shadowdrinker, maybe I should explain why neither of these guys got jobs last year and why the rule was changed. theye were both allowed to interiew in the first week of the playoffs cause they had a bye, and during the wild card round. The Superbowl was in February and free agency started the beginning of March with the draft in April. No team is their season was over and they were out of the playoffs wants to wait until after the Superbowl in Feb. to negotiate a contract with a coach who may or may not agree with what they want to pay them after only one interview. SO teams hired coaches who were available and Weiss and Crennel went on to win the superbowl with no head coaching vacancies left. The league this year has extened the interview process during the playoffs an extra week into the divisional round so this will nto happen again and everyone has a full chance to get an opportunity.

So long story short they did not get jobs last year cause their team won the superbowl and it would be idiotic for a team to try and continue the hiring process of a new coach only two weeks or so before free agency. How would a coach get to fully evaluate a team\'s needs? Hope this explains it for you.
