The Jaguars’ front office and coaching staffs have seen plenty of change this offseason. Continuity will be in place with respect to president Mark Lamping, however.
The team announced on Tuesday that Lamping has agreed to a contract extension. As a result, he will continue in his current capacity through the 2030 campaign. Lamping has served as the Jags’ president since Shad Khan took over as owner in 2012.
“As we look ahead at what will be crucially important years for the Jaguars off the field, especially given all that involves the Stadium of the Future project, the leadership of Mark Lamping is needed more than ever,” a statement from Khan reads. “I’m very happy and proud to say that Mark will continue to serve as our team president, and I thank Mark for his commitment to making the Jacksonville Jaguars a model business organization throughout the NFL and in all of sports.”
Lamping has led the Jaguars’ business operations since his arrival, and he landed a five-year extension in 2020. Prior to his time in Jacksonville, he worked as president of Major League Baseball’s St. Louis Cardinals from 1994-2008 and then the CEO of MetLife Stadium. Lamping also holds the title of non-executive director of Fulham FC, the English Premier League team owned by Khan.
Jacksonville moved on from head coach Doug Pederson after the 2024 season ended. That decision was expected by many to include general manager Trent Baalke also being dismissed, but Khan elected to initially keep him in the fold. Things changed rather quickly midway through the hiring cycle, though, with Baalke’s firing being followed by Liam Coen accepting the head coaching position.
The Jaguars still have a GM vacancy, with Coen’s preferred choice (former Buccaneers colleague Mike Greenberg) withdrawing from consideration. The organization’s new-look staff – which now includes Hall of Fame left tackle Tony Boselli – will continue in its search for a general manager over the coming days. Regardless of how that process plays out, Lamping will remain in place for the foreseeable future.
