I've heard and read some speculation on that and what you say may not be far from the truth. I think OB was initially on board with Oz but eventually realized he (Oz) just wasn't that good. That, plus the fact he was unhappy he had to release his buddy (Godsey) led to him leveraging the scuttlebutt that several teams were interested in him at the time.

IMO, OB does have "the look" of a head coach. If you were making a Hollywood movie about football, he'd be the guy you'd choose as the head coach of Team A. But, his offense has gone downhill every year since he's got here. The offense has got to show improvement next year or I'd consider it no great shakes if he walked....
