Bill Belichick is the greatest head coach of all time and he never says shit.

I think if anything, teams should take New England's lead on this and just stop answering questions that the media asks. So, I agree with you 100%. Maybe this is just a move to shut the media out and keep everything in house - like it should be. Heck, back in the 80's, we didn't know anything that went on in the offseason unless it was something like a player holding out for more money. I realize the rules were different back then, but there was never any news about Joe Gibbs or any of his coaching staff before hand. You didn't know if anybody had any cross words with each other. We all assumed the coaching staff was a united front (which they probably were but we wouldn't have known anything different.)
As matter of fact, it wasn't until years later when we eventually found out that Jack Kent Cooke was about to can Joe Gibbs in his first season before being talked off the ledge. I just believe, sometimes, access to too much information is a bad thing. With ol' hoodie, he never gives you a direct answer. If he doesn't like the question, he simply doesn't answer. Even if he likes the question, he still never answers it directly. Like you said, he doesn't say shit.
