Worst case, we could say F it and pay the damn fine. This is not a sticking point.

It's already been reported, I believe by Adam Schefter, that interviewing him wouldn't count.

I just wasn't aware that you could interview head coach candidates while you still had a head coach in place.

It seems perfectly logical. Why would you fire someone without knowing who his replacement would be?
