Roughly a month ago, Elliotte Friedman reported he was granted permission to speak with other teams:
Carolina assistant Dean Chynoweth given permission by team to examine other opportunities. Obviously, a lot of interest in the Hurricanes’ coaching situation — he’s the only member of the staff at this time with permission to look elsewhere. We should have more clarity next week

In Carolina, he oversaw their defense and penalty kill. The Hurricanes defense ranked in the top 10 in each of his three seasons on the job – finishing third and fourth overall, respectively, in the past two seasons.
