Loomis opens up a bit more about Coaches pulling out of search

At the same point, Johnson's value got inflated due to Detroit's record the last two years so I don't think you can ding Moore for essentially the same thing. If Moore had done this with the Eagles last year, he would have been neck and neck with Johnson during this cycle.

And it's not just Mickey saying these things. Underhill is saying this is what happened.

I was mainly referring to when the cycle began. Johnson was hot last year but declined to take an HC job, so those three were viewed as the unofficial favorites this year. The OC s & DCs of the top teams are always the hottest candidates, so it's no surprise that his name, like Brady, was a part of the discussion. I've said before we hired anyone that Mick was going to spin it as though that guy was our top choice all along. Everyone knows how I feel about Mick, so I'll leave it there. KM has a clean slate, but I find the Carr commitment concerning for our long term.
