This makes perfect sense. Why would a coach want the distraction of thinking about what he is going to do next year when he is currently coaching a team that is a legitimate Superbowl contender this year.

The more he wins this year, the more bargaining chips he will have to negotiate with for a HC position next year.

His value could be millions of dollars more in the off season if his current team keeps having success.

It's not a snub, It's perfectly logical thing to do right now.

If taking a zoom call meeting for a couple hours is going to be that big of a distraction then he has no business interviewing for another HC job ever. It's not like he has to leave mid week, fly into Jacksonville, spend the entire day in meetings, sleep over, fly back home etc. It's a zoom call lol.

It's also a nice way for him to decline the interview. He likely doesn't want it (who could blame him with Baalke here) and he knows the job wont be open in 2-3 weeks. If it is open still, that's big problems for us because it means we're likely stuck with Baalke and some random joe schmoe. He also likely knows that other jobs will be opening up between now and then that he might be more interested.

Regardless, I don't want him as the HC anyways so this is some good news for us.
