I believe the rule does apply regardless. At my workplace, if my boss offers me a promotion, they actually have to come up with a title (ie I'd get promoted from software specialist to senior software specialist) and they have to advertise for it and interview x number of candidates. It's probably the same thing. The only thing I wonder about is if Gibbs had stepped down midseason and Gregg Williams had taken over as coach, would there have been an interview process at the end of the season to make everything "legal"?
