If Bennett takes the interim job, Bill's going to say something supportive of Phil and it's going to sound empathetic towards the Baylor staff. The tide is already turning towards "how can they keep someone from the inside who probably knew something" and referencing Phil's Sam Ukwauchu comments. Bill's going to error towards supporting his friend and it's not going to sound good.
If I remember correctly, his Paterno comments made me cringe.
