Turns out ole Wade is just another opportunistic, self-serving coach looking for the next deal that's better than his current gig. In other words, your average NFL coach.

that's a bit over the top. it is unfair to hold coaches/players to a different standard than you would hold yourself or others. if someone wanted to interview you for a job that would be more prestige, a way to vindicate yourself and over double your income, but the only catch was they wanted to make a decision within a couple of weeks AND they are going to interview other people for the job as well, i am pretty sure you would make your schedule work for the interview. if you want to be mad about the situation, then be mad at the nfl rules. if wade didn't interview this week then he couldn't interview until after the texans are out of the playoffs. it would be unfair to him to say because you have done so well we are not going to let you interview for a better job.

i hope he stays, and honestly, if i was a team looking at a multi-year building process i probably wouldn't go with a 65 year old man coming off major surgery, so i think there is a decent chance he is back. but all the bs coming down on wade for doing something everyone else would do as well is terrible.
