Message: [QUOTE="Stern, post: 860936, member: 527"] Yep. After the Jon Gruden Oakland to Tampa fiasco. Can't take a coach from another team. Even if you want to trade draft picks for him, buy out his deal...anything. Those days are over There are even rules now that prevent teams from letting assistants interview for jobs on other teams even if the job is an upgrade. Cincy blocked Kevin Coyle for many years from interviewing for defensive coordinator positions when he was only the secondary coach in Cincy. They finally gave in a couple years ago and let him go to Miami to be there defensive coordinator. Most teams aren't like that, if the job is an upgrade they will let the guy interview and take the job ...but the team doesn't have too if the coach is under contract. [/QUOTE]
