Hypothetical: If Moore said no, then what?

You think that's possible?
Possible? I think so. Probable? no. I think at that point, anything is worth a shot. If they are honest with him and/or can frame it in a way that we had 2 top choices, Moore for A, B & C reasons and McCarthy for X, Y & Z reasons maybe you could convince him to change his mind. How comfortable is McCarthy to go without a salary for a year? I don't know if we'll see him in some kind of broadcast position like Payton did. Yeah its a hit to not be anyone's top choice despite his track record, but it could still work out in both party's favor.
