Jacksonville Jaguars fans have taken their frustrations to the skies.
Taking after the Giants fans who twice flew banners over MetLife Stadium with messages to co-owner John Mara, including one with a demand to “fire everyone,” Jaguars supporters had a plane fly a banner over EverBank Stadium demanding that team owner Shad Khan fire general manager Trent Baalke.
The banner read “Shad-Fire Baalke! For Duval!”
The aerial protest reflects growing dissatisfaction with the team’s performance and Baalke’s management decisions during the 2024 NFL season.
The Jaguars entered Sunday’s game against the Titans at 3-12, falling well short of expectations despite a reasonably talented roster.
This is following last season’s 9-8 campaign, in which they fell short of the playoffs.
The Jaguars last made it to the postseason in 2022, reaching the Divisional Round, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Baalke has been criticized for his draft selections, free agency moves and overall team-building strategy.
The Jaguars have been hampered by injuries, including quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who suffered a concussion at the beginning of December and later went on injured reserve ahead of shoulder surgery.
Like Giants fans, Jaguars fans have been fed up with underwhelming season after underwhelming season and are making their voices heard.
