I Don't Think Many People Want Our OC Position

BreesusSaves said

Two of the people the Saints have interviewed, Kubiak and Griese, are both unable to be hired because the team they currently work for is going to the Super Bowl.

So far the only OC hire that has actually bummed me out is Zac Robinson. He has a lot of potential and is going to the division rival.

They're interviewing Brian Johnson today. If nothing happens today/this week, I'd assume the Saints are waiting until after the Super Bowl.

Is it a rule that you can't hire an assistant from a team in the playoffs until they are out? I thought the rule for SB assistants was you could hire in the first week after the Championship games but not during Super Bowl week? But, maybe that changed recently?

If you really can't hire until after the Super Bowl, that is a really sheetty rule for those coaches. By then most positions are going to be filled unless a team is willing to really risk it and/or already have a nod and a wink deal in place.
