The Jacksonville Jaguars followed the Detroit Lions lead by firing their general manager after a loss in Week 12. The Jaguars canned longtime GM Dave Caldwell, who was 37-85 in his eight seasons running the show in Jacksonville.
The Jaguars are 1-10 and have lost 10 in a row. They lost at least 10 games in seven of Caldwell’s eight seasons in Jacksonville.
Caldwell’s departure means there are now four teams who have fired their GMs during the 2020 season. The Lions pulled the plug on Bob Quinn on Saturday after the Lions got blown out by the Houston Texans on Thanksgiving.
The two new vacancies join openings in Houston and Atlanta. The Texans fired coach/GM Bill O’Brien after Week 4, while the Falcons sacked longtime GM Tom Dimitroff the following week. Dimitroff is widely speculated to be considered a candidate for other openings this offseason.
