They've likely already "interviewed" Ray Horton, their DC.

Yeah they are believed to have been interviewing Horton today.

When you bury stuff in mega threads it's going to happen.

Most people aren't going to search a 100-page thread to see if a story has been posted already.

"Hey, Ray, could you come in here for a second?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"Uh, just wondering ... you interested in being a head coach some day?"

"Yeah, sure, I guess."

"OK, then, have a happy new year!"

If Hunt found out that Pioli was talking to the media, he could likely fire him for cause, no?

Cant get fired for talking to the media.

Probably lessens the probability of black coaches getting hired, too.

if he was specifically told not to talk the media it could be

insubordination
detrimental to the team

Talking about his Christmas, New Year's resolutions, thoughts on the fiscal cliff? I agree. Free speech.

Spreading "information" about the organization? Not so sure.

There was a thread somewhere on here where it was implied that Hunt told his FO not to talk to the media because none of them spoke for the team anymore, as all of their jobs were in jeopardy. Maybe I am not remembering that correctly but that's what I thought was said.
