Jacksonville Jaguars Hire James Gladstone As General Manager
After a long and exhaustive search their quest for a GM is finally over. Multiple highly qualified candidates were interviewed some of them more than once. But in the end, the Jacksonville Jaguars hired James Gladstone as their General Manager agreeing today to terms. Gladstone comes to Jacksonville after nine seasons with the Los Angeles Rams (2016-24). Most recently serving as director of scouting strategy (2022-24). In that position he worked closely with General Manager Les Snead on strategic planning. And he oversaw the execution of day-to-day scouting processes.
During his nine years with the Los Angeles Rams the team secured four NFC West division titles and appeared in the postseason six times. In addition, they won Super Bowl LXI for the 2021 season at which time Gladstone served as the director of scouting. From there he began his front office career with the Rams as senior assistant to the general manager from 2016-17.
“It’s my honor to introduce James Gladstone as the new general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars,” said Jaguars Owner Shad Khan.
“James emerged as my choice, and our choice, following a painstaking but energizing interview process that left nothing to doubt. Every candidate delivered, and I am grateful to them all for their preparation and time spent with us this week in Jacksonville. In the end, we found James to be a class ahead and exceptional in every regard – vision, new ideas, communication, chemistry and a keen understanding of the league and our team, to name a few of many virtues he will bring immediately to the Jaguars. It’s going to be fun watching James work with our football leadership team of Liam Coen, Tony Boselli and Tony Khan, but most of all it will be rewarding. I am confident of that.”

Khan went on to express his appreciation for the support of the Jaguars faithful.
“This is also an occasion to thank Jaguars fans everywhere for their support and faith over the years. I know we can count on them to warmly welcome James to Duval while rallying behind our organization and team as we chart a new and promising path forward.”
So now they have their general manager, their head coach and a franchise quarterback. Can the Jaguars climb out the basement they were in last season? Has the right mix of personnel been gathered together to get the team back on track? Of course only time will tell but we will see how they progress throughout the offseason. In the meantime, congratulations to James Gladstone on this promotion.
