There's a 3rd option

He could be purposely trying to whip everyone into a frenzy to prove a point to the PTB who think joining a conference is a good idea. The guy kept an airtight lock on the coaching search, so if he's saying something now there's got to be some motivation for it. If he was in active negotiations to join a conference I doubt he'd say anything.
