No inside info with respect to this theory, so take it for what it's worth -- but this is my best guess about what's transpired over the last 24 hours.
My guess is that EB previously has told Embree that he was willing to serve as his OC. However, since it's become clear over the past 24 hours that there are only 2 viable head coaching options (Embo and EB), perhaps he realized that Embo's HC candidacy isn't strong enough without EB as OC for Embo to be named HC. Therefore, perhaps EB has leaked to the press that he won't be willing to serve as OC for Embo, therefore forcing Bohn's hand into hiring EB for the head job.
