Fitterer got his foot in the door by trash talking David Tepper

That did take some balls :)

Breer's piece actually a load of good info about the process here. That's just one that stood out to me.

Also have to say for Tepper to talk about not wanting "redundancy of skill set" only to wind up hiring a guy whose primary traits were evaluation based tells me he must have impressed the hell out of them.

Said it before: I want to learn how to interview from this guy.

That's not even close to trash talking. That basic generic ribbing/joking.

Yeah but not many employees have the sack to take that tact with a potential employer. You get a lot of deferential behavior and BS. Some of those types want a yes man.

That is why I generally go into most interviews not caring much or viewing it as what they have to offer me, rather than what I need to do to work there.

You'd be surprised how often that is successful. And, typically, the places it isn't aren't usually places I want to work anyway.

You'll notice in the article that Fitterer was questioning Rhule about developing young players.

In every interview I've ever done it was most certainly loose and open. There has always been the opportunity to ask the interviewer questions...like where are you people interviewing at? I work at Booz Allen Hamilton as an engineer so hearing that type of poo is just basic to me. You always get to question your interviewer and tell jokes and poo.

Maybe other worse jobs are different?

Yep. He probably viewed this as, "I don't need this job, so what do they have to offer that makes we WANT this job."

I almost always do that.

This was something like his third or fourth GM interview. He reportedly came in second to Joe Douglas for the Jets job.

You could definitely say he had reason to be confident.
