It would be against the spirit of the rule, even if they did not interview a candidate for the opening this time. Would anyone throw a fit if they went from Edwards to Cowher without taking a serious look at Crennel?!? Seriously? Common sense surely must come into play, here.
Plus, the rule is NOT a law...so they don't have to do follow this at all. They will be fined, per their agreement to be a part of the NFL and its rules, but that's all. People need to stop worrying about this. I'm sure the Chiefs and the NFL have this covered.

The Steelers had to comply with the Rooney rule, and um... well, the rule was named for Mr. Rooney who pushed it through. So, yeah, the league would be upset if the Chiefs didn't attempt to interview a minority head coach.
Now, they would lose draft picks and get fined if they don't comply, not just get fined. |
Have the Chiefs filled the Rooney rule requirement?
