Think about it......did we get every single tidbit of info during the HC search process?  Now, every single candidate interviewed knows exactly what happened.  Before the age of information overload, this process would have been behind the scenes, and they could have gone down their list privately until a deal was reached.  Now, it's all mucked up, and you can't go back to the 2nd choice or whatever choice and offer a deal.  We have ZERO idea how many times this EXACT scenario has played out all over the league in the past......or even now if other teams' plans didn't get leaked.  Twitter idiots are as much to blame in the fiasco as anyone.

I miss the good ol' days when we hired a guy like Dave Shula and social media wasn't around to let us know why.
