Dcat Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I think this is one of the best changes made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I like it. I'm sure it's a part of their bigger effort to give minority candidates more opportunities, too. Doesn't feel like, "the first time," though. I'm pretty sure it used to be that coaches could interview for any job that represented a promotion (which led to a lot of "assistant head coach" titles out there, lol).

Popular Post Warfish Posted May 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2020 Folks tend to like stuff like this, till it happens to them. Can you imagine a Jets run where we are sitting before the Super Bowl......and half the staff is interviewing instead of preparing for the big game? A better rule, IMO, would be to ban/bar ALL post-season Coaching hires until after the Super Bowl is completed. That way every coach gets an even playing field starting the new league year, and every team gets equal and fair access to the same field of potential coaches. Works for players and Free Agency, why wouldn't a similar system work for Coaches? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry McCockinner Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 It's not clear to me exactly what this means. When it refers to "assistant" coaches is that specifically referring to coaches with "assistant" in the title? So people still can't interview your offensive coordinator for their offensive coordinator position, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those hires are made in early January. Putting it off until after the Super Bowl means that these bad teams (presumably, if they have a head coach opening) are now at an additional disadvantage of having one less month to prepare for the off-season. With two weeks between the Championship Games and the Super Bowl, they can limit interviews to a couple days in that first week. That's not going to be too much of a drag on preparation. 22 minutes ago, Barry McCockinner said: It's not clear to me exactly what this means.

pdxgreen Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 This will just make it that much easier for the Pats to plant their coaches in other organizations and destroy them. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenbloodblitz Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I always thought that teams can block lateral coaching moves. But they can't block an interview that would be a promotion? Correct me if I'm wrong. Just to give an example if your a tight ends coach you can't just leave your contract with the team and go become another team's tight end Coach. But if they offer you an offensive coordinator position that can't be blocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An even playing field for all teams isn't a disadvantage. Quote With two weeks between the Championship Games and the Super Bowl, they can limit interviews to a couple days in that first week.

Half the bowl games re getting coached by some assistant these days. No hires till the season is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy solution.... tell them they are free to interview while we are preparing for the SuperBowl, but if they do, they’re fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that help matters? It's too late to hire any replacement coaches at that point. So you're still shorthanded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
