I wouldn't call him a hypocrite. Tampering with people under contract is unethical, but it does not result in a competitive advantage on the field. Draft picks are now standard tax in dealing with a coach under contract (same level position - no penalty if it results in promotion).

One of the things I find funny is the fact that he wasn't that critical early in the season right when it happened. I can't remember the exact quote, but paraphrased he essentially said that was common practice. Now that some of his legacy is being threatened, he's singing a different tune. He's such a phony.
