Jon-Eric Sullivan of the Green Bay Packers is the newest candidate for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ general manager search has officially hit double-digits.
The Jaguars finished their second interview of the day for the vacant role on Friday, announcing a completed interview with Green Bay Packers’ Vice President of Player Personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan.
Sullivan, who was a finalist for other general manager jobs this cycle, is the son of former Jaguars wide receivers coach Jerry Sullivan.
So far, the Jaguars have completed virtual interviews with Sullivan, Chicago Bears Assistant General Manager Ian Cunningham, Los Angeles Chargers Assistant General Manager Chad Alexander, New York Giants Assistant General Manager Brandon Brown, former Tennessee Titans General Manager Jon Robinson, Buffalo Bills Director of Player Personnel Terrance Gray, Cincinnati Bengals Senior Personnel Executive Trey Brown, Los Angeles Rams Director of Scouting Strategy James Gladstone, and San Francisco 49ers Director Of Scouting and Football Operations Josh Williams.
Including interim general manager Ethan Waugh, the Jaguars now have 10 known candidates for the role vacated by ex-general manager Trent Baalke.
The list includes: Waugh; New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown; Chicago Bears assistant general manager Ian Cunningham; Cincinnati Bengals senior personnel executive Trey Brown; and Los Angeles Chargers assistant general manager Chad Alexander; Los Angeles Rams director of scouting James Gladstone; San Francisco 49ers director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams; Buffalo Bills Director of Player Personnel Terrance Gray; former Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson; Green Bay Packers vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan.
In addition to the general manager search, the Jaguars made a key front office hire last Monday by naming Tony Boselli as the team’s new executive vice president of football operations. Boselli will now work hand in hand with the Jaguars’ new general manager and head coach Liam Coen to form the Jaguars’ newest power structure.
“Boselli will report to Khan, as does new head coach Liam Coen. The team’s general manager will also report to Khan once that hire has been made in the weeks ahead. The new general manager will then join Coen and Boselli to form a football leadership unit that will collaborate and align on all major football decisions, develop a long-term strategy for sustainable on-field success, and provide counsel to the team owner,” the Jaguars said in a statement.
