This is another snippet from Brad Biggs Q&A column that just came out. I found it interesting, FWIW:

What do Ryan Pace and the coaching staff do during these playoff weeks? Are they still hiring coaches or staff? — @wiesnoski
Matt Nagy is working to complete his staff and the next step, especially for the new coaches, is to completely review the 2017 season. The new coaches need to have a thorough understanding of what they are inheriting so they can then contribute in meetings where the team will hatch a plan for free agency and after that a plan for the draft. That’s a time consuming process. Coaches that remain from last season will be completing their assessments of their players as they prepare for meetings that will chart the course of the offseason. Pace said something that made a lot of sense when Nagy was introduced and that is that it will be nice to have a fresh voice and opinion about the roster. What’s good? What’s not good? What works? What doesn’t work? It’s not just Nagy’s voice that will be new. All of the new coaches will have input in the process and this is significant because the most difficult process any team has is evaluating its own roster. Former general manager Jerry Angelo used to drive that point home and it’s very true. It’s easy to look at another team and determine what the weaknesses are. It’s more difficult to self-scout and be completely honest.
