If no team volunteers to be on HBO's Hard Knocks Goodell can appoint one himself.

Thankfully you're free if:
- you have a first year head coach
- you've made the playoffs at least once in the past 2 seasons
- you've been on it before (past 10 years)

So basically there's another incentive to making the playoffs.

And firing your coach.
