The days of NFL organizations hiring head coaches during the playoffs may be numbered, according to a report Monday by The Athletic's Mike Sando.
After Tony Dungy advocated for a rule to prevent teams from hiring coaches until after the Super Bowl three years ago, the league may finally be ready to get it done for the 2024 hiring cycle, according to one NFL executive.
Dungy wanted the rule so that coaches in the playoffs could better focus on preparing for game action. He also believed it could help create a more inclusive process.
While it may take another year for the change to officially occur, the league has slowly been moving in that direction.
