the jaguars will interview steve keim, the vice president of player personnel for the arizona cardinals, for their vacant general manager position, according to a report from jason la canfora of cbs sports.

Keim has spent his entire career over the last 14 seasons with the cardinals after originally joining the team as a regional scout prior to the 1999 nfl season. After a series of promotions through his time with the team, including time as the director of college scouting and director of player personnel, he was eventually named the team's vice president of player personnel in may 2012.

A former offensive lineman at nc state, keim had a short stint with the miami dolphins in 1996 and again with the edmonton eskimos of the cfl in 1997.

Khan Was in san jose for 5 hours, 22 minutes. Was in Georgia for 3 hours, 41 minutes. Make you will out of that.

might say gamble looks better chance right now

[WolvesJagsOs]

Although I think this process gets done rather fast...there will probably be a few more interviews so I wouldn't get clinged to one guy and think it happens. I certainly like Cambell though. Good news.

Jaguars interviewing Keim. He should be the guy.

Pete Prisco ‏@PriscoCBS

Me? Keim and make a push for Sumlin.

fwiw

[WolvesJagsOs]

No idea what the 2nd part means and why he thinks he should be the guy...

I would like any of the candidates I have heard so far, whether it be Cambell, Caldwell, Keim, or Highsmith.

If gamble is the man does that mean Alex smith is a jag next year?

[WolvesJagsOs]

I highly doubt just because we get a guy from the 49ers org. does that mean we get Alex Smith.

[DavidR]

Smith needs a lot of help to be a good QB, he would not survive here.

[Jags4Life]

Disagree. He's better than tebow. Gab. Henne

[kingjaymes23]

Was really really hoping the Jags would get Gamble. Not that they can't still get him, just seems that it will end up being Keim or Caldwell. I was hoping for Gamble first, the Packers guy (highsmith?) second, and Keim was third on my list. Let's see how it plays out though

[WolvesJagsOs]

Looks like we met/will meet with Caldwell again today.

One thing about #Falcons VP David Caldwell -- He knows Mike Mularkey. They apparently have a good relationship. File that away.

Well, maybe he will do better next year. I guess we can only be patient with him.
