Redskins coaching search: First-round NFL playoff results will determine status of several candidates
Under league rules, assistants on teams that win first-round playoff games this weekend can be interviewed for head coaching jobs next week. Such interviews must take place in the city in which the assistant works and the assistant’s current team has input as to when the interview takes place. Those assistants are not eligible to be interviewed a second time by the same team until their current team is eliminated from the playoffs or until a second-interview window opens later in the postseason. They cannot be hired by a team for a head coaching job with their current team still in the playoffs.
