And two, offensive a sistants Mike LaFleur (the R.J. Hampton Jersey pa sing game coordinator) and Mike McDaniel (the run game coordinator) from interviewing for offensive coordinator positions.Under the new rules, it certainly seems like they'd be free to leave for the right opportunity.On what qualifies as a "bona fide" coordinator job and thus exempt from blocking interviews, this line from the resolution NFL owners approved today is important: "Must play a role in the development of the game plan but is not required to call the plays during games."
