The Jets wanted Dave Caldwell, who picked the Jaguars. Then the Jets wanted Tom Telesco, who bolted to San Diego.
When candidates who have options opt to go elsewhere, that’s a problem.
Former Browns and Eagles G.M. Tom Heckert previously canceled an interview, Ravens assistant G.M. Eric DeCosta resisted overtures from the Jets, former Bills, Panthers, and Colts G.M. Bill Polian wasn’t interested in the job (it’s not clear how interested the job was in him).
Mehta confirms that Gamble’s interview didn’t go well, prompting the one-time frontrunner to fall off the map completely
