New interview timing

[Martin]

So everyone has been talking about the new early interview timing for coaches. It is still early, but have we heard of any team taking advantage of it? I wonder if it is not that big of a deal and teams like the Bears (and pray it is true for Panthers as well) prefer to play out the season and just wait the extra two weeks and then start with interviews.

Even the teams firing coaches (Jags) haven’t started interviewing yet.

I’m clinging on to some desperate hope that Rhule will get let go after our final game.

I mentioned in another thread about 2 weeks ago that I dont think teams are really going to exercise this in 2021. There really isnt a true advantage, since most teams will want to interview existing OC/DCs etc.. and the teams would have to permit the coach to have the interview. Playoff contenders will not want distractions.

So for teams firing coaches today, they will just create a circus atmosphere.

Read somewhere the Jags are looking at Pederson, Leftwich and Caldwell.
