Wonder if he's just not a good interview, or has burned bridges in the past that have reverberated around the NFL.

I have interviewed numerous job applicants whom look incredible on paper....and then cannot string words together to form a coherent sentence if it was to save their life in an interview.

I also once choose not to hire a guy because during the 45 minutes interview process, he never once met my eyes. He was always looking somewhere else when talking. Don't know why but that was a complete turnoff.

And finally, I started tracking the number of times a guy said "uh..." in an interview...and stopped doing so when I hit 250. Seriously, he said "uh..." more than 250 times in a 30-40 minute interview. Stop....think....speak. Not a hard sequence to follow.

Lots of reason folks don't get hired for jobs.

I get it, but it's one reason I hate the job interview process for hiring.

I've worked with many people who talk great. Probably are fucking pros at interviews. Man can they talk great.

Trouble is they can't do the job to save their life (though in a cruel twist of fate, they can talk themselves out of most issues). I've worked with many more introverts who might suck at interviews but at least they work well.

Sorry, to get off that tangent, it all depends on the job I guess. With a job like Head Coach, communication is a vital skill so that stuff should hurt you.

You interviewed Jim Irsay? When and for what position?
