Does anyone have any insight on the legal ramifications of NOT retaining Harley and hiring a new coach? I recall there being a 30 day rule/law requiring the job opening has to be posted 30 days before any hiring. Maybe a job opening was posted in Feb when Hammock resigned. IDK

RE: FIRE HARLEY
The job officially opened when Hammock's employment concluded, as you suggested. Hiring an interim to cover the role does not reset that date.

RE: FIRE HARLEY
I think everyone is looking for more reasons to be pissed. This team sucks. Harley is the interim coach. Firing him is pointless. He sucks that’s why he isn’t a real hire. This staff sucks which is why next year you will see them pumping insurance policies.
Literally the worst group of football minds anyone could have dreamed up.
