Why should it matter?
Team A wants a coach, they offer him a contract and he accepts. What is the reasoning to stop that?

I'm not sure it would have ever come up had it not involved the former HC of the team that the Pats have to play today. But still, he's a year removed from Denver so even that I question..
Then again, I wonder how much if the displeasure was because Belichick is involved in some manner..
When it comes to Belichick, who knows.

Pretty Stupid if you ask me. Next thing you know the NFL will like to tell you what type of Underwear you can wear on Sunday's. So you can get fired before the new season begins and at any time during the season, but they are going to tell an American worker when they can or can't take a job or a Company when they can offer a job? If he is unemployed then he should be able to take a job anywhere. Maybe teams will get smart and get their overpaid Lawyers to put stipulations into a contract such as working for another team during the same season. It would have a bearing on if I accepted a job to begin with. Players can go play for different teams during the year so it should be no different. JMO

Plus it being the playoffs - just seems really late in the game to be adding a coach... especially one that is only a year removed from the team you're playing.
I also was wondering why Daniels went there how affective he could be as a O-Cordinator.... I haven't read enough to know if he has the same scheme as NE had... who knows
I know there are deadlines on when you can sign a player, I wouldn't be opposed to a deadline on higher a coach.
Dunno if it'll happen...

You do know that he was the Patriots OC before he went to denver as HC right? he was with the pats for a number of years. if memory serves me correctly, he worked under charlie weis when he was the OC in NE.

Yeah I know - that's why I figured he knew the system because I'm guessing it didn't change much when he left... but he's been gone for what? 3 years? so it could have changed some... I dunno - like I said... it was more just curiosity without looking more into it

ya know, I went back and read your post and I guess I didn't read it as if you knew he was there..sorry bout that
Anyway, it's not so much his offense as it is the Patriots offense. And that means Charlie Weis...

Since belichek was busted for spying some years back he found a novel approach before the Denver playoff game. yet since they trounced the Donks just weeks before Daniels was hardly any difference maker.

Frankly, if a coach has been let go, I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be able to immediately join another team.

the broncos (donks, right?) had a completely different offense under mcdaniels. they ran the read option most of the time this season. i am sure mcdaniels was of no help, except that he used the be o-coordinator for new england before bill o brian, and o brian just left to go coach penn state.

Mostly I agree, but part of me thinks it would be good to have a rule if you are bringing in a person for the playoffs.
So to give everyone a equal chance at talking to a released coach, it probably is a good idea to not allow terminated coaches to join another team in the same season.

However, if i work for a company and they fire me, I don't have to wait till the next fiscal year, for example, to join them. Once I am fired, as long as I have no contractual clauses forbidding me from joining a competitor, then I am free to do so immediately if I, and they, choose.
I don't care if an assistant only interviews in one place. What difference does that make? It's not a mandated procedure anyway. Any coach can interview with one team, or be hired on 1st handshake for that matter.

I understand all of that and why I said I basically agree...
My feeling is if the guy is let go he gets paid his contract...which usually runs draft to draft.
Time to go.....wife is home with my dinner!
