They still have to go through the motions of giving interviews for the Rooney Rule but I think they have their man already.

I don't know if that is Shanahan or Cowher or what but there is an awful lot of smoke around the Rat rumors.
Rooney Rule is what I was thinking every time I saw the ESPN crawl that the Rat was about to be the new HC.

How could they can Herm and be negotiating with the Rat when a minority was not interviewed?

Pioli is bringing his smoke and mirrors.
