The Facts:
To combat head coaches who keep coordinators off limits to the media, the league a few years ago required coordinators be made available every other week during the season. So coaches would give up the offensive coordinator one week and the defensive coordinator the next. Throw in the newly created special teams coordinator position, and it meant we wouldn't hear from the same coach for three weeks. This year, a revision to the rules calls for every coordinator to be made available every week for a minimum of 10 minutes.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As Plain Dealer staffer Tony Grossi suggested, it's another small advancement made by commissioner Roger Goodell in the area of media access in a league that's becoming increasingly secretive. ... Still, at the risk of sounding cynical, we'll believe increased access will mean greater information when we see it. It's one thing to talk to the media. It's another thing to offer meaningful info.
