Hi, guys.

Yeah, you know what?

It's actually normal.

Look, this is a high-profile head coach who is an offensive-minded head coach, right?

And that's kind of a big need right now around the league.

So it was smart of him to scope it out, figure out maybe he could get another head coaching gig after the Miami Dolphins fired him.

So I don't think a lot of people realize this, but you can sign on as an offensive coordinator.

You can sign the papers.

You can do all of it.

You can make the big announcement on social media.

And if, let's just say, for example, right now, the Buffalo Bills call him and say, hey, Mike, we want you to be the head coach of the Buffalo Bills and coach Josh Allen.

He can do that.

He has every right to just take a head coaching job because the rules state that if it's a higher position, you're able to do that.

So a lot of people don't do that, right?

Because that's going to ruin relationships.

Obviously, Jim Harbaugh is not going to like that.

So if you were sensing some weirdness with it, it's because it was weird.

I think Mike had desires to still be a head coach and wanted opportunity, but also realized if that didn't shake out, the best opportunity would be with the Chargers.

And I don't think he really wanted to piss off Jim Harbaugh through this either, right?

Because he gave him his word, hey, I'm going to be here, I'm going to be your coach.
