I mean I'm sure he'd want any job he could have gotten after the Vancouver fiasco, there were eight openings last offseason - I doubt we would have been his first choice if he had a choice. And a lot of the other openings got filled by inexperienced guys too.
Let's put it this way
Almost HALF the teams in the league have made a coaching change in between Torts firing from Vancouver and being hired by Columbus. Also include the summer of 2014 and during the season in 2014-2015. Pittsburgh, Washington, Ottawa, Devils when we fired Pete, Toronto when they fired Carlyle. Then you had the 8 last year. Us and Toronto made 2 different coaching changes in the time he was sitting at home.
So if he had any extra motivation to beat us for passing him over, then he should have the extra motivation to beat almost half the teams in the league.
But maybe he doesn't have that motivation, since Columbus doesn't win very many games.
