Shad Khan’s Confidence in Jaguars’ New Leadership
The Jacksonville Jaguars have embarked on a new era, appointing a fresh leadership team that includes James Gladstone as General Manager, Liam Coen as head coach, and Tony Boselli as executive vice president of football operations. Despite their collective lack of NFL leadership experience, team owner Shad Khan remains optimistic about the future.
A Bold Move for the Jaguars
The decision to bring in Gladstone, Coen, and Boselli marks a significant shift from the Jaguars’ recent history. Previous leaders like Doug Marrone, Urban Meyer, and Doug Pederson brought extensive coaching backgrounds, while Trent Baalke had already served as a General Manager. However, this new trio is stepping into their roles for the first time in 2025, signaling a fresh start for the franchise.
Shad Khan’s Vision
In a recent press conference, Khan expressed his confidence in the new team, stating, “I think collectively they’re going to have great success. We’re all aware that they’re new, but a huge amount of the potential to really grow into it. I couldn’t be more excited, frankly. I think the brainpower, the bandwidth, the different experience, are really complementary.”
Khan’s belief in the new leadership extends beyond the top roles. The Jaguars will also feature first-time coordinators on both offense and defense, further emphasizing the franchise’s commitment to a fresh approach.
Embracing Change

- First-Time Roles: General Manager, Head Coach, Executive VP
- Fresh Coordinators: Offense and Defense
Khan’s approach suggests that experience isn’t the only path to success. He highlights the importance of innovative thinking, stating, “This isn’t about, ‘Hey, I’ve got X years of experience in something.’ A lot of times it turns out to be one year of experience X times over.”
Looking Ahead
As the Jaguars prepare for the upcoming season, the team’s new leadership is poised to bring a fresh perspective to the NFL. With Khan’s support, they aim to transform the franchise and achieve the success that has eluded them in recent years.
