The NFL announced changes to the interview process for head coaching candidates on Tuesday.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that starting Wednesday, NFL teams can request and conduct interviews with candidates currently employed by other clubs. Teams, however, have the capability to deny requests.
Per Pelissero, the new rule allows for virtual interviews for up to two hours during the regular season. There are also restrictions for other coaching positions.
In addition, the league also sent each team reminders on new requirements of the Rooney Rule that includes interviewing two external minority candidates for head coaching jobs and one for coordinator and general manager jobs.
