Why would they allow him to interview for a same position with another team while he’s under contract? It’s different if it was for a higher up position
what exactly does that mean? Why would the Bills do this? What are the repercussions?
OC and DC coach positions are no longer considered an upward move from any other position coach. So teams can refuse to allow their position coaches to interview with other clubs for "coordinator" positions, if they so choose.

At least that's what I read here recently...
He’s already the OC with the Bills. Not a position coach.
He did interview for the head coaching position with the Browns Â
If an inquiring club wishes to discuss an assistant coaching position with an assistant coach who is under contract to another club at any time
prior to the opening of the employer club’s training camp, it will be considered a
lateral move, and the employer club is under no obligation to grant the assistant
coach permission to discuss the position with the interested club. At the
discretion of the employer club, however, such permission may be voluntarily
granted.
Their taking Graham away from the Dolphins for a lateral position. I don't think I've seen this before (unless somehow they had inside info that he was getting canned)
And that is called meddling. I don't think the Commish looks at that very kindly.
He’s already the OC with the Bills. Not a position coach.
It wouldn't matter either way. Only head coach is considered a promotion.
p.s.--No surprise that the Bills denied permission. The question is why did the Dolphins allow Graham to interview and leave? It wasn't because he was given the title Asst Head Coach. For whatever reason, Flores did not consider Graham a good fit with the Dolphins. Maybe he preferred the LB coach that he promoted to DC. Maybe he wanted to take over defensive playcalling and didn't want Graham to suffer the demotion in responsibilities. Whatever Flores's reasoning for allowing Graham to leave, clearly it wasn't an issue that concerned Judge.

What's called meddling? They asked permission of both the Dolphins and Bills. The Dolphins granted permission, the Bills did not. That's called proper protocol.
If you ask permission to interview a staffer under contract for upgraded position is the team allowed to block that interview? Can they only block you if it’s a lateral move?

No. They can't block them if it's promotion. Which is only HC. All position coaches and coordinators are grouped together. So if the Giants requested an interview with a RB coach for their OC position the other team could deny permission because the NFL considers it a lateral move.

With Graham I suspect that the Dolphins knew about the assistant hc title and allowed the interview as a professional courtesy to Graham even if it would have been within their rights to block it. This does happen.
Not sure why we are collectively befuddled over that one.

The title of assistant HC doesn't mean anything in the NFL. Also it's a cutthroat business. There is no way the Dolphins would allow Graham to interview if they thought he was the best DC they could wish to have. That is just simply not how it works. No matter how friendly Judge and Flores are with each other, Flores' job is on the line and if he thought he would have a better chance at keeping his job with Graham he wouldn't have allowed the Giants to poach him.

This from The Athletic this morning:
To clarify a common misconception: NFL teams must grant interview requests for their assistants for head coaching jobs. But there is no requirement for teams to allow assistants to interview for other assistant jobs, even if the move would be considered a promotion. So a position coach and a coordinator are considered equal by the league in this context.
1. You never know, Buffalo might unexpectedly agree.
2. Down the road, Daboll will know that he might get a job with Judge, whenever that might be. That can't hurt Daboll or the Giants.
3. The guy that the Giants actually interview for the job will know that he was not the Giants' first choice. That will change the dynamics of their interview. A) It may make it seem like the Giants might refuse to pay the guy top dollar because he's not their first choice, or B) It might make it seem like the Giants are desperate and ARE willing to pay top dollar.

Are you ever serious?
Just doing a cursory look of coaching moves, there have been multiple - and usually more than 3 lateral moves by assistants or position coaches every year going back to 2013 (which was probably a waste of the 3 minutes doing that exercise in the first place).
They have in their contracts. Flores was a defensive coach no? His DC could easily have had a clause permitting him to interview where he would have play calling autonomy or whatever.
what exactly does that mean? Why would the Bills do this? What are the repercussions?
OC and DC coach positions are no longer considered an upward move from any other position coach. So teams can refuse to allow their position coaches to interview with other clubs for "coordinator" positions, if they so choose.
At least that's what I read here recently...
That's absolutely correct, although doesn't really even apply here because Daboll is already the Bills OC.
I like the fact that Judge is willing to reach out to guys in lateral positions. It's more of a longshot to pursue them, but it shows that he doesn't feel like he has to limit his own search strictly to those below the position or currently out of work.

