Edit: Okay! I see where that could be taken as "asking for a demotion", Matthew. Thanks! I took that as a request to simply transition out of the OC position, not asking for a demotion.

"Sources said the transition came at the request of Carmichael, who also declined an opportunity to interview for the Saints' head coaching position".

Very strange issue for sure, really makes no sense just yet. I am pretty sure we will all have a very clear understanding in the near future.
