HC/GM/Position Coach tracker

Nah Pete. Your proposed rule would put teams searching for new coaches at an extreme disadvantage. Assuming that they weren't interested in someone involved in the playoffs. Say the Browns really want Saleh. They're probably going to have to wait until after the Super Bowl to hire him. The combine is just three weeks after. Not a lot of time to get organized.
Combine prep is more the purview of GMs and Scouts than HCs and their staff.
That said... teams who did not make the playoffs should get get the jump on HC and staff selection... same as they get earlier picks in the Draft.
...not a MAJOR rush, but you'd want to hire coordinators and assistants before all of the good ones are snatched away from you.
We're blessed to have so few HC openings this go 'round, but even in normal times the weight of getting the HC right is so much greater than having a deeper staff pool. And that pool is huge when you look in the college ranks as well as NFL retreads.
Most of the candidates know the key staffers they'd want... and have likely chatted with them about "hypothetical opportunities". Hell... they are asked about what their staffs might look like in the interview process.
Then add that staff turnover of those that weren't ready for prime time is not uncommon... especially at the position coach level... and there's always time for course correction.

i agree totally right here^^ maybe Haslam does trust Elliott Wolfe more than i thought? Wolfe is now a assistant GM to no one. Well rounded to be our draft/pro personal guy to bang heads with scouts than Gm's.. Alonzo Highsmith? not sure where this guy goes or is even still around? My guess Highsmith had big ties to Chad Thomas & Redwine being on the roster..The U is Highsmith's alum

but we don't have a GM yet Tour- at least one with the title. They had better keep Wolf around for that purpose, at least until after the draft. And the new HC had better be on board with whatever the scouting staff has in their reports.. The combine is at least 6 weeks away- but the grunts have been doing groundwork for months....

Why? I'd be shocked if the average Coordinator or position coach had any more of a well-founded notion as to who they'd want to draft at a given position than you or I. These guys have FULL time jobs, h... up to 80 hours a week full. I doubt they watch more than a single College game a week... and then likely their alma mater's.
GM... schme-em... We have plenty of organized scouting (see below) plus a dozen or so assistant scouts...

Why didnt Kubiak get an interview? Is he not interested in a head coaching position because he is obviously the best coach out there.
With that said Schwartz is easily my 2nd favorite candidate. I really dont care for the list of guys we brought in for interviews

How many times just this past season did the Browns defense give up 30 points? Let me check...... I see that it was 6 times....including each of the last 3 games.

Until some years ago... It was. Now I think my English is better than my Basque.
Your English is good. Don’t let anyone tell you different. It’s a living language that changes like any other living language. Understanding is all that matters.
Off topic alert, but one of the most interesting classes l ever took at school was the history of the English language.
Way back when, like BC, England was run by the Celts. Then the Romans came and kicked their asses and took over. Then the Germanic tribes came and kicked the Romans’ asses and took over. Then the French Normans came over and kicked asses snd took over. And then the Anglo Saxons kicked their asses and took over.
I might have the order mixed up, and may have left some conquests out, but basically England was occupied by people of varying cultural backgrounds for hundred plus year stretches at a time within the last 2000 years, and modern day English has become a bastardization of Latin, German, French and Greek, plus over 1000 years of tweaking since then.
Once you conquer a country, there’s nothing left to do other that live and breed, so intermingling of people and languages happens.
That’s why the smart kids in the spelling bee ask the origin of the word. Because it matters in spelling and pronunciation.
Whereas Spanish is basically a direct descendent of Latin. Easier to learn. Vowels for the most part consistently sound the same way.
Also, l like Saleh. He’s my dude. Team Saleh!

Uhh, you got that mixed up some. The Celts never "ran" England.....Celts are the Scots and Irish. The people there pre Rome were "Britons", not Celts. Today the Britons, essentially are the Welsh . After the Romans left Britain (I would not say their asses were kicked...they just left when Rome was deteriorating) , it was the Anglo-Saxons that invaded Britain (they were the Germanic tribes you speak of). Then actually came the Danes/Norse who came close to conquering all of Britain (the 4 kingdoms: Wessex/Northumbria/East Anglia/Mercia). They had the entirety of those kingdoms except for some swampland in Somerset...when King Alfred fought back...and his heirs took over and eventually England was form circa mid 900s. Then in 1066 the Normans made their conquest. But while the Normans did prevail....ultimately they became assimilated to the "English" ways. There has been no "conquest" of Britain since 1066. (political/military...though American culture had made a conquest to a great extent....in the 20th century)

You got the order mixed up, see above, but I think you are pretty spot on regarding the language.

Yes! King Alfred! I was trying to think of his name but forgot. But yes, once he took his stand and took England back over is when the conquering of England ceased.
You may be mistaken about the Celts running England in BC though. I remember distinctly in the class that whoever took England from the Celts (I think it was the Romans) kicked their ass SO bad that they all fled to Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. There was little intermingling of cultures afterwards.
It was a fun fact that within modern day English there are fewer than a dozen words of Celtic origin.

I agree Nero's English is better than a lot of guys who have it as their native language. I don't know if they do it anymore, but wow- has English evolved over the last 1,000+ years. I hated Shakespeare's plays because the language was already weird. LOL, alarums = alarms. Go back to Chaucer's Canterbury tales and its barely recognizable. Farther back to Old English Beowulf- Our HS English teacher taught himself to speak it, and its' essentially a foreign language, totally unintelligible. .
True on Spanish being a descendant of Latin. Had to take a year of Latin in HS- and hated it. Spanish was totally different, I took it all four years in HS, and another year in college- I was one course short of a minor in it. Ha our senior assignment was reading Don Quijote and Lazarillo deTormes in the original 16th century Spanish- like equal to Shakespearean English. But if you don't use it, you lose it. My listening (you're talking too fast) and speaking (now what's that word?) are pretty well shot, but I can still hack my way reading through a newspaper in Spanish...
