NFL owners passed a new rule on Tuesday establishing a three-hour interview limit for head-coaching candidates who are employed by teams still in the playoffs, according to the Associated Press.
Such candidates will also only be permitted to interview at a location of the choosing of their current organization if it's an in-person meeting with a prospective employer.
The NFL's senior vice president and chief diversity and inclusion officer, Jonathan Beane, said the new rule was created to put less time constraints on coaching candidates who are trying to balance interviews with their preparations for playoff games.
