@Blackrain “they shouldn't be allowed to interview coordinators while they're teams are competing in the playoffs”
That would be a really bad idea. If you knew you were the leading candidate in 2-3 head coaching opportunities, and they’d be filled if your team made it very far in the playoffs, you would then have to seriously consider resigning from your coordinator position before the playoffs start. That would only hurt the current team even more. College coaches do that all the time, it would become the same scenario. Vast majority of coordinators see their job simply as a stepping stone to being a HC.
You have to consider the pay discrepancy as well. If you were offered a job that QUADRUPLED your salary, but the conditions are you had to quit that day, would you say, “No, my company loyalty is too strong?” No one would, it would be unreasonable to ask that of someone.
The whole purpose of allowing interviews for teams still playing is to not close the door on candidates who are currently detained
