so Worthy didn't say anything about throwing his hat into rings in post match interviews?

despite it coming in the wake of relegation all Gunny did was say that he wanted the job full-time, which is pretty much standard speak for cartaker managers that want to carry on managing, both those that get the gig full-time and those that don't.

there was nothing special or suprising about that.
