warfelg Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Hunt and Khan have already interviewed. If they interviewed those two and are still conducting outside interviews that’s not good for those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armsteeld Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Well this is good for Coach Tomlin as he gets to have Colbert give him the players he wants. Doesn't have to barter with new GM over picks until 2023 draft. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 feel like Hunt is the fav here, but won't be shocked if a outside candidate knocks out the the interview and gets the job like Tomlin did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have to via the new rules governing hires don't they? They have to check the same boxes of coaching in the executive side.

I just googled it as I was coming in to post it I saw you messaged: Quote The rule has been expanded to require teams to interview at least two external minority candidates for general manager/executive of football operations positions, and all coordinator roles. Beforehand, the requirement was to interview one minority from outside a team for openings in those positions. So, technically, Khan and Hunt checked no boxes. Another portion of the rule that has effect is that teams CANNOT deny access to interviews of any of their coaches/executives unless they have been designated the future GM through the Assistant GM title in contract. So Hunt and Khan couldn't be denied by the Steelers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Something I found interesting about this, as it relates to the last time we talked GM's.... The news was announced today and they already interviewed their two internal candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wording of the rule state "who has been hired by another club". Quote (i) The employer-club of a minority employee who has been hired by another club as its Head Coach or Primary Football Executive (General Manager) shall receive Draft choice compensation in the form of a compensatory Draft pick in the third round in each of the next two Drafts for an employee hired as either a Head Coach or Primary Football Executive, or for the next three Drafts if it has two employees hired for both positions. The reference to the hiring of employees into “both positions” could be by the same club or different clubs. The following will apply to the Draft choice compensation: a. Any compensatory Draft picks awarded pursuant to this Policy will be at the end of the third round following all compensatory Draft picks awarded to clubs pursuant to Appendix V of the NFL-NFLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement. b. If multiple clubs are awarded compensatory Draft picks pursuant to this Policy, then the order of those picks at the end of the third round will follow the original selection order for that Draft established prior to any trades or other adjustments. (ii) The employer-club shall be eligible to receive this Draft choice compensation if: a. The minority employee hired as a Head Coach or Primary Football Executive has been employed by the employer-club for a minimum of two full seasons; and b. The minority employee is not the Head Coach or Primary Football Executive of the employer-club and is hired into the same position with the new club. There can be no break in employment between clubs. Would be pretty awesome if we got compensation for hiring internally though....but I don't think so. 54 minutes ago, warfelg said: Interesting. That rule is so much more messed up than I thought it was. Totally! The Steelers have two internal, minority candidates...one of which will likely get the job. But they still have to invite people to interview to check boxes. Hope they fly the dudes in for a really nice steak dinner at least. A box checking zoom would kinda suck. I was thinking about Brandon Hunt going to Vegas -- even if that was just a box check or he tells him while he is there that he is the next Steelers GM, I mean....its an all inclusive to Vegas for a night. Who says no?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who says no?! Yea. The biggest thing I hate is it makes developing someone internally to be promoted higher kinda useless. Like, they should have the highest compensation go to internal hires rather than external. That way you are encouraged to promote from within, build a good culture, and focus on developing. The way the rule is written, it encourages teams to bury good minority employees so other teams don’t get compensated and to just poach all things equal candidates from other teams. Lets just say Austin gets hired elsewhere for DC, if an internal hire (Dunbar) and external (Ravens DB coach Chris Hewitt) we’re about neck and neck, it behooves you to hire Hewitt. As much as the NFL gets things wrong they got this one REALLY wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not part of the sympathy club because she was challenged by a former NFL QB. He was a callous and damn near disrespectful but why should Mina Kimes be an NFL GM?
