As I have been in corporate America for 30+ years let me tell you why Duke declined the interview......and here it is.

This is a volatile negative issue.  Zach is that the for front of the decision and representing not only himself but the Bengals on this particular matter.  He is acting as if the buck stops with him and the Bengals are supporting him as their focal point in this case.  Interviewing Duke would dilute the focus and frankly add nothing to the conversation as Zach is already giving us Corporate Speak.

Summary:  Zach is the focal point on the firings/hirings and Duke will not address it.

We get Zac is front facing for hiring and firing of the coaches. Why waste time interviewing him about that when like you said Zac gives us enough. Questions about the roster makeup, draft failures, scout department size, FA approach, and contracts is what he was avoiding. 

Summary: He’d probably love to talk about assistant coaches wishlists. 
 
I get from your corporate executive training you throw the fall man to the wolves to shield attacked on executive decisions you make so you can live long and fat on corporate greed. That don’t make it right.
