Wasn't as much directly related to the interview as I expected, given the headline. AB provided some insight into the Mike Sherman and Mike McCarthy hirings while he was in GB.

I found his comments on using a search firm interesting:

The value of search firms in this process can be debated but, well, I just don’t see it. NFL owners are paying these firms handsomely, with fees ranging as high as 33% of the coach’s first-year salary, to essentially identify candidates who can be identified relatively easily, and to ask questions that they themselves can—and do—figure out to ask.

His underlying conclusion appears to be that owners use it to answer to fans, etc that they've taken the extra step and an outside-the-organization group to blame if things don't work out.

It makes me laugh when professional franchises hire a search firm. The pool of talent is relatively small. The organizations already know most of the potential candidates so much better than the outside firm does.
