Last year, Chiefs director of player personnel Chris Ballard passed on a chance to interview for the G.M. job in Tampa. He wanted to stay with the Chiefs.
This year, per Albert Breer of NFL Media, Ballard has passed on a chance to interview for the G.M. job in New York. Presumably, he has no desire to join the Jets.
Ballard is believed to have the inside track to become the G.M. of the Bears. The Jets should have known that, and perhaps they shouldn’t have asked Ballard to interview.
That’s the problem for the Jets. Their failure to get people to interview is creating the perception that no one wants the job.
Maybe in this case perception is reality.
