Personally, I'm glad he's gone now, as it was inevitable.
The Chiefs don't need this distraction every year, especially this late into the season, when they're preparing for The Combine and setting up their draft boards. [Reply]

I'm wondering if he will take a scout or two from us and promote them on his staff. I also wonder who is going to replace Ballard on our staff [Reply]

Teams shouldn't be able to be aloud to ask for permission to speak to coaches that are still in the playoffs.

They should get draft picks taken away.
Teams are allowed to speak to coaches if there's a Bye Week or after teams have been eliminated. For example, the 49ers interviewed Kyle Shanahan during the Falcons Bye but hasn't been allowed to speak to them since, but he's expected to be the new head coach after the Super Bowl.
It would be a disaster to make teams wait until the last week of January to scramble to interview coaches because The Combines are just a few weeks away and teams need time to plan ahead, especially when there's a new offensive and defensive philosophy (not to mention, getting on board with the new owner, GM, etc.).
