Quote:This was probably the most telling thing from his press conference. I`ve always felt Khan was handcuffing Dave with Gus the last 2 years.

 

So much for letting the football people make football decisions.

 

Only that wasn't actually what he was asked.  I'm waiting for the presser video to be posted (or a transcript)  in order to be certain, but it seemed like the reporter was axing if Dave may be OK hiring someone outside of his "circle."  Someone he didn't know personally or professionally or hadn't been keenly aware of prior to the search. 

 

While it seems clear that the Bradley hiring was somewhat of a group decision, Caldwell did not just come out and say "Gus was not my guy."  Not at all.
