Jaguars Fans Fly Banner Demanding GM Trent Baalke Be Fired

Aerial protest over EverBank Stadium reflects growing frustration with Jacksonville's poor performance this season.

A plane carrying a banner urging Jaguars owner Shad Khan to fire GM Trent Baalke flew over EverBank Stadium before Jacksonville's game against the Titans.
The banner, reading 'Shad - Fire Baalke! For Duval!', highlights fans' dissatisfaction with Baalke's leadership and the team's 3-12 record this season.
Baalke, in his fifth year as general manager, has faced criticism for draft choices, free agency decisions, and overall team-building strategy.
The Jaguars have made the playoffs only once under Baalke's tenure, during the 2022 season, and have struggled to meet expectations despite a talented roster.
Injuries, including quarterback Trevor Lawrence's concussion and subsequent shoulder surgery, have further hampered the team's performance this year.
