Ballard turned down an opportunity to interview for the G.M. job in San Francisco but was interested in the job in Indianapolis.
This makes San Francisco's hire of John Lynch seem even weirder. Ballard, working behind John Dorsey in Kansas City was ready to be a real GM, but the San Francisco "questionably genuine" GM job didn't interest him enough to interview. Add the lengthy list of candidates who pulled out of consideration for the 49'ers job and you have almost incontrovertible proof the GM power resides in someone other than the GM.
On the other hand, now Ballard gets to work with a franchise that already has their QB and can build around him...a far better situation than in San Francisco.
