JACKSONVILLE – This aligned feeling remains positive. Very positive.
Tony Boselli increasingly has felt that since taking over as Jaguars Executive Vice President of Football Operations in January. Head Coach Liam Coen and General Manager James Gladstone joined Boselli on the most recent "EVPodcast," and this much remained clear:
The Jaguars' new decision-makers are operating as one.
"It has been a lot of fun," Boselli said.
Boselli, Gladstone and Coen joined senior writer John Oehser on the EVPodcast shortly after the end of the 2025 offseason, with Coen and Gladstone agreeing with Boselli that the working relationship between the Jaguars' three top football decision-makers has made the last few months special.
Coen discussed his relationship with Gladstone and their similarities having grown up as sons of football coaches.
"There's a natural balance of what you appreciate in players, coaches and personnel," Coen said. "Our ways of communicating are very aligned, just naturally. When you grow up as a coach's kid – in the locker room, on sidelines – you gain a little different perspective for the game, for the players and for the people in the building. It starts there."
Gladstone discussed an increased connection between he and Coen since arriving in Jacksonville, having previously worked together in different roles with the Los Angeles Rams in 2018-2020 and again in 2022.
