It would be a disaster to make teams wait until the last week of January to scramble to interview coaches because The Combines are just a few weeks away and teams need time to plan ahead, especially when there's a new offensive and defensive philosophy (not to mention, getting on board with the new owner, GM, etc.).

Disagree.

Front office personnel guys work year round. Ballard has been taking notes on guys for this draft since last summer. I would imagine that a new staff would also have tons of info on a lot of prospects.

Toub's unit had by far their worst outing in the playoff game and it's not surprising considering he was a distraction by interviewing.
