Jaguars hire 49ers’ Ethan Waugh as assistant GM

May 16, 2022 at 8:32 AM--


In a move that was expected since last month, the Jacksonville Jaguars have officially hired San Francisco 49ers' vice president of player personnel Ethan Waugh as the team's assistant general manager. This offseason, Waugh was promoted from director of college scouting and football systems to his departing title with the 49ers, so the role was short-lived.


Waugh spent 17 years in various roles with the 49ers.

Waugh isn't the only front office departure. The Minnesota Vikings have hired the 49ers' director of research and development, Demitrius Washington, to serve as their vice president of football operations.


Below is a rundown of Waugh from the 49ers Communications staff.



Waugh served as a senior player personnel coordinator for three seasons (2015-17) where he worked with all aspects of player personnel. He also spent three seasons (2012-14) as the team's senior personnel assistant. Waugh spent four seasons (2008-11) as the team's midwest regional scout.

Prior to being promoted to an area scout in 2008, Waugh served as the team's personnel assistant where he was involved in a variety of areas, including the evaluation and scouting of college and professional players and working extensively with the 49ers' scouting database.

Waugh joined the 49ers after spending the previous two seasons at Illinois Wesleyan University, where he served as the offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator.

Prior to his time at Illinois Wesleyan, Waugh served as an assistant at Western Carolina University from 1997-2001. While with the Catamounts, he coached on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball and assisted with special teams.

Mia O'Brien, a reporter for Jacksonville radio station 1010XL, was the first to link San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. A new report from O'Brien sheds light on the asking price for the star wide receiver, who is entering his fifth-year option. According to O'Brien, the 49ers sought the No. 17 overall pick, plus wide receiver Zay Jones, in exchange for Aiyuk. However, it seems this asking price was deemed too high for the Jaguars, who would have had to part ways with these assets and commit significant money to Aiyuk in the form of a contract
