It sounds to me like he's got a small list of teams he'd go to and if those jobs aren't open, he's perfectly fine staying here.

I think he turned down an interview with the Bucs in 2014 as well.

Great news.

Ballard is more important than people realize. Glad he's staying.

Agreed. We deserve a goddamned Dorsey Dynasty after suffering through Schaaf, King Carl and Scott Franchise Killer Pioli.

Look there is no reason for him to be in a hurry. Hate making this comparison because it's not fair to Ballard, but he's like Pioli back when we landed him. Hot name, who didn't jump at the first opportunity that presented itself. The Chiefs are built for longterm success, its not a flash in the pan, so he can wait for the right job. My fear is he goes to San Diego or something after they relocate.

That sounds about right. While every job has it's perks and negatives, most openings out there I'm seeing have a lot of negatives than positives.

Why add more undue stress and all that negative environment along with meddling owners onto yourself?

On the other hand, I know the GM spot isn't open, but Jacksonville is a good spot though. Kahn may have a lot of money, but so far he has been for the most part, hands-off approach at this point and they have a solid defense.

The question for that one is, is Bortles required for me to take this job or not?

This is what we get with great ownership ! Happy Happy Happy I am.

Smallest market in the NFL while giving up at least one home game to London each year will turn off better qualified candidates.

Yes, I agree with you on that aspect. However, I was looking at the whole picture. Jacksonville, to me, has a better chance of making it to the playoffs sooner than Cleveland, SF, and Buffalo.

All they need is someone who can un**** Bortles and get some kind of a offense going on that side.

The issue is kinda along the lines of Blake Bortles sucks.

Is that story about him scaring the bears a public story?

No, he scared Chicago because he knew exactly what the problems with that organization were and had a plan on how to fix it. They didn't like hearing it. Plus some wanted a GM with no previous ties to the team.

Basically Chicago really fu@ked up.

What a success Clark has accomplished building since 2013.

From my understanding, Chris Ballard would not have interviewed anywhere this year. Loves KC & his situation

yes you can google it
