Since When Did First Time HCs Have a Say in Finding a GM Become a Trend?

Maybe I am wrong on this, but its seems first time HC candidates are starting to be way more selective. Feels like Ben Johnson has been a top HC pick for the last 3 seasons. BJ made not end up being a good HC, but it feels like waiting for the Bears job will likely give him a better chance at success.

In Coen's case, he can take a job working for a GM that is regularly referred to as one of the worst in the NFL or he can stay in Tampa and become the highest paid OC in the league. This put's the Jag's in a spot where if they really want Coen bad enough they have to fire there GM.
