During the First Take interview this week, Thibodeau essentially declined to comment on the reports stating other teams are interested in hiring him. “They’re just rumors an that’s what it is. And this time of year, everything is on hold,” he said. “Normally you would have some openings and right now there aren’t any openings. So you don’t want to speculate on what jobs could open. That’s what you have an agent for. He’ll certainly, at some point, look at if there is an opportunity, whether it be a good match or not. I’m still under contract with Minnesota so I feel like I’m in a position where I can be patient.”
