"Let's give you an update on the Bears game. Anyone know the score?"

"It looks like it's 17 to 10."

"Okay, so that game is 17 to 10."

They wouldn't say who the Bears were playing or who was ahead. It was like they had never been in front of a microphone before.

But anyway, they were talking about the broncos, and they were excitedly talking about how Jim Harbaugh is interested and Sean Payton is interested and so on. And then one of them said,

"But remember, they're also going to have do three interviews with minority candidates before they hire anyone."

Well, they're not wrong. That's how it's viewed in most cases.

I don't like the blatant nepotism and the blatant old boy network in the NFL. I like seeing coaches' kids fail since they never earned the right to be coaches. But they should just change the Rooney Rule to the "Free Weekend of Touring NFL Cities For Minority Assistants" Rule. No one takes it seriously unless the guy is already a candidate for other reasons.

Honestly the best way to fix minority hiring would be to reward the team that hires one as an executive or HC with a third round pick. Currently there is no incentive to hiring one, only losing one. If a team thought they could get a third out of it they might take the interviews with minorities more seriously.

Actually they should reward a fourth to a team that hires a retread minority coach and a third for first timers. Could open up opportunities for young and up and coming minority coaches who lacked the opportunity to coach as a HC or lack the “name pedigree”. Also they can’t churn out minority HCs on a yearly basis like Houston does and expect to be rewarded with additional picks. They would need to retain a coach for at least three years before moving on unless they are let go due to gross negligence or something.
