They didn't earn? They are hired on merit. I'm sorry people are putting such a fuss over a team losing a few hours of their time. The idea that gms are forced to hire anybody they dot want to hire is ridiculous.

Do we really think the NFL is keeping the black coach down?

There are only 32 head coaching jobs.
There are only 32 GM jobs.

It's not going to be representative of anything because its too small of a club.

The NFL should instead celebrate that one of its best coaches is black (Tomlin).

The NFL should celebrate that on of its best general managers is black (Newsome).

And tell Tony Dungy to quit bitching and start coaching if he wants more blacks roaming the sidesline. You too Herm. That dude could be a damn good coordinator but he would rather be a celebrity.

I'm so sick of this $hit.
Who could be a good coordinator?

Herm?

Herm didn't want to be a coordinator because he doesn't know how. He's not a play caller. He's a fraud.

II agree that the Rooney rule is obsolete. And that nobody should bitch about hem being hired if they had a chance to interview. The heart other Rooney rule is good.

I remember people complaining about how Art Shell deserved a head coaching job around 20+ years ago. He was a good cordinator but not a good head coach. The end.

Maybe the NFL should just pay reparations to every black coach in America so we can stop looking backwards all the time and instead look to the future...

The problem in the NFL isn't race, its a lack of quality coaching. The disparity in football lies between the teams that can pay big bucks for a coach and those who can't. The real problem is in college football where some schools can pay coaches competitive wages with the NFL and those who can't.

The comparison I always make is... Imagine a black student ten times more qualified than you didn't get into Harvard. He gets denied by jobs because of race.

20 years later, your resume is 20 times better. And it's not because you're smarter or more qualified. That's the heart of the Rooney rule. Again I think it's out served its purpose and I hate that the NFL would mandate hirings. But the Rooney rule was a great one early on.

The only adjustment needed is to get rid of it. The Rooney Rule does a disservice to black coaches (who are 99.9% of the time interviewed just to fill a quota instead of being given a serious look) and wastes everyone's time.

I think teams should be required to bring in white wide recievers and running backs.
