It is NEVER phrased as still being under contract when a guy gets fired. Never. Sure, everyone understand when a coach gets fired that he is still due the rest of the money owed to him. If he gets hired by another team then there is offset language. I just have never seen it reported this way that a team needed permission to speak with a fired coach. Like I said we just saw this with Belichick. Nobody was reporting that teams needed permission to interview him.
Whatever. Believe what you want. Or don't.
