Yes, I know that makes no sense since AP is a minority hire but this is the NFL and Rog is in charge.
I thought the rules regarding these were:
-If you hire a minority coach you aren't required to interview anyone else.
-If you hire a non-minority you have to interview 2 minority candidates for the position. This now includeds GMs, front office positions and QB coaches.
-If another team hires away one of your coaches who is a minority you get rewarded with a 3rd round compensatory draft picks in each of the next 2 years.
-If you hire a minority head coach from another team that team gets a free draft pick in the next two years.
The pro moves are to:
1. Only hire minority coordinators, because teams will be slightly more hesitant to hire him away from you since they don't want to give you two 3rd rounders and if they do you get compensated for it.
2. Don't hire a minority head coach that is currently with another team if you can find similar talent on your own team or a non-minority on another team to prevent giving another team two 3rd rounders.
3. If you hear about a minority coach likely getting looked at for a head coaching position you hire him before he signs that deal on a 10 day contract for $1M contingent on him getting hired as a head coach on another team. This is essentially paying $1m for two 3rd round picks which is insane value - especially since it doesn't count on the salary cap.
