Why do coaches think we are idiots? If he wasn't a "one and done" guy, why in the **** was he interviewing to begin with. He would have politely told them I'm not interested at this time. Of course he's a one and done guy if the money and situation is right. I hate lying douche bags like this.

Thats a pretty harsh statement to a guy that told 4 NFL teams that he wasnt even interested in talking about the HC position. You are taking a reporters words on "interviewing with the Browns" and applying what you deem to be a real interview. Even if the Browns and him talked for 5 minutes. Thats enough for the media to refer to that as an interview.

You also dont know if he told the Browns that he wasnt interested, and the new owner just asked to talk to him anyways. Afterwords, if he still had no interest, no big deal. A lot, and I mean a lot of people will go ahead and have that talk. But if all it takes is money and situation, hes talking to all 5 NFL teams that want to talk, not just one.

Look, there are ways to approach it without lying your ass off. Take Chip Kelly for instance and listen to what he said.

Chip Kelly set to meet with Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles - ESPN

"It's more a fact-finding mission, finding out if it fits or doesn't fit," Kelly said after the Ducks beat No. 7 Kansas State 35-17. "I've been in one interview in my life for the National Football League, and that was a year ago. I don't really have any preconceived notions about it. I think that's what this deal is all about for me. It's not going to affect us in terms of we're not on the road (recruiting). I'll get an opportunity if people do call, see where they are.

"I want to get it wrapped up quickly and figure out where I'm going to be."

Fact is, if you are listening or interviewing with a NFL team, it means you are interested. No need for the bullcrap lying about how you have no intentions of deserting them after one year, but still go on interviews. Nobody believes him.

As far as your comment about the report not being accurate? Notice he didn't deny interviewing with them either.

No offense dude, but this is a pretty naive way of thinking. Coaches are like politicians, they are not going to tell the truth, they do what some folks call coach speak. If you expect that, you are living in fantasy land. In the real non-football world, some people may have no intentions of leaving a job and interview just to see how they would fare or if they are still marketable.

I understand this, but I hate politician's that do this crap as well. Probably why I'm blasting this guy the way I am.

There is a difference between coach speak and what going on here. I realize he can't come out and call a player he's benching a scrub. I get that. There is no need for coach speak with a interview. Why? I think most people can understand a man wanting to explore any opportunities out there whether that advancement benefits you or not.

meh.....I've said my piece on the dude. Moving on....
