Quote:Damn, interviewing Tom before the season is over kinda feels like a slap to the face of Marrone imo. Idk if Doug is really a candidate or not, but it must be hard to feel like you have a legitimate shot at being the permanent successor when they're interviewing guys for the job you're still doing.


Whatever though. If they felt like they needed to strike while the iron was hot, then screw Doug's feelings. I love how cutthroat the league can be, although I think one day it's gonna come back to bite someone.

 

I highly doubt Doug is even remotely phased by them interviewing Tom this week.

 

The reason why he has the interim job in the FIRST place, is because they wanted to be able to start the search/interviews.

 

He knows he's a bit of a long shot to get the job, and that he has very little chance of showing enough in 2 games to really make a strong case. 

 

These guys are professionals at the highest level.  Their feelings aren't hurt by such trivial things.  He knows how the business works.  Believe me, he's got his blinders on, focused only on his job right now as the interim and making his own case.  He's not spending any time or energy worrying about anyone elses interviews.
