It doesnt actually say he didnt give permission. And it wouldnt say that because Irsay has no say over it. As mentioned before, teams cannot prevent their employees from interviewing for higher level jobs. In fact, Polian did interview for at least one of those jobs that was mentioned, the one with San Francisco. He just didnt take it.
What the article says is that Irsay swatted away the attempts by other teams to lure Polian, which could be taken several ways. And since it cant mean that he didnt allow permission, it likely means he did various things to keep Polian with the Colts (raise, promotion, so on).
