Jaguars Interviewing ESPN’s Louis Riddick For GM Job

Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen are reporting that the Jaguars are scheduled to interview ESPN analyst Louis Riddick for their GM vacancy on Wednesday.

This is the first reported interview for the Jaguars as they begin their search. 

Riddick has been a popular GM candidate in recent weeks and has already interviewed with the Lions and Texans for their vacancies. He’s also been mentioned as a candidate for the Falcons’ GM job.

Riddick, 51, finished his playing career in 2001 and later took a job with Washington as a pro scout. He worked his way up to director of pro personnel before joining the Eagles as a pro scout in 2008.

Riddick once again managed to work his way up to director of pro personnel in Philadelphia before he was relieved of his duties in 2013. He has spent the past several years working as an ESPN analyst.

The 49ers interviewed Riddick for their GM vacancy before they hired Kyle Shanahan and paired him with John Lynch. Riddick was also connected to the Chiefs’ GM job and later interviewed for the Giants’ GM job that ultimately went to Dave Gettleman. 

We’ll have more regarding the Jaguars’ GM search as the news is available.
