There's no way to sugarcoat it. Trent Baalke was a controversial figure during his stint as the general manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Sure, he had his fair share of hits, but not nearly enough to overcome his many misses. Couple that with the fact that he was seemingly to work with, and nobody batted an eye when the Jags fired him to court head coach Liam Coen. In retrospect, the ousting was was big reason for the team's impressive turnaround.
Granted, it hasn't been easy. Baalke's replacement, James Gladstone, had his work cut out when he took over the front office.
