Many NFL head coaches are expected to attend the Scouting Combine, but a growing number are choosing to skip the event. Packers coach Matt LaFleur is among those who will not be attending this week’s event in Indianapolis. He is joined by Rams coach Sean McVay, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy, Jets coach Robert Saleh, and potentially 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, who has not yet confirmed his attendance.
One head coach expressed the belief that the Combine is valuable for coaches, unlike the league meetings in late March, which he described as a “waste of time” and “propaganda.” However, the argument against attending the Combine is that the workouts are recorded and head coaches can conduct prospect interviews virtually. On the other hand, some coaches feel it is important to see and interact with the prospects in person.
By choosing not to attend the Combine, head coaches are sending a message that they understand the physical and mental challenges that prospects face during the event. The Combine is often described as a “job interview,” where prospects are scrutinized and tested in various ways.
