Sure, I'd probably get over it eventually and just get back to work intent on proving myself some more, but whose to say he would feel the same way as me? You never know how many opportunities you're going to get, so you gotta take advantage of them when they present themselves.

I think this brings the Bucs total of being denied an interview of a positional coach for either OC or DC to 3 times if memory serves correctly with another straight up rejection by a candidate to boot.
