Chiefs Haley expected to interview with the Chiefs

Tertullian · 02-02-2009, 12:17 PM

The Chiefs are expected to formally interview Cardinals OC Todd Haley about their head-coaching vacancy this week.
Haley is so widely expected to get the job that multiple minority candidates have turned down interview offers, which GM Scott Pioli will still need to satisfy the Rooney Rule. Pioli should be able to come up with a minority coach from somewhere, but it won't be someone who takes the interview seriously. Feb. 2 - 12:50 pm et

If we attempt to interview minorities, and they refuse, that should be an exemption. Automatically.

No kidding, if that is really the case, then the rule is flawed. What if no minorities wanted to interview.... we go without a coach!

Agreed.

I'm sick of this shit. I understand why the Rooney rule was implemented, but goddamn...just hire who's best fit for the job.

....alright, forget it, I'm done. I don't want to come off as sounding racist.

Yeah, because Mike Tomlin indicates that a give-a-shit attitude would be the best approach.

Maybe they've already hired a minority canidate
a rumor yet to run amuck on the airwaves
connects the dots as well as any other rumor

At least if they've made an effort to satisfy the Rooney Rule, it won't look so bad if they have to pay the fine for breaking it. I think the money's not as much of an issue as the bad press.

Agreed. And maybe the press generated from our possible situation is what we need to get this Rooney rule fixed or amended. It has its flaws, but sadly it is based in a reality that showed it was necessary, and looking at the NCAA, is still necessary.

Well, that's the excuse Detroit used when they hired Mooch, and they still got lambasted for it.

Wouldn't it be ironic if an organization that has now supposedly become "leak free" actually couldn't get a minority interview because the biggest leak had gotten out? Should be interesting to see how this is actually playing out behind the scenes. Either Pioli has shrewdly already satisfied this requirement or will satisfy the requirement, or this is a major slip-up by him as a first time GM, or there's something in the rules that the Chiefs have complied with that we don't know yet...

Who says we haven't already interviewed people, including a minority candidate? At this point, I don't think we'll know until it's over, if then.
