The report is that owners would allow teams to hire coaches DURING the playoffs instead of waiting for after a team is done in the playoffs. Which in my opinion does not solve the McDaniels problem. McDaniels agreed to become the Colts new Head Coach and backed out. So even if you allow teams to hire during the playoffs, it still doesn't stop a coach from backing out at the last second.
What the Owners need to do is say no coaches can be interviewed, or hired until the week after the Super Bowl. That way playoff teams won't be effected by coaches whose heads are already elsewhere and conflicts with the game planning for the playoffs or the Super Bowl.
