Trent Baalke is in just his fifth season as the general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars, yet at least one very passionate fan has had enough of him in Jacksonville.
Ahead of kickoff for the Jags’ home game against their fellow 3-12 Tennessee Titans on Sunday afternoon, a plane was seen flying around EverBank Stadium with a banner attached to the rear of it that read “Shad – Fire Baalke! For Duval!”
The message was, of course, intended for Jaguars’ owner Shad Khan to fire Baalke.
