Does the Rooney rule apply if you are keep it real and fire a brother for a more qualified canidate that is white? If not paging Romeo Crennel and Leslie Frazier get here quick we need a token black dude to interview. I think the Rooney rule is a joke anyway and there shouldn't be a rule deciding who you can hire to run your company.

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.

Thanks for the inside info. What about the Raiders? They suck and have a dead beat coach but will be better than KC again.

The Raiders have a great history of failure, but this coming season may take the cake. When you publicly tell the Head Coach he will have no input into the staff...you know you have a spineless Head Coach.

Things have never been worse in Oakland. Gotta hope Al Davis lives for ever.
