Well, if Doogie said it, then the opposite is likely true.
That's because Flip doesn't currently have a job as a coach, so Flip's agent had no reason to leak info to Doogie so he could run with it.
I also think it could have worked out several different ways where an offer was never formally made. . .
Teague: Do you have any interest in the Gopher job?
Flip: Possibly, under the right conditions.
Teague: What are those conditions?
Flip: (whatever Flip is looking for)
Teague: Could you tell me about the kind of staff you'd be interested in putting together
Flip: Well, I'd like ______, ________, and ________ if he's available.
Teague: I'm sorry Flip, I just think we want to go in the direction of someone with more ties to the college game, etc, etc, etc.
We obviously have no idea what happened, but I think it's perfectly possible that the potential staff was part of the hold up AND Flip was never offered. I also think there is a good chance that Teague had a young coach/relentless recruiter type in his head and thats where he was going. Flip also could have more interest in NBA positions.
Who knows? But it's entirely possible that Flip was never offered the job with Flip being in strong consideration for the job.
