I hadn't heard that. I won't dispute it directly, but I would note the following at the time from Mary Kay:
Say what you will about Mary Kay, my assumption is that she is capable of reporting an accurate quote. Therefore, my guess is that AB wanted Schobert but that he knew Schobert wanted to test his market. So the approach he took was to tell Schobert to test his market and then come back and we'll talk.
Unfortunately for AB and the Browns, Schobert got an offer that he knew AB would not be willing to match and so he never returned.
But that doesn't mean that AB didn't want Schobert and wasn't willing to compensate him appropriately. His statement that Mary Kay quoted makes that clear. But in that situation, he didn't want to make Schobert an offer which would in effect start a bidding war. Instead, he wanted to be in the position to match or counter and never got the chance.
The key sentence in the above quote was:
Looks to me like he is trying to do just that. First it was Garrett and now Hunt. My guess is that we can look for Landry to be next.
