Why did the Jacksonville Jaguars wait so long to fire general manager Trent Baalke? That's a question many fans are asking in Jacksonville right now, wondering if it cost them a chance to land their desired head coach.

Baalke had been the general manager of the Jaguars since 2021 and was in the process of seeking out the third head coach of his tenure with the team before his dismissal on Wednesday. Interim GM Ethan Waugh will have his work cut out for him as he looks to make up for lost time when it comes to finding the franchise's next coach.
