What I'm wondering about is whether any of this stuff came up during McDaniels' interviews for the job. Cutler is pretty much the face of the franchise. You would think that one of the questions for McDaniels is what he thought of Cutler and whether he wanted to work with him. Also, everyone knew Cassel was on the trade block. You would also think that one of the follow up questions is whether McDaniels had any desire to pursue Cassel. If McDaniels said he would be interested in pursuing Cassel, then they should have had a better plan than they did. If McDaniels said he was happy with Cutler, I would be pretty steamed if I'm the owner and only 1 month later he's alienated my QB to the point where he's requested a trade.
From the comments I've read from Bowlen, it doesn't sound like these questions were really considered. That strikes me as peculiar.
