Just sayin...

it should, but doesn't

they have a "incumbents don't count" clause in the rule

Pioli should interview Herm for the head coach position just to show how worthless this "tick the box" rule is...

It's not a problem taking the time to interview them, but nobody wants to be seen as just fulfilling the requirements of the rule.

When it first came out the Lions got in trouble because no minorities would interview knowing they were looking at Mariuchi (sp).

We have a ****ing black president and we need the god damned Rooney rule? Seriously, enough is enough....

Move forward but live in the past. Gotta love it. heh

The rule was antiquated as soon as it was written.

Seriously, if an owner passes up a better more qualified coach because of color, he deserves to lose. Bad buisness is all it is. In America you should be able to interview or hire whoever you want for your buisness.

I look forward to the day that they start requiring teams to have white cornerbacks. You know, for fairness.

Does the Rooney rule apply to a fired black to be replaced with a clearly more qualified white guy in shanahan?

Somewhat, if all the presidents up to Obama were as black as stuck matches and he was the president everyone would be saying he is white.

Well then Chiefs Planet needs to update it's search engine. I typed "Rooney Rule" in the search engine and all I got was the latests posts about Shanahan, Herm, etc. I never try to repost, and I don't spend 24 hours per day on this board. Sorry if repost.
