947 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 It's not even the interviews that take so much time away from Coordinators during playoff planning, prepping for the interviews probably takes 10x more of their time. These coaches need to go into the interview ready to speak on their analysis of that team and what their plan would be to improve it. That takes hours & hours of work, film study on the potential new team, etc. They can't just go in there & wing it. Unless they don't sleep that week, I don't know how they can prep for both an interview & a playoff game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessTruster Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 This is f ing America. If I want to take an interview for a job while I'm doing my current job, no one has the right to tell me I cannot. You can bet the teams are talking to all kinds of candidates from the college ranks, coaches who are not active right now, etc. I want to compete with them, so don't tell me I can't bc I'm still in my current job. Ridiculous. People are briefly distracted by job interviews all throughout their careers. This the way the real world works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An in-person interview consumes an entire day or two if your current position is on the opposite coast. Plane flight, hotel, plane flight. It’s no different from any other business trip. It’s really disruptive in a week where you have at most six days to prepare for a playoff opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
