021 Warhop has spent the past two season with the Jaguars, after being hired by Marrone in 2019. In 2020, the Jaguars ranked 11th in the NFL with 4.5 rushing yards per carry, but ranked 29th in rushing yards per game (94.9), due to a league low 337 rushing attempts. The low rushing attempts and yardage totals had a lot to do with the team playing from behind more often than not this past season. In pass protection under Warhop’s lead, Collapse

Texans' Anthony Weaver to interview with Jaguars' Urban Meyer:https://t.co/V9WAz66knF— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) January 17, 2021 The Jaguars have been linked with a wide array of coaches on both sides of the ball since they hired Urban Meyer as their new head coach and Weaver is another name on that list. I would presume Weaver would interview for some capacity on the defensive line, however the Jaguars are also rumored to be interested in Baltimore Ravens defensive line coach Joe Cullen in the same capacity, albeit with an elevated role. Perhaps the Jaguars could bring both on board with different focuses on the defensive line. Weaver has been with the Texans coaching staff since 2016, coaching the offensive line, and was elevated to the defensive Collapse
