I'm paraphrasing obviously, but I remember it pretty clearly and wondered why it was never brought up on CP. Maybe other teams' owners meet with potential coaches too and tell them they have the job? I dunno, just thought it was interesting.

Much like their explanation for when Feaster was hired, there was a less than extensive hiring process.
When Feaster said he wasn't in the room when Conroy and Weisbrod interviewed Hartley, I believe him. Why bother being there when your bosses have already told you he's hired.
