IMO, There’s no way that Mike would be an option in that scenario. He probably feels betrayed right now. Had he known he wasn’t getting the job, he’d still be at Dallas. Him shaking lose wasn’t just luck, he took a calculated risk and lost.
Not necessarily, he took a year off between GB and Dallas, these guys have bank, they don’t have to have a job lined up to quit the one they have like the middle class folks reading this board.
