Quote:Using Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell as an example,  for whatever reason (s ) he decided not accept the Jets offer last winter for their GM job.    It's realistically possible Caldwell would have agreed to become the Jets GM if he didn't have a chance to land the Jaguars or another GM job last winter.   Yet,   it seemed like Caldwell had major concerns about accepting the Jets GM job.  

 

Granted,  there's risk to turn down a GM job,  in waiting for a better opportunity from another team.   However,  if you accept the GM job and the organization has too many pitfalls to overcome,  the GM probably won't get another NFL GM opportunity. 

 

I respect both viewpoints on this topic.  Having said that,  if I was in the position of a highly regarded GM candidate,   I would stay with my current organization unless an opportunity that I feel right about presents itself.
