I don't recall that situation.
I am 95% sure that a team may not deny a coach under contract from taking any HC position or a position coach from taking a Coordinator job. Below that, the team can deny a move.

I stand corrected.
Something is fishy there.
For years we have always been told that a promotion cannot be blocked. I'm not buying that staory....there is something else to that.
Either way, Harbaugh and the 49ers will not block a move. Doing so prevents good coaches from wanting to coach here in the first place.
That is the bottom line, and that is the precedent Bill Walsh set for this franchise.
Back to the original point; I don't have time to research it but I still have the feeling that a team may not block a promotion. I think this AZ story has it wrong.
