YoloinOhio Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) I always thought that if a team requests to interview another team's assistant under contract for a promotion, the current team couldn't block it. Then I saw this - @adamschefter Eagles denied Jets permission to interview their QB coach John DeFilippo for offensive coordinator job, per league source. So can the Bills block ALynn from interviewing elsewhere for a HC job if, say, they decide to hire a guy like Harold Goodwin, and just keep him as OC? Edited January 5, 2017 by YoloinOhio

The rule is you cannot block assistants from interviewing for a HC job. Other promotions you can. http://archive.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-often-deny-assistants-permission-to-interview-with-other-teams-ks87jo8-185390861.html

Well I'm glad the Jets didn't get DeFelippo. He's very good.
YoloinOhio Posted January 5, 2017 Author Posted January 5, 2017 Interesting... I mean who wouldn't want to work with Sackenberg? @amytrask Note: sometimes when a team denies another permission to interview it's b/c assistant doesn't want that interview, team provides "cover."
GunnerBill Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 Position coach and coordinator are both seen as assistants. Team can't deny HC promotion.
