The Rooney Rule
I totally agree with diversity in coaching and equal opportunity for all. However ... Under the Rooney Rule, a team is required to interview one minority candidate. What if they have one or several non-minority coaches in mind? Well, then they still have to interview a minority to satisfy the rule, thus wasting everyone's time. That seems pointless, but I know it's politics.

My fault. I should have made a thread about Herm getting fired.

The real problem with it, IMO, is that the minority candidates might see the writing on the wall as far as the Chiefs looking hard at Shanahan or Cowher, and refuse to bother interviewing. 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.

I would think they would do it anyways. To get a feel on what to say and do and learn from the experience. It could only help for future interviews where the GM/owner don't have their guy already.

It boggles my mind that people continue to discuss the Rooney Rule. It is completely and utterly insignificent.

The last team that didn't follow the guidelines of the Rooney Rule was fined $200,000.

That's it.

Clark Hunt wipes his ass with more money than that.

True, but that's the only time it ever happened, and I doubt it's likely to happen again.

Shouldn't HAVING a minority HC and considering keeping him, and after giving him fair consideration, canning him count?


Just sayin...

He just lit 4 mil. on fire when he canned Herm, but I'm sure the 200K would give him pause.

Well, IIRC the coach at Pitts was not high on their list but was their Rooney rule guy. He got hired. So, the rule does work and as Kclee said, it prepares them for future interviews.

In a way it can help teams not rush into a decision.

Now, it does seem that some of these teams already have their coach lined up before they start.

Also, we just had a Black coach. It seems to me they should make an execption for those teams. They have already demonstrated that color of skin is not an issue with them. But, that doesn't seem to matter.
