Times set for coach, GM availability at Combine

The NFL released the tentative schedule of Combine availability for coaches and personnel men. Thursday and Friday are going to be marathons with all but two people scheduled to meet the media.

NFL types will answer questions for about 15 minutes. Some go shorter, some go longer. The media throng will will maneuver to get their extremely important question in. The past few years, New York Jets coach Rex Ryan has been the most popular coach and the Harbuaghs get a sizable crowd.

The most interesting coach media session will likely be Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly at 2:30 p.m. on Thursday. The crowd for the Colts' Chuck Pagano will be sizable as well. New Chicago Bears head coach Marc Trestman will kick things off Thursday at 10 a.m. Think he'll get any questions about transitioning back to the NFL from the CFL? Among the personnel men, Ted Thompson of the Green Bay Packers is a great listen.

There are some teams that currently don't have someone scheduled to speak – that includes the Redskins, Saints and Patriots.
