Chiefs Have the Chiefs filled the Rooney rule requirement?

OctoberFart · 01-30-2009, 10:28 PM

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.

"We"? What, are you a Chiefs fan now too?

As for the question, Herm doesn't count. However, no one has any clue who we've interviewed, so we may already have fulfilled the requirement.

GOQUEER and WPI disagree. They have cutting edge news and rumors.

This! that didn't take long. However, best Autumwind post I have ever read on here, rep for the Raider fan, but welcome to last week. There are some very qualified black candidates that will hopefully have a shot.

DakmanKC brought up a very intersting one, on the Pittsburgh staff, in another thread.

In Pioli we trust! How is the Raider staff shaping up?

I don't care what color he is. Just Coach.

Well, I can pretty much guarantee that AutumnWind = GROB, but I've never pinned him down to anyone else.

**HemiEd** · 01-30-2009, 11:47 PM

I really want someone from Pittsburgh, bad.

If the Chiefs could only learn how to reload like they do, we may have something with Pioli running the show.

there has got to have been atleast a half dozen of these rooney rule threads this week
I don't get the interest

When Pioli was hired, it was reported that they interviewed multiple others for the GM position. None of which the media was made aware, even the ultimate of the inside skinny, WPI. My personal guess is that they've already covered all their bases and awaiting an opportunity to interview all their options, one of which is preparing for the Superbowl and likely their top canidate for the position. There's weren't any leaks outside of the NFL headquarters on who the GM canidates were, and I'de guess the head coaching position will be handled in a similiar manner.

They already interviewed Herm Edwards to see if he would coach the chiefs in 2009 - so they should be covered.
