Tasmania has locked in the panel who will determine the inaugural coach of the club.
The group of four key figures include Brendon Gale (chief executive), Grant O'Brien (Chair), Alastair Lynch (Director) and Lauren Jauncey (general manager of strategy, people and culture).
The Devils are set to begin their first round of interviews, with many available names, including experienced campaigners, flagged for the role.
The club is understood to want to lock in a senior coach by the end of July.
Nathan Buckley has long been linked to being Tasmania's first coach, and his return to the caper at Geelong as an assistant under Chris Scott has indicated his desire to return to the hot seat.
Buckley has declared his want to take on the Devils job, saying openly he'd take it if the role was offered.
Former Port Adelaide coach Ken Hinkley, who is enjoying his first year away from clubland since before he began playing at Fitzroy, is another strong candidate.
Hinkley has held conversations with Tasmania bosses and Gale in recent weeks, and hasn't ruled out a return to coaching.
He and Lynch spent two seasons together at Fitzroy in the 1980s.
"I've had chats with Brendon, but let's explain why I've had chats. I'm one of the few coaches who has actually spent three years at a start-up club and seen the ups and downs and what can happen if a start-up club get it wrong," he said on SEN last month.
"The second part about that is they are leaning into what experience I can help them with. I think that's worthwhile.
"I've spoken to them because I am excited about the new teams coming into the comp, I don't have any problem with that, but I'm not committed to doing any coaching jobs anyway at the moment.
"This is the answer I give to everyone: I don't know anything else other than being a footy coach.
"I'm now six months into doing a different role which I am really enjoying and love the connection I'm building with everyone here plus with everyone at Fox.
"If you ask me, ‘do you think you're a coach', yeah, I think I'm still a coach in some way, but at some point, we all move on to another life and another opportunity.
"My conversations with Tassie have been around different roles altogether than the coaching role."
Former Sydney coach is another option for the Devils, although he's being sounded out by Essendon and Carlton as they search for a new coach.