This is my concern with the Graham hiring.... why would Flores let him go? He’s not obliged to do so, legally or ethically.
It may simply be a case of Flores & Graham not seeing eye to eye or not getting along, which would be fine, it happens. I just hope Flores didn’t think Graham was up to the job. Teams don’t typically let good guys go unless they have to.
How many coordinators survive that? Especially young ones
Obviously, Judge thinks he is better than his record but the NFL is a results business and no young coordinator whose unit finished last is going to be a hot commodity

If an employee considers it a promotion and you deny them... You're gonna stop me from taking a job that I consider a promotion that will pay me more money a place that I would really rather be.... You're gonna keep me here? Can't imagine that person sleeps at work for you anymore.
If a coach is under contact, a team can block an interview. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.
Well, that's not very basic at all. Why would a team allow ANY coach to be interviewed? Doesn't that show the employer doesn't really care about the employee if they are will to expose themselves to losing said employee?

Kind of negates the purpose of the contract, no?
Upward, I understand. Lateral, makes no sense.
The business deals with people. Sometimes they're inconsistent. Sometimes they want something their current job isn't offering, or they stop being the best fit for the situation. If the employer blocks everybody, they might get stuck with the reputation of not caring about their employees.
In the case of Graham, the Dolphins have a defensive assistant who is apparently highly regarded. Presumably, it's an opportunity to move that guy up the chain.
On the flip side, back in 2009 the Giants blocked Giunta from interviewing for a defensive coordinator position because they had already lost Spagnuolo and wanted to maintain some consistency on the defensive side of the ball.
There are a lot of factors, both practical and human, when it comes to this stuff. There's no one formula that teams follow.
The promotion part is the relevant part. It's the reason he wasn't allowed to interview because it isn't a promotion. That was the entire point of my post.

We were told Judge hire makes sense if surrounds himself some adept OC, DC. Instead Judge follows path that doomed other Patriot prodegies hiring groupies instead winning coaches. We don't care if you work in building till 4am we want winning football. How the heck let Garrett who coached against NFC 10 years with success luvs Giants
and Callahan great coach as OC line leave the building???? Are we really going into 2020 with worst DC statistically at Miami and Freddie Kitchin OC worst offense just because buddies of Judge. Mara Gettleman step in tell the pup to hire Garrett jumping jacks good diet and working out all day not going win games but accomplished coaches will.

I get this, but then why keep an employee who isn't a good fit? That's what I don't understand.
In the real world, most people don't tell their employer they are actively looking for another job. They simply procure employment elsewhere and put in their two weeks.
It would create a pretty odd rift if I told my boss that I'm actively looking for another job but can't find anything.

I'll take a reading comprehension course when you learn how to use the reply function - deal?
The way you worded it made it sound - much like many confused fans seem to believe - that if it was a promotion for Daboll (if, for example, he was a QB coach instead of an OC already), that he'd have been allowed to interview. That's simply not the case. He could be blocked for anything other than a HC position even if he was the assistant quality control coach. That was simply the clarification that I was adding to your post, because you didn't bother to actually explain what you were saying, as usual.
Doubt there are any repercussions. Buffalo didn't want to lose Daboll as their OC. It was their prerogative to block the interview, and so they did.
OC and DC coach positions are no longer considered an upward move from any other position coach. So teams can refuse to allow their position coaches to interview with other clubs for "coordinator" positions, if they so choose.

The coach, in this case Daboll, was under contract with the Bills. So the team has the right to refuse.

OC, DC, QB/RB/WR/TE/OL Coach, DL/LB/DB coach, assistant HC etc etc = lateral move.

Holy shit.
Daboll did good enough work there with Josh Allen to earn HC interviews. He would have been a a good get for OC.
That said, it was worth a shot but I'm sure the Giants knew the Bills were going to tell them to go pound sand.
Ha, this one got me. Go watch the first drive of the Bills-Texans game and get back to me.
