Trent John Baalke (/ˈbɑːlki/ BAHL-kee; born February 14, 1964) is an American football executive who is the general manager of the Jacksonville Jaguars of the National Football League (NFL).

Early years

A Rosendale, Wisconsin native, Baalke earned his bachelor's degree in health and physical education at Bemidji State University, where he played outside linebacker and was an All-Northern Sun Conference and All-Midwest Region honoree.

Executive career

Early career

Baalke began his career in coaching in 1989 as a graduate assistant for North Dakota State. From 1990 - 1995, he was a defensive line and strength & conditioning coach for South Dakota State. Baalke then spent two years as the athletic director of Shanley High School in Fargo, North Dakota, before breaking into the NFL as a scout for the New York Jets in 1998, a role in which he spent three seasons.

In 2001, Baalke was hired by the Washington Redskins, spending four years with the team. From 2001 to 2003, he was a national scout, before being promoted to college scouting coordinator in 2004.

San Francisco 49ers

In 2005, Baalke was hired by the San Francisco 49ers as their western region scout and in 2008, was promoted to director of player personnel, a position largely responsible for overseeing the team's college scouting operations. Baalke was chosen to lead the 49ers in the 2010 NFL draft, in place of Scot McCloughan, and a month later was given the title of vice president of player personnel. Baalke's official promotion to general manager came shortly after the firing of Mike Singletary as head coach of the 49ers, in anticipation of needing an official general manager to lure Jim Harbaugh away from Stanford for the vacant coaching position.

In January 2012, Baalke was named PFWA Executive of the Year for the 2011 season, after being credited for transforming a 6–10 team into a 13–3 team in his first season as general manager. The next month, Baalke received a contract extension through 2016.

After a 2014 season filled with reports that Baalke and then-49ers coach Jim Harbaugh had been clashing, the 49ers parted ways with Harbaugh and promoted defensive line coach Jim Tomsula to the head coaching position. Tomsula led the 49ers to a 5–11 record in 2015 and was fired on January 3, 2016. On January 14, 2016, Chip Kelly was hired as the head coach of the 49ers and led them to a 2–14 record, one of the worst conference records in their franchise history and their worst season since 2004. This led to Baalke and Kelly both being relieved of their duties on January 1, 2017.

NFL

In 2017, Baalke became a football operations consultant for the NFL. In this advisory role for NFL, he worked on game-related matters, player development, evaluation, and officiating video review.

Jacksonville Jaguars

On February 4, 2020, Baalke was hired as director of player personnel of the Jacksonville Jaguars. On November 29, 2020, he was promoted to interim general manager following the firing of David Caldwell, and was retained for the role full-time after the season.
