PFT CommenterNFL teams should be allowed to use a draft pick to own the rights to a college coach
Is it possible that you could draft a coach? Could you use a draft pick on a college coach to prevent another team from hiring them to be on their roster? ... If you think that hypothetically the Los Angeles Chargers are going to hire Urban Meyer as coach next year, why wouldn't you if you're in the AFC West draft Urban Meyer and then you have his rights for at least the next year so they can't hire them?
Mike Florio calls in later to confirm this is absolutely not allowed under NFL rules as coaches must be signed to contracts, not drafted like players.
