It's possible, but my main point was that we can't assume anything based on the question and answer. All he said is that he was never asked to be the coach and reports about him being the guy and negotiating regarding the GM were false.

I never know what to make of these things.

Because the conversation could have totally been:

- 'If we were to offer you the job, would you be okay with Baalke."
* 'In that hypothetical, I would not be okay with that.'
- 'So if....'

Like all or half of it could have all been true or asked in hypothetical or subtext which allows anyone to say anything or deny anything with a straight face.
