NFL Institutes Official Rule For Sideline Interviews In 2024

The NFL has instituted an official rule for in-game sideline interviews in 2024. NFL head coaches will now be required to do one in-game interview with a sideline reporter. It previously wasn't officially required. NFL V.P. of broadcast rights, policies, and compliance Cathy Yancy announced the change during the "Sunday Ticket" trial...

quote:
“This year, we have a new policy going into effect where all of the clubs are going to have to make a head coach available live for an interview during the game,” Yancy said during the trial, transcribed by Florio. “Each team has to provide a head coach; one in the first half, one in the second half. And that’s for all teams, and it’s available for all TV partners.”

“Because it’s good for the broadcast, it’s good for the fans,” said Yancy. “Fans want to be closer to the game, they want to get to know the players and the coaches. It’s very important that they kind of have that relationship, and they want to hear. It’s really good sound. If you’re a football fan or even if you’re a casual fan, it’s great to hear from the coaches. There’s a lot of emotion.”

Yawn...coaches probably take a fine instead of dicking around sideline reporters.

Is 1 of the required questions: if you were a potato chip, what flavor would you be?

Too bad Belichick is not coaching this year. His interviews would be epic.

Great! Now we can listen to more female reporters on the sidelines asking stupid, irrelevant questions to the coaches about their personal lives and the players personal lives. No one gives a shite about any of that stuff except for women who are only watching because their husbands are watching it. It’s a waste of time.

Like the coach doesn't have enough to think about during a game... GALACTICALLY STUPID

No we don't

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever seen the NFL do. Hint: the massive popularity achieved to-date never involved mandatory, in-game coach interviews.
